* {{Narm}}: The amount of punishment Sebastian endures during the climax becomes comical rather than scary. If there's one way to make your previously threatening human villain into a farce, it's having him set on fire, bashed in the head with a crowbar, accidentally electrocuting himself, and getting caught in a giant explosion, all in rapid succession ''without dying''. Some viewers have joked that the writers forgot he was ''invisible'' and not ''invincible''.



* TheyWastedAPerfectlyGoodPlot: Many critics and viewers thought the intriguing implications and possibilities granted by invisibility were pretty much glossed over in favour of Sebastian quickly going utterly psychotic and becoming a generic, one-dimensional slasher villain, killing and raping people just because he's invisible, feeling such an outcome was the most bland and predictable.



* TheWoobie: The rape victim. She gets viciously assaulted by an unseen psychopathic assaliant and left deeply traumatized. In the extended version she's seen laying in her bed sobbing in fear and humiliation.

* CompleteMonster: [[InvisibleJerkass Dr. Sebastian Caine]] started out as the [[InsufferableGenius charismatic but egoistical head scientist]] leading a project to test an invisibility serum. After a successful run, he lies to his superiors about the project to continue with human experiments, using himself as a [[ProfessorGuineaPig guinea pig]] to see what it was like. Initially passing the time with pranks on his colleagues, he [[InvisibleJerkass gradually gives in to his darker inhibitions]] he hinted at early on, by molesting his female colleagues and eventually [[RapeIsASpecialKindOfEvil raping]] his attractive neighbor whom he constantly spied on, reasoning no one would know. Growing more unhinged and reckless, Caine [[BadPeopleAbuseAnimals batters a dog to death]] when he learns his ex-girlfriend and colleague Linda is now in a relationship with fellow colleague Matt. When his mentor Kramer is told about his activities, Caine murders him and decides to kill off his staff, and sets the facility to explode; leaves one member to bleed to death; manhandles one to shoot herself before snapping her neck; stabs one to death with a crowbar; and locks Linda and Matt in a rapidly cooling freezer, making final attempts to kill them when they escape.
