The Invisible Man: B+

Universal Pictures and Blumhouse Productions give a face-lift to the classic H. G. Wells tale, less science fiction and more thriller. The updated narrative follows Cecilia (Elizabeth Moss), a trauma survivor who must convince those around her that she is not insane in her belief that her abusive husband is still haunting her—despite evidence that points to his alleged suicide. Leigh Whannell effectively sustains tension through the use of long takes and suggestion. Scares in certain scenes, however, become less effective due to the revealing trailer. Overall, Cecilia’s ordeal leads to a satisfying conclusion, steeped in empathy and female empowerment.
