Cecilia (Elizabeth Moss) escapes from her abusive boyfriend. Two weeks later, she is still living in fear, but she is soon informed that her ex-boyfriend has committed suicide. Cecilia inherits a vast fortune from his will. Now feeling free of her dark past, she tries to move on and start a new life. All is going well until she begins to have suspicions that her dead ex-boyfriend might not be dead after all. Now a mysterious “Invisible Man” figure is destroying her life and the ones around her.

As I started to watch this film, I was extremely excited to see a movie bringing “The Invisible Man” back into the horror and thriller genre. While the title feels like a remake, I welcomed it because it feels so long since movie lovers had An Invisible Man film (Hollow Man - 2000 comes to mind).

Elizabeth Moss does a fantastic job playing the lead. A character who is dealing with an abusive past and questioning a new “invisible presence” would be a challenge to play on screen, but I am proud to confess that she’s quite enjoyable in this role. As for suspense, there is lots of it here. For the most part, these moments were creative, and it is obvious the director is avoiding the typical jump scares.

As for effects they were also great. There is lots of creativity as to how this invisible presence starts to ruin Cecilia’s life and haunt her. I cannot speak negatively about the visual effects. The film’s audio was also a nice compliment to the visuals as it felt futuristic and gave a sci-fi vibe, like films such as “Upgrade” 2018 (same director).

Overall, The Invisible Man is a new film even if the story and concept feels repetitive. It’s also a film loaded with stunning CGI effects, suspense & stunning performances.
