88 Films will release visionary director Paul Verhoeven‘s thrilling sci-fi horror, Hollow Man, and Claudio Fäh‘s direct-to-video stand-alone sequel, Hollow Man II, in a Special 3-Disc Collector’s Edition Blu-ray Set on 22 April 2019.
In Hollow Man, a team of scientists – the ambitious Dr. Sebastian Caine (Kevin Bacon), his ex-girlfriend Linda (Elisabeth Shue) and colleague Matt (Josh Brolin) – 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), 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) and homicide detective Frank Turner (Peter Facinelli) 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.
