7 Horror Movies Where Scientists Are To Blame For Everything
7. Hollow Man
One of Kevin Bacon’s most misunderstood and shocking roles (he didn't quite understand it himself, apparently), Hollow Man is a hidden treasure that every horror movie fan should add to their must watch list. In this film, scientist Sebastian Cane (Bacon) and his team develop a serum with the never before seen capability (get it?) of turning organic matter invisible. Well done, guys, now what do we do with it?
After a successful test of the invisibility elixir is conducted on a gorilla, the ambitious Cane pushes for an immediate human trial on his own body. This hasty decision turns out to be a terrible mistake when the team fails to bring him back to his original state. That’s when all kind of creepy unseen shenanigans start occurring, such as rape and murder, right along Cane’s psychological and emotional deterioration.
Throw in an unnecessary romantic triangle (watch out for a then-relatively unknown Josh Brolin), slowly sprinkle Cane’s unstable hyperactive mind and you’ll get the perfect formula for a horror movie that feels both disturbing and hilarious.
