A very good job in which well-defined tasks are played.

TheA very good job in which well-defined tasks are played. The story of the character is revealed in an interesting way.The normal viewer no longer cares how the hero looks, because closer to the ending he wants to worry about the character. The atmosphere of the film contributes to this feeling. I also liked the camera solutions that were in another project by Leigh Whannell(Upgrade). The picture also has flaws that compensate for the merits. People ask questions about the reasons for the behavior of the characters, especially the main character of the story. I consider these questions not essential for myself, since in this example the statement works - there is a situation and it is like that. And it's better to think about the reasons behind the scenes, think about how people get to this. Read literature on psychology and get acquainted with real stories of management, moral pressure over people, family abuse. Person who understands such things, will perceive the film at its true worth with all its shortcomings. Those who have not encountered and do not want to understand this will see something different - an ugly woman and her "bad behavior".… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Detailed,intense story with often unexpected twists which the viewer can't stop thinking about. The " Invisible Man " re-made the idea and made something great. Still i can't say it's perfect, Elizabeth Moss showed a great performance again, but showed very few of the invisible man.Anyway worth to watch,even twice as it is full of details which you can only see if you pay attention to the whole screen.… Expand

The Invisible Man is a brilliant movie. It's fun, it's creepy, it's really good. The story is not amazing, but it's not bad. Definately above average. Everything else is really good.

English Abstract

The Invisible Man, by Australian Leigh Whannel, is an extraordinary combination of abusive drama, psychological and paranoid thriller and horror film. In many moments, the suspense, tension and the sense of threat that the film generates are intolerable.

Elizabeth Moss is the ideal actress to play Cecilia, a suffering woman, abused by her husband, who even in the most desperate moments, never abandons a will to fight and access to the truth that will allow her to discover the nature of the threat that haunts her and face her.

A twist on the subject of abuse and by no means a trivialization.

Abstract Español

El hombre invisible, del australiano Leigh Whannel, es una extraordinaria combinación de drama de abuso, thriller psicológico y paranoide y película de terror. En muchos momentos, el suspenso, la tensión y la sensación de amenaza que genera el filme son intolerables.

Elizabeth Moss es la actriz ideal para encarnar a Cecilia, una mujer sufriente, abusada por su marido, que aún en los momentos más desesperados, nunca abandona una voluntad de lucha y de acceso a la verdad que le permitirá ir descubriendo la naturaleza de la amenaza que la atormenta y enfrentarla.

Una vuelta de tuerca al tema del abuso y de ningún modo una trivialización.

English Review

The film opens with Cecilia (Elisabeth Moss) sneaking out of the spectacular home she shares with her husband Adrian (Oliver Jackson Cohen), a psychopathic abuser and optical genius. Despite finding out some time after the death of her husband, she begins to ensure that Adrian harasses her.

The Invisible Man, by Australian Leigh Whannel is an extraordinary combination of drama, psychological and paranoid thriller and horror film. In many moments, the suspense, tension and the sense of threat generated by the frames and some small events of an admirable subtlety and even elegance are really intolerable. On the other hand, its dosed and sudden scenes of violence and special effects are wonderfully resolved.

As in any good genre film, its core is the drama that Cecilia suffers based on the persecutory trauma she suffers like every abused woman, enhanced in this case by signs that do not seem to be from the real world, making the feeling of threat more omnipresent and desperate. It could be said that The Invisible Man refers in some respects to films like Sleeping with the enemy and Gaslight.

There is no trivialization of the issue of abuse: the film never denies the past of Cecilia and her abusive husband. Abuse does not begin with invisibility and Cecilia herself reminds us all the time: she refers to her past with him all the time. The film only shows a new stage of that abuse.

Elizabeth Moss is the ideal actress to play this suffering woman who, even in the most desperate moments, never abandons a will to fight and access the truth that will allow her to discover the nature of the threat that torments her and to confront it.



