Hollow Man parents guide

Strong sex and nudity, which is more than most R titles carry. Beyond that, brutal violence and some strong language.

Scare
Mildly scary
A few tense or eerie moments.
Jump scares
Several
More than a couple of sudden jolts.
Gore
Graphic gore
Blood and wounds shown clearly.
Violence
Brutal violence
Our top level for violence.
Sex and nudity
Strong
Strong means explicit or repeated sex, extended nudity, or sexual assault shown on screen, attempted or completed, even partly off screen. Any one of these is enough.
Language
Moderate
Some strong profanity, a few f-words.

What is Hollow Man about?

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.

Does it have a happy ending? (spoiler-safe)

No. Brace yourself.
