Plot: Trapped in a violent, controlling relationship with a wealthy and brilliant scientist, Cecilia Kass (Elisabeth Moss) escapes in the dead of night and disappears into hiding, aided by her sister (Harriet Dyer, NBC's The InBetween), their childhood friend (Aldis Hodge, Straight Outta Compton) and his teenage daughter (Storm Reid, HBO's Euphoria). But when Cecilia's abusive ex (Oliver Jackson-Cohen, Netflix's The Haunting of Hill House) commits suicide and leaves her a generous portion of his vast fortune, Cecilia suspects his death was a hoax. As a series of eerie coincidences turns lethal, threatening the lives of those she loves, Cecilia's sanity begins to unravel as she desperately tries to prove that she is being hunted by someone nobody can see.
My Movie Review: The movie is cut-throat and seamless this classic horror suspense gets an upgrade triggering tense atmosphere of getting caught will keep you on the edge of your seat:0 The Invisible Man is a mystery thriller that hits the mark in all the right places from its unhinged moments to unpredictable turn of events in the latter part, this reboot is for sure worth watching it has fresh prospective, a very capable actress and spooky surprises that hidden in plain sight! Elisabeth Moss is amazing and very effective her fear translated to the big screen and can fill the whole room with dread and animosity she does so much just with her eyes tension mounts! Oliver Jason-Cohen is unusual choice as the invisible man his pretty and preppy face doesn't match the abusive boyfriend look but the way they captured his presence was clever and afar:) Aldis Hodge is machismo tough guy who urge to protect his daughter and friend facing trauma while Harriet Dyer is doubtful sister that add sophistication- dress in a dinner were she got cut:!
Critics Consensus: Smart, well-acted, and above all scary, The Invisible Man proves that sometimes, the classic source material for fresh reboot can be hiding in plain sight. Ultimately, The Invisible Man makes for a pacey, if mostly predictable, reimagining of a classic Hollywood horror terror. Whannell is brilliant at distracting us with amusing, knowing dialogue (siblings are rivalrous; architects are trendy; waiters are irksomely urbane). Death comes when you least expect it. Elisabeth Moss's Cecilia has everything under the sun to be petrified about. It seems that you can teach an old dog new tricks, at least when it comes to classic Universal monster movies. Whannell uses stillness and empty spaces against the audience expertly. But it's Moss who most sells this new, self-consciously serious take on hammy monster movie premise. This film is relentless with a #metoo trope in that the director keeps showing Moss as Cecilia strong physically and mentally. What makes it white-knuckle-worthy is that you can't see her enemy, nor can she. The film surprises with science fiction to show masculine domination over women!
