REIGN OF TERROR

Invisible is a John-Hughes-esque adaptation of the HG Wells classic The Invisible Man with a totally original pop/rock score that pays homage to popular music of the era. 

Two nerds, Griff and Kemper, dream of winning the affections of the Lindeborne twins, the most popular girls in school. Despite the objections of their goth friend Hemlock (who has a crush on Griff ), Griff and Kemper hatch a plan to win the twins: Make themselves more popular using science. But when a serum meant to clear Griff's acne turns him invisible, all seems lost. That is, until Griff uses his invisibility to help Kemper beat Chetwick, the school's bully, in a fight, which sends the school abuzz about Kemper. 

The two use Griff's condition to make Kemper even more popular, figuring that he will just help Griff become popular after he is cured. But soon Kemper goes mad with power and betrays Griff. Griff swears vengeance, and creates a trap to turn Kemper invisible at the prom. Hemlock tries to stop him, and confesses her feelings for him, but he ignores her. As the plan is about to go off, he realizes what a monster he's become, and races to the prom to stop the trap. In doing so, he is hit with the serum, which by now has catalyzed into a cure. Fully visible, he stops the attack of a jealous Kemper, and ignores the resulting buzz from the students so he may apologize to Hemlock and share the last dance with her.
