• Alternate Character Interpretation: Is Caine really that evil and crazy, or did his fellow scientists force his hand?
  • It may be both. Note at the beginning of the movie, how the guinea pig turned invisible devoured the still visible one. Which means that the serum may indeed affect the user's psyche... Not that Caine's wasn't fractured to begin with.
• Complete Monster: Caine - he plans to kill all his fellow scientists to cover his identity. The invisible rape also shows his "monster" personality.
• Moral Event Horizon: The invisible rape sequence.
• Paranoia Fuel: One of your colleagues is invisible. And insane. And right behind you. And he wants to kill you. (Rape is not off the table either.) Trying to electrocute him (the cure) will just turn him into a mass of walking organs.
  • There's also the part of the film where Caine drags a guy into a pool and drowns him, and the guy's wife looks outside and thinks her husband just fell in.
  • The transformation sequence. It's possible that even a single drop of serum is enough. Your heart just felt warm and is tingling?
• Retroactive Recognition: Greg Grunberg (the pilot in Lost, Matt Parkman in Heroes) plays a supporting character.
  • Rhona Mitra, the vampire in Rise of the Lycans and "The Gates" is the rape-victim. Her vamp powers would have come in handy here.
• Visual Effects of Awesome: Both the transition from/to invisibility and the invisible effects themselves are impressive. The 3D model of Kevin Bacon has since been donated for scientific research.
