Nice suspense thriller.
Great watch, will watch again, and do recommend. This really is a "what if" they extended the scenes from "Hollow Man" where Kevin Bacon gets into the public and starts messing with people. I am starting to worry about Elisabeth Moss though, she seems to be type-casting into all these heavy handed dramatic roles, or maybe that's just how she acts. She's certainly good enough to pull it off, so it's not a downside of the movie, it's just part of a note that this movie is very much a slow-burn suspense. On the premise alone, the first 2 acts are going to be that way as it is established that she is / isn't crazy and there is an invisible man stalking and sabotaging her. My biggest problem with the movie is that there has never been a more plausible and clearly reasoned explanation for the events, to include camera footage and dead bodies, than she has in this story. If someone finalized a version of a wearable inviso-suit, then this is exactly the type of nonsense they're going to get up to, especially if no one knows about it. It is a little irritating how they handle him once he's been exposed as well. Mostly it's because of the premise that no one believes her, but you'd think people had seen a ghost movie, or would have a clever idea. If the movie sounds good to you at all, then I really think you'll enjoy it.
An excellent adaption of the Universal classic. Wholly original, modernized, and thrilling, building off writer/director Leigh Whannell's fantastic science fiction debut Upgrade.
**The Invisible Man tells a story we have seen too many times in a fresh, terrifying, and ASTOUNDING way!** Blumhouse's reimagining of The Invisible Man is PURE BRILLIANCE as it tells of a woman surviving a dangerously abusive relationship only to question if she had truly escaped. Paranoia and anxiety saturate every moment of The Invisible Man. Elizabeth Moss's performance of terrified but strong Cecelia makes the Invisible Man believable and all the more chilling. Director Leigh Whannell comes fresh off of the extraordinary Upgrade (2018) to deliver another unique and innovative horror must-see. Blumhouse is the clear powerhouse of horror films, and The Invisible Man is one of their best.
The Invisible Man, directed by Leigh Whannell, delivers a solid story with many twists and turns that keep the audience guessing. While the pacing is slow and the final reveal lacks a bit of punch, the film has a decent amount of suspense that keeps the tension high. The acting in the film is fantastic all around, with Elisabeth Moss delivering a brilliant performance as the lead character, conveying fear and helplessness in a way that is both honest and heartbreaking. Aldis Hodge also delivers a standout performance, bringing a calm but intensely serious attitude to his role that creates a sense of trust not only with Moss’s character but with the audience as well. Storm Reid also surprises with a performance that adds a sense of lightheartedness to an otherwise dark and depressing screenplay. Leigh Whannell's direction is stellar, with some really creative imagery that explores the unique concept of invisibility. The scene in the mental hospital stands out as a highlight, with brutal action and sharp camera angles that keep the audience engaged. In conclusion, while The Invisible Man may have its flaws, it is a solid thriller that benefits from excellent performances and fantastic direction. Fans of suspenseful movies will find plenty to enjoy here, even if it's not the scariest film out there. Score: 71% Verdict: Good
**_Eerie atmosphere and well-done scenes mixed with tedium and eye-rolling bits_** A woman (Elisabeth Moss) escapes her abusive husband and their incredible coastal mansion outside of San Francisco, but she can’t help but suspect that her optics specialist spouse is manipulating things, unseen, which makes her seem crazy to others. "The Invisible Man” (2020) is not a remake of the 1933 classic movie, which was based on HG Wells’ 1897 novel, but rather a totally new story in the modern day with a very different method of attaining invisibility. It starts in an artistic way with mysterious intrigue, similar to the excellent beginning of “Resident Evil” (2002) before morphing into a slow-burn flick about possible paranoia, reminiscent of the bulk of “Rosemary’s Baby.” Then there’s the emphasis on toxic masculinity and female empowerment with the addition of black man good, white man evil. I normally wouldn’t notice or mind, but it's just so glaring here it’s eye-rolling. Moss is serviceable and fits the role, but her character is hampered by a perma-frown and Halloween eyes, which isn’t good for the viewer since she’s the focal point of the entire (overlong) story. As such, the film would've been more effective with someone more easy-on-the-eyes like Amy Adams, Rachel McAdams or ScarJo in the lead role, even JLaw. The flick works up some good artistic mood, but it’s so slooow I can’t see it working on repeat viewings. Nevertheless, there are a couple of great scenes, like the shocking restaurant episode. Moreover, the basis for the invisibility is interesting, as well as believable, compared to a magical serum. It runs 2 hours, 4 minutes (with 13 minutes of that being end credits). It was shot in New South Wales, Australia, including Sydney and the corresponding Disney Studios, as well as places south of there, like Kiama and the Headland House in Gerringong. GRADE: C+
