Dr. Kevin Dornwinkle has been researching how to make things invisible, and plans to reveal his new scientific breakthrough to his skeptical colleagues by testing the serum on himself. The stuff he injects has no effect, and the other scientists all laugh at him. The ridicule makes Dornwinkle snap, and he starts killing them with his bare hands! He gets thrown into an asylum for the criminally insane, but then quickly escapes. Holy shit. Ten minutes into the movie and it's already non-stop crazy!

As a child, Dornwinkle's mother brainwashed him into thinking women were evil, so he resorted to being a peeping-tom his whole life and it left him with some serious anger issues.

Now an escaped convict, Dornwinkle gets a job as a summer school physics teacher, where he can continue his research and spy on the hot teenage girls in the locker room.

Getting physical in physics class

The students relentlessly tease their new teacher, but Dornwinkle concentrates on perfecting his serum in the make-shift science laboratory of his hotel room. His hard work pays off, and the serum is finally successful. The invisibility is perfect but temporary, and the only side-effect seems to be an increase in sexual urges, which is the last thing this stressed-out guy needs!
Now he is free to peep and creep on the girls whenever he wants. All the pervert stuff gets kind-of weird, because Dornwinkle truly is one twisted guy.



Actually, pretty much all the characters are perverts. Even the principal, Mrs. Cello, is seducing the jocks in her office! It's this dark humour that really delivers the weird times through the whole movie.
After continually using the serum and getting abused by the students, Dornwinkle is losing his self-control, and it becomes a question of when, not if, his mind is going to snap.

"If you want to go to college, all you have to do is make me feel like a woman." - Mrs. Cello

Death by sandwich !

As the title promises, Dornwinkle goes full maniac, and he unleashes his rage on the students as they are locked in the school with him. There are some hilarious and memorable death scenes, even though the special effects are basic and sparse.
The movie feels like it wasted some potential, and would have been more enjoyable if it didn't make Dornwinkle so loathsome. There is humour but it's often overshadowed by the dark tone, and yet it never takes itself serious enough to commit to being a slasher flick. Instead, we mostly just get violent goofiness mixed in with naked ladies running around.


Be sure not to miss:
- The boys have some hilarious advice about dating girls. Don't take notes.
- That poor rabbit goes through a lot.
- Evidently, I wasn't the only one that found this line funny.

Internet review:
"It's the kind of movie you feel like having a bath afterwards to wash off the "slime." In other words
I loved it!" - hootson21

Should I watch it?
It's fun for the pure weirdness, but not a must-see.
