The Invisible Man
After the failure of The Mummy, Universal's Dark (shared) Universe is no longer happening. With The Invisible Man, it's quite alright for the Dark Universe to not be connected in any way. More like an anthology series only with movies. (Depends on how you look at it since every movie is... well you get the point). The Invisible Man, connected or not, was a psychological, thrilling masterpiece starring the one and only Elizabeth Moss.
Written and directed by Leigh Wannell (never heard of her) and she does a marvelous job creating a modernized version of a classic monster movie with elements of female abuse. As it is also a horror movie, the movie did not rely on jump scares like most horror movies and made it just as creepy as good horror movies are.
Elizabeth Moss brings in her Handsmaid Tale experience to the table in her second feature film in the best way possible. Clearly, Moss is meant to play roles like Offred and her small role in Us. Disturbed characters that wield knives or any unreliable weapon.
The score is composed by the Benjamin Wallfisch who created the terrorizing and soothing themes of IT Chapter One and Two and created music that was so great that you could not help but listen to the themes played in the movie during the end credits. Luckily, there were post credit scenes or end credits scenes, eventhough I was looking for one.
I hope there is no sequel or prequel or spin off to spoil this great movie for that it was too good. Unlikely for it to be nominated for next years Oscar's but it would not unsurprising if it did. I want to watch more of Leigh Wannel's work and I want to see Elizabeth Moss in movies like this more often. I will be rating Invisible Man a 9/10 for it's slow pace horror thriller pace that will most likely satisfy your appetite for binging during lockdown season.
