The Invisible Man Movie Review







The Invisible Man is a 2020 horror movie directed by Leigh Whannell and starring Elisabeth Moss, Oliver Jackson-Cohen and Aldis Hodge.

Cecilia Kass(Moss) is a woman who lives with a very wealthy man called Adrian Griffin(Jackson-Cohen). He is a controlling and abusive man and she wants to leave. One night, she executes her plan and she leaves. Adrian tries to catch her as she leaves, but he fails. She finds out later that he has committed suicide. She is going to get five million dollars from him. She is living with a friend of hers called James Lanier(Hodge) and his daughter, Sydney. She has to go and meet Adrian's brother, Tom(Michael Dorman) to arrange the money. He says that he didn't like his brother either. She feels that she can move on with her life when strange things start to happen. Things move around and she gets drugged. There is something weird happening.


Cecilia begins to think that Adrian has something to do with it. She says that he was a genius in optics and that he was working on something that could make him invisible. She thinks that he is the one who is tormenting her, but they think that she is crazy. Someone writes a nasty email to her sister and this makes her turn her back on Cecilia. Someone hits Sydney also and this prompts James to take Sydney away. Cecilia looks around the house and she finds Adrian's phone in the attic. She senses that he is in the house and he really is there. He attacks her but she throws paint on him so she can see him. She goes back to the house that they shared and she finds his invisiblity suit. Now, she is sure that it is him. She goes to meet her sister, but someone slits her throat and drops the knife into Cecilia's hand so she is charged with the murder.


Cecilia ends up in a mental institution. She is also pregnant. She gets a visit from Tom who tells her that she can get out if she agrees to go back to Adrian. She realises that he helped his brother to frame her. She lures him out by pretending to kill herself. She runs off when he grabs her. He kills the staff at the hospital and chases her. The invisible man goes to get James and Sydney. Cecilia intervenes and she uses a fire extinguisher on him. It turns out that the figure was Tom. She knows that he conspired with the brother. Adrian is found at his house, tied up. He claims that Tom was the one who was responsible. Cecilia knows that this isn't true. Adrian claims that he was kidnapped and held by his demented brother. Cecilia decides that she has to catch him out so she agrees to meet him to talk. She realises that he hasn't changed and she goes to the bathroom. The camera catches her leaving and then it shows Adrian killing himself. Then she reappears and she is horrifed. She calls the cops. James wonders what happened and he spots an invisibility suit in her bag as she is leaving. He decides to let it go. It turns out that she took Adrian's spare suit and made herself invisible and killed him but the camera shows that he killed himself. She leaves happy that he is finally out of her life.


I liked this film. I think it is probably more of a thriller than a horror,but it had some creepy moments so I will let that go. I liked the story. It was interesting and I enjoyed this one. It is creepy that someone could be watching you and you can't see them. I liked the idea of that. All in all, this is a decent film with some good eerie scenes and tense moments. I recommend it and I will give it a 7/10.
