Prof, would you like to rephrase this question?
If I answer “Not from a film set in the present (for when the movie was released), without being of the sci-fi, fantasy or horror genres,” it could have several meanings. I could mean the film is not set in the present, or the film is sci-fi, fantasy or horror genres, and one of those would be wrong.

“Was human, not any longer” made me pretty sure it was a horror movie character. Common first name with F is most likely Fred. Given the time frame, he seemed the most likely choice.

Ah - I thought it might be a transformed alien or monster of some kind. Good one!
