What happens

The Invisible is a 2007 teen supernatural thriller directed by David S. Goyer and based on the Swedish young adult novel by Mats Wahl. The film stars Justin Chatwin, Margarita Levieva, Chris Marquette, Marcia Gay Harden, and Callum Keith Rennie. It follows a high school student (Chatwin) who is attacked and left for dead, only to find himself trapped in a liminal state between life and death as he tries to solve his own attempted murder. The film is a remake of the Swedish film of the same name released in 2002. This marked the first Hollywood adaptation of a Swedish feature since Intermezzo (1936) and is cited as starting the modern wave of American remakes of Swedish films. The American version was released in the United States on April 27, 2007, and was the final film released through Hollywood Pictures before the company's closure later that year.
