There is only one option left for Cecilia: the escape. In the middle of the night she sneaks out of the apartment to put the horror behind her forever. As soon as she reaches her friends’ apartment, however, she realizes that she is far from safe. Something is following her, but she can’t see it.
The invisible goes on the novel of the same name by HG Wells from 1897, who already experienced a very famous adaptation in 1933 that is well worth seeing. Director and screenwriter Leigh Whannell brings the action to the present and gives the unseen menace a modern twist.
Although the film employs sci-fi elements, it does come up with one thing that feels chillingly real: the depiction of the abusive relationship. Whannell cleverly uses the horror framework to To illustrate Cecilia’s experience. The invisible man does not shock with jump scares, but with a stirring story.
