The premise

Cocky researcher Sebastian Caine is working on a project to make living creatures invisible. Determined to achieve the ultimate breakthrough, Caine pushes his team to move to the next phase — using himself as the subject. The test is a success, but when the process can't be reversed and Caine seems doomed to future without flesh, he starts to turn increasingly dangerous.

Horror Vault's take

A brilliant but arrogant scientist volunteers himself as the guinea pig for a military invisibility project, only to find that becoming unseen may be irreversible. As his team races to find a solution, Sebastian Caine's grip on ethics and sanity begins to unravel in deeply unsettling ways. What starts as a triumph of science quickly becomes a desperate fight for survival as those closest to him realize the monster they may have helped create. Paul Verhoeven's effects-driven thriller asks a chilling question: what would a man do if no one could see him?
