Critic Reviews

Ty Burr

A fully felt, decently crafted teen B-movie melodrama, plenty preposterous in places but alive to the vibrant miseries of being young and misunderstood. Read full review

Liam Lacey

The Invisible isn't the formulaic horror film that the studio is selling it as but surely it wasn't supposed to be an accidental comedy either. Read full review

Peter Debruge

That rare mystery in which auds know everything upfront and the characters, rather than investigating, simply wait for the culprit to turn herself in. Previously adapted as Swedish thriller "Den Osynlige," Mick Davis' script brings out director David S. Goyer's emo side. Read full review

Kirk Honeycutt

The drama never comes together in a smart, meaningful way; indeed, most revelations border on the banal. Read full review

Marc Savlov

This may be a remake of a Swedish film from 2002 (itself based on a novel), but unspooling in the cineplex it feels more akin to one of emo godhead Conor Oberst's more emotionally mopey musical diversions. Read full review

Kyle Smith

A 12th-grade "Sixth Sense" with a third-rate plot. Read full review

Owen Gleiberman

Chatwin comes off as prickly and annoyed -- they should have called this "Perturbia." Read full review

To my utter amazement, "The Invisible" isn't another lame horror movie; what's even more amazing, it's not even lame. I know absolutely nothing about "Den Onsynlige", but the American version of this Swedish import resembles "La Femme Nikita" meets "Ghost". Annie(Margarita To my utter amazement, "The Invisible" isn't another lame horror movie; what's even more amazing, it's not even lame. I know absolutely nothing about "Den Onsynlige", but the American version of this Swedish import resembles "La Femme Nikita" meets "Ghost". Annie(Margarita Levieva) is a blonde, so technically speaking, "The Invisible" is "Point of no Return"(with Bridget Fonda, a blonde, taking over for Anne Parillaud, a brunette) meets "Ghost". Annie is such a petulant, hateful speciment of a girl, audiences will be taken aback because this is the sort of role that's usually filled by an African-American or Latino actress. Annie is like a cheerleader gone bad. To my surprise, "The Invisible" contains only one flat-out stupid moment: The person who calls the police should be the last person to do so. Otherwise, there's really nothing else to howl(too loudly) about. How "The Invisible" riffs on "Ghost" is sort of fun: Pete(Chris Marquette) stabs Nick in the back(like Carl stabbed Sam Wheat) and causes his "death", but he didn't mean his friend any harm; and Annie(who looks nothing like Whoopie Goldberg) is used as a conduit to deliver a message to the living just like the fortune teller. "The Invisible" also earns extra points for not ending on an entirely happy note.… Expand

Not a bad teen thriller, although the idea that nearly dead people release of sort of spirit version of themselves into the world gets a little complicated when several of the characters start dying. I half expected a confab of near dead souls, collaborating to escape their fates.

Almost as awful as Premonition. Avoid at all costs. It is forgettable and predictable as well as cliche and ugly to look at. The highlight was the good acting and impressive soundtrack.

The preview looked so cool, until now the movie was so lame and pathetic.
