"The Invisible Man": Movie Review
There's a sustained, chilling silence to "The Invisible Man" that sets it apart from its competitors. Each scene offers a deliberate view into its intellectual subtext, contributing to the film's additional layer of dread. Even with its leaps of believability and predictable ending, this is a creepy thriller, worthy of your time and money.
When Cecilia (Elizabeth Moss) learns that her abusive ex-boyfriend (Oliver Jackson-Cohen), has committed suicide, she attempts to prove that he is stalking her with his technological prowess.
Through the combination of the criminally underrated Australian director Leigh Whannell ("Upgrade") and the budgetary genius producer, Jason Blum, both show an interest and willingness to modernize its 1933 predecessor with its take on male dominance, abuse, and post-traumatic stress.
"The Invisible Man" is not without its flaws, but between Moss's dazzling performance and Whannell's confident directing, this is a reboot worthy of running to the theater for.
