Sort of. The pacing lags in the middle, and the dialogue is pure cheese ("I can’t see a goddamn thing!"). However, Kevin Bacon is perfectly cast—smug, physically imposing, and utterly unhinged. The final 20 minutes in the air shaft and the burning lab are a masterclass in tension.
Let’s be honest—this movie was made for HD. The CGI for the invisible man (the “empty” suit, the bubbling veins, the eyeball floating in mid-air) was revolutionary for 2000. While some shots look dated (the gorilla de-animation is rough), the practical effects hold up beautifully. The H264 encode in this file handles the dark laboratory scenes well; you can actually see the shadow details without the banding that plagued older DVD copies.

If you have this file on your Plex or hard drive, don't skip it. It’s not Verhoeven’s best, but it’s his meanest film. It’s a B-movie with A-list ambition. Fire it up for the practical gore and Bacon’s scenery-chewing; just don't expect The Invisible Man (2020) levels of psychological subtlety. Sort of
Has anyone else watched the Director’s Cut recently? Does the invisible gorilla scene make you laugh or cringe? The final 20 minutes in the air shaft
