The Invisible Man (2020)

Trapped in an abusive relationship with a wealthy scientist (Oliver Jackson Cohen), a woman (Elisabeth Moss) escapes from his controlling behavior. Hiding in fear of him finding her, she finds relief when the news reaches her that he has committed suicide. But soon after, she finds herself stalked by an unseen presence. Directed by Leigh Whannell. Despite the film's title, it owes very little to the H.G. Wells novel of the same name. Our protagonist here is female. This is a first rate horror film with an intelligent script that makes the unbelievable believable (at least while we're watching it). The movie has more on its mind than just shocks and scares (not that they aren't there). The psychology of mental (and physical) abuse and the damage it does to its victims is in the forefront. But the director knows not to turn it into a social message movie and turn the heroine into a helpless victim. The film is anchored by a potent performance by Moss. You can feel her frustration, anger, fear and rage. If they're going to continue to remake and reboot film classics, this is the way to go. With Aldis Hodge, Harriet Dyer, Storm Reid and Michael Dorman.
