Why it’s HorroRated

The Invisible Man is a Universal Monster remake that identified what the material is actually about, made that the film's subject, and delivered it with real formal control. Leigh Whannell understands that the most frightening version of this premise is intimate partner violence enabled by technology. Elisabeth Moss's performance is one of horror's great sustained efforts. Essential.

Synopsis

Leigh Whannell's update of the Universal Monster makes the invisible man a vehicle for examining intimate partner surveillance and control. Elisabeth Moss carries the film through a sustained performance of anxiety and trauma. One of horror's great sustained efforts.
