A horror classic with a new spin
In 1933, Universal Pictures continued its successful roll-out of cinematic monsters. They had already released “Dracula,” “Frankenstein,” “The Old Dark House,” and “The Mummy.” H.G. Wells’ “The Invisible Man” was next, with then state-of-the-arts special effects and a star-making vehicle for Claude Rains. Rather than remake the original “Invisible Man,” Universal has turned out a creepy movie (2020) with the same title but a plot that revolves around physical and emotional abuse.<br /><br />Cecelia (Elisabeth Moss) is a terrified woman desperate to leave her manipulative, sociopathic boyfriend, Adrian (Oliver Jackson-Cohen). In the opening scene, we see her summon the courage to escape. She succeeds with the help of a getaway car driven by her sister, Emily (Harriet Dyer). Mentally, however, she is still a wreck. Her childhood friend James (Aldis Hodge) takes her into his own home. Soon after, she receives word that Adrian has committed suicide and left her five million dollars, on the condition that she doesn’t commit a crime or isn’t ruled mentally incompetent.<br /><br />As she tries to re-acclimate herself to a normal life, Cecelia begins to feel that she is not alone in empty rooms and that someone is watching her. Several occurrences cannot be explained, such as a kitchen fire that starts and a door that opens when no one is there. She begins to think that Adrian, a scientific wunderkind in the area of optics, is still alive and trying to control her.<br /><br />In this exceptional thriller, with a premise based in science fiction, Cecelia is the central character despite the film’s title. Writer/director Leigh Whannell has used the Wells novel and the Claude Rains film as reference points to fashion a completely new story. Rather than showing objects that appear to be floating by themselves and a series of bandages that reveal nothing beneath, the film uses camera movement to suggest an unseen presence. As Cecelia looks at some recently purchased dresses, for instance, the camera pans slowly to the right and settles on an empty corner of the room—or is it? In another scene, she steps out into the cold night and as the vapor emerges from her mouth, another vapor stream materializes right beside her. These unsettling touches contribute to the movie’s eeriness.<br /><br />As in “Gaslight,” a sensitive woman is manipulated to believe she’s going mad. But there the similarity ends. Though Cecelia is frightened, she never gives in, insisting that Adrian is the one causing awful things to happen. Rather than allow others to convince her she’s not sane, she stands her ground.<br /><br />Ms. Moss is excellent in the role. She conveys a broad range of emotion, from sheer terror to self-doubt to total alienation. Her portrayal is textured and never cliche. Having such a talented star in a film with a fantastical concept is essential to making it believable. Moss draws us in. We feel Cecelia’s fragility, sympathize with her, and root for her.<br /><br />Labels can be misleading. Though “The Invisible Man” may be classified as a horror film, it’s more a character study of a deeply troubled woman trying to conquer memories of mistreatment and reclaim her once-normal life.<br /><br />It’s refreshing to see a major motion picture this good made for the modest budget of $8 million when far lesser films are afforded far more in the belief that the costlier a film, the better it will be. Director Whannell relies on an artful script, a powerful actress, and imaginative cinematography rather than expensive whiz-bang special effects.<br /><br />Rated R for some strong violence and language, “The Invisible Man” digs into the Hitchcock bag of tricks to maximize suspense — the anticipation that something dreadful is going to happen. Tension builds steadily as we watch Cecelia navigate through unseen dangers and is so intense at points that even the sound of a dog dish being accidentally kicked can make a viewer jump.<br /><br />Bonus materials on the 2-disc R-rated Blu-ray/DVD Combo Pack include an audio commentary, deleted scenes, and three behind-the-scenes featurettes. A Digital code on a paper insert is included in the packaging.