Reseña Español

La película comienza con Cecilia (Elisabeth Moss) escapando sigilosamente de la espectacular casa que comparte con su marido Adrian (Oliver Jackson Cohen), un psicópata abusador y genio de la óptica. No obstante enterarse tiempo después de la muerte de su marido, ella comienza a asegurar que Adrian la acosa.

El hombre invisible, del australiano Leigh Whannel es una extraordinaria combinación de drama, thriller psicológico y paranoide y película de terror. En muchos momentos, el suspenso, la tensión y la sensación de amenaza que generan los encuadres y algunos pequeños eventos de una sutileza e incluso elegancia admirables son realmente intolerables. Por otro lado, sus dosificadas y repentinas escenas de violencia y los efectos especiales están maravillosamente resueltos.

Como en toda buena película de género, su núcleo es el drama que sufre Cecilia basado el trauma persecutorio que padece como toda mujer abusada, potenciado en este caso por signos que no parecen del mundo real, tornando la sensación de amenaza más omnipresente y desesperante. Se podría afirmar que El hombre invisible remite en algunos aspectos a películas como Durmiendo con el enemigo y Luz de gas, aggiornándolos.

No hay trivialización de la temática del abuso: la película nunca niega el pasado de Cecilia y su marido abusador. El abuso no comienza con la película y la propia Cecilia nos lo recuerda a cada rato: todo el tiempo remite a su pasado con él. La película solo muestra una nueva etapa de ese abuso.

Elizabeth Moss es la actriz ideal para encarnar a esta mujer sufriente que, aún en los momentos más desesperados, nunca abandona una voluntad de lucha y de acceso a la verdad que le permitirá ir descubriendo la naturaleza de la amenaza que la atormenta y enfrentarla.… Expand

Well written, brilliantly acted, this is a clever and brilliant re-make. The sense of fear Moss delivers when all you know is something is present but unseen are superbly crafted and makes this one of the best thrillers of 2020.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The Invisible Man is a big step up for Leigh Whannell from horror films he’s worked on previously, namely the Insidious and Saw franchises, and is probably my favorite film from him to date. The title may be a bit cliche and revealing of the premise of the movie, but everything else about it is great. The acting, directing and writing are all really good and it’s almost surprising how good they are considering that Whannell wrote Insidious: Chapter 2 and directed Chapter 3. This film is for Whannell what The Conjuring is for James Wan. Elizabeth Moss gives a fantastic performance as her character which is bolstered by the supporting cast and capitalized on really well by Whannell. He makes great use of the chemistry between the characters and does a great job of shifting the tone of the film quickly via interactions between the characters. In an instant we go from sad and sympathetic to serious and dark, and the script doesn’t forget to incorporate some fun and lighthearted moments too to balance out the scary parts of this movie. TIM bases its horror in what we can’t see and has a presence throughout it that grips us with fear and anxiety as much so as it does for Moss’s character, allowing it to be a bit unique as a horror movie. Unless you’re really good with horror movies, this isn’t one you’ll want to watch alone in the dark cause you’ll get freaked out just sitting there. A lot of horror movies make you not want to look behind you or in the mirror; with TIM, it doesn’t matter where you look or what position you’re in, and that alone makes this a very effective movie. In addition, Whannell, like with Insidious 3, makes great use of camera movement and position, light and sound to make this movie even scarier and hold viewers the whole way through. TIM is packed with emotional moments that make you smile and sit there with your mouth open, so it’s a bit of a rollercoaster. TIM also flows really well and makes sense the whole way through, with scenes that are very realistic of what would actually happen in the situations that occur and how regular people would respond to them. Whannell gives us real world horror since it’s feasible that something like this could actually happen in the real world, which is slightly freaky but also a nice breath of fresh air from other horror franchises that are more founded in the supernatural. The end is also smart and satisfying for both viewers and Moss’s character and is something you likely won’t see coming the first time around, giving viewers a bit of a surprise. Overall, TIM is an intriguing and effective horror film and I’d strongly recommend it to fans of the genre and of Whannell.… Expand

A cross between Terminator and a slasher movie. Reasonable start with the story, but then goes daft and returns to being decent
