"By situating the film in the context of domestic abuse, Whannel avoids cliché by evoking the way that distressed women are routinely treated as irrational and disreputable – a theme carried through to the film’s inspired conclusion." ... Read full review

"By the time the film begins approaching the two-hour point, the feeling sets in that perhaps Whannell is stretching his conceit a bit too far for its own good. But it’s hard to deny his ingenuity and flair with genre tropes and keeping his audience somewhere approaching the edge of its collective seat. " ... Read full review

Leigh Whannell crafts a visceral thriller with a new updated take on the classic story.
WHANNELL has been in my opinion one of the most underrated director /writers for a long time. He was mostly behind the insidious and saw franchises And came out with the spectacular futuristic thriller upgrade in 2018. His brilliant style is once again back with full force in this new adaptation of the invisible man. many people will just look at this like another Blum house manufactured film at first but realize that just because it has the production name on it doesn't mean it will be another throwaway film. This film much like upgrade thrives with a crisp smart script and fantastic visuals. Whannell has a keen eye for detail and it shows in bunches in this film. Elizabeth Moss also gives a phenomenally dedicated performance And sheds emotion throughout. There are many moments in this vicious film that you will not see coming and I was actually surprised by the amount of brutality which serves the overall story well. This is a new take on a classic universal monster that you will not want to miss and it's definitely worthy of going to see in the theater unlike many films of late.

I liked the movie a lot. At the beginning it is a thriller of suspense that catches you from the beginning: Gender violence, psychologicalI liked the movie a lot. At the beginning it is a thriller of suspense that catches you from the beginning: Gender violence, psychological abuse, drama, tension and manipulation by a gifted psychopath. The film is raised by the magnificent performance of Elisabeth Moss. In the middle it falls and becomes the typical Friday the 13th or Halloween horror movie. But that last turn when they are having dinner for me is great. In the end I am left with the doubt of whether it was him or not, maybe he was telling the truth but she was never going to be able to live with that uncertainty and with the hell he made her go through.

The first 2/3 are really well acted and are shot great forcing the audience to question everything they are looking at, though they do ruin some great scares by adding in loud jump scare noises in post but for the most part if the movie had have ended at the end of the 2nd act i would have rated this an 8/10 but for me the ending was so bad it just took me out of the movie due to a couple bad and predictable twists, dumb characters and it ditches the cinematography of the first 2 acts, which makes sense in context but it was still disappointing to me. I would still recommend this but I was disappointed. Expand

One of the worst films I've seen. Started off well but got worse from there and the fact the guy had to wear some suit or something to beOne of the worst films I've seen. Started off well but got worse from there and the fact the guy had to wear some suit or something to be invisible was laughably bad. The guy who was supposed to be invisible or so Elisabeth Moss thought wasn't. Very silly film that gets worse and worse as it drags on. Not scary, not interesting, silly and not well thought out and bad acting. Watch Hollow Man with Kevin Bacon instead because that's a great film but avoid The Invisible Man. Hollow Man was well directed and made and some parts was pretty creepy and it was interesting and Kevin Bacon was awesome even as a villain but The Invisible Man is a joke. Expand
