THE INVISIBLE MAN

Is Revenge is served best old and invisible! Yes! Harrowing, unsettling, and gut wrenching narrative Rebooted sans the surgical bandages, novelist HC Wells "Invisible Man" A new and improved control freak who doesn't let go. The ambience is chillerific. Ultra modern 2020 tech savvy Malibuesque sleek concrete see-thru open view glass beach house and everything that money can buy to small town usa is the riveting back and forth backdrop. With all the San Francisco salt air you can breathe. If you can. Artisan and streamlined cinematography- picture perfect creepy attic, Golden Gate Bridge fly over, cozy suburban safe house, to details as nuanced to a wide shot dining with chic square wine goblets. These images meticulously relax you like candlelight into the slippery suspense. The approach to music is awesome silence... raindrops, natural and pelting and then steel. The application is a fantastic orchestration of sound/music/silence. Less is so much more. When there is silence we hear silence, and throughout this film it's what you don't hear that is so foreboding and nerve-racking. Now, Welcome to the Elizabeth Moss Show the sensitive tormented performance -- frightened -- frazzled -- beaten down is "The Film" Her fight back/skittishness with a presence of mind are hauntingly brilliant. You believe in his brutal narcissistic assault only because of her hi-test portrayal. The necessary supporting cast buoys Her up, giving the filler and strength to the narrative's twist filled arc. Oliver Jackson-Cohen smart smug spoiled snot Storm Reid everybody's teen Aldis Hodge neighborly friend Harriet Dyer snippy Michael Dorman a grey suit prima donna play their parts like the everyday people we know and trust The Director/Writer Leigh Whannel....His vision and shots makes you want to dodge weave and duck. Impeccable timing. Chiseled dialogue whips the story along. He did his homework and everything about this is truly a gift on stalking behaviour. No leniency on this harsh violent abusive subject matter (having experienced similar recounts, look a Hollywood Stars' notorious abuse stalking murder cases--this is true to life.) If you empathize with the story it is excruciatingly hard to process that everyday people behave this way in. The editing is superb linear and air tight. Whannel's whole POV is Her story. Is Her story really what happened? Emotional trauma is a slow process in response to being gaslighted. This is Masterly directed, and cleverly written. Just sit still and stop fidgeting. This is his style. One of this year's finest outstanding terror thrillers. Who? This film is for all types, enough action, story, mystery, thrills. If you like Hitchcock, this is more than up your alley. Invisibility is inevitable! It's "6g" away
