The Invisible Man (I) (2020)
9/10
The Invisible Man- Creeps up on you and stays unlike many of its kind.
9 September 2020
Elisabeth Moss, the "Queen of peak TV", has had herself a consistent line of roles in well-received film and on the small screen. Deservedly so, and she continues that for Leigh Whannel's The Invisible Man- An ambitious Psychological Horror that deserves to be ranked among the recent likes of Hereditary, Midsommar and A Quiet Place. Its cinematography, editing and lack of reliance of jump scares are remarkable; Aldis Hodge, Michael Dorman are terrific in terms of cast along with Oliver Jackson-Cohen's antagonist is chillingly real even though he ramps up in science-fiction abilities (or does he?).

Under the guise of being a winter scare-coaster, it's more so a timely testament on the terror of domestic violence and the need for women to be believed and saved in the most dire of circumstances. Elevated Horror has been given a lot of proper due this past half-decade, and I'd be more than happy to see this dignitary installment receive a follow-up of some sort.

Grade- A/3.5 out of 4 stars.
