Imagine being transformed into a reluctant murderer, unable to defend your innocence or touch your loved ones and forced into a life on the run and in isolation from others.
Focusing on the character’s internal suffering from the consequences of his problem would make for one horrifying nightmare.
For one, I think Blumhouse could freshen up the material by changing the cause of the protagonist’s condition from a radioactive meteorite to something more plausible, and sinister even, such as the result of a ruthless colleague’s experiment, but I really believe The Invisible Ray has potential to be a story of great tragedy.
