Netflix Users Have Just 5 Days Left To Watch a Forgotten Sci-Fi Horror Gem

by

Science fiction and horror films often go well together, creating a uniquely creepy experience. They combine isolated locations and futuristic technology with our deepest fears, balancing intrigue with genuine terror. While classics like Alien, The Thing, and Annihilation are well-known, some great films in this blend of genres haven’t gotten the attention they deserve – and one of them is about to disappear from Netflix. A hidden gem from the early 2000s, combining sci-fi and horror, will be removed from the streaming service in just three months.

If you haven’t seen Hollow Man recently, or at all, now’s a good time to check it out. This sci-fi horror thriller from 2000, directed by Paul Verhoeven, is leaving Netflix on March 1st, so you only have a few days left to watch it. The film stars Kevin Bacon as Dr. Sebastian Caine, a gifted but conceited scientist who makes himself invisible while testing his own invention. When he can’t reverse the process, he spirals out of control and uses his invisibility to harass and harm those around him.

Hollow Man Is a Visually Stunning Sci-Fi Horror Film Worth Rediscovering

When Hollow Man came out, it wasn’t well-received by critics or audiences, despite making $190 million worldwide. Its low scores on Rotten Tomatoes—25% from critics and 28% from viewers—caused it to be largely forgotten over time. This is unfortunate, because Hollow Man is a visually impressive, well-acted, and big-budget film that deserves more attention and could be considered a hidden gem.

While the story of Hollow Man is admittedly a bit silly but enjoyable, what really stands out is how impressive its visual effects still are, even after 25 years. The scenes showing the character’s transformation – from muscle and organs to complete invisibility – were groundbreaking for their time. Beyond the visuals, the movie creates a truly unsettling atmosphere. It expertly builds tension with its limited locations and Jerry Goldsmith’s haunting score, successfully shifting from a sci-fi thriller to a suspenseful slasher film in its final moments. And Kevin Bacon gives a fantastic performance, fully committing to the character’s descent into madness, which is a definite highlight.

Where to Stream Hollow Man After It Leaves Netflix?

If you enjoy sci-fi horror, don’t miss Hollow Man on Netflix while it’s still available. It’s currently only streaming there, and it hasn’t been added to any other major streaming services’ March schedules. While some platforms haven’t announced their next month’s offerings yet, so it might appear elsewhere, there’s no guarantee. If you can’t catch it on a streaming service, you can also rent or buy the movie online.
