From the mind of visionary director Paul Verhoeven (RoboCop and Starship Trooper) come two tales of transparent terror!
In Hollow Man, a team of scientists – the ambitious Dr. Sebastian Caine (Kevin Bacon – Apollo 13, Tremors), his ex-girlfriend Linda (Elisabeth Shue – Back to the Future Part II & III) and colleague Matt (Josh Brolin – Avengers: Infinity War) – have developed a ground-breaking serum for invisibility. Desperate to take their research to the next level, Caine volunteers himself as a test subject with horrifying results…
Hollow Man II tells the story of Michael Griffin (Christian Slater – Mr. Robot), an invisible assassin gone haywire. Facing a slow death unless he receives a life-saving antidote, it’s down to biologist Maggie Dalton (Laura Regan – Dead Silence) and homicide detective Frank Turner (Peter Facinelli – The Twilight Saga) to take whatever measures necessary to apprehend this unseeable menace…
Featuring Oscar-nominated special effects, adrenaline-pumping suspense, and provocative commentary on the nature of power and corruption, Hollow Man and Hollow Man II are ripe for reappraisal with this lavish collector’s edition box set from 88 Films!
Here are the special features.
