Score: 8.5 / 10

Elizabeth Moss has been one to watch since she first graced the screen in Madmen. If her award-worthy work on Handmaid’s Tale wasn’t enough, she’s been popping up in films like Us and Her Smell, slowly building a career as a formidable force. She’s always been ready to lead feature films, and Invisible Man helps prove it.

Unlike other monster-flick reboots that go with a hokey premise or a full-on rework of the original concept (RIP the ill-conceived Dark Universe), The Invisible Man is a deeply personal and grounded story dealing with Cecilia Kass’ (Moss) escape from an abusive relationship. The film is tense right off the bat, as her literal escape from their home is wonderfully filmed, and sets the tone for the rest of the tale.

You always have a feeling that Moss is being watched, which is highly unsettling, especially when mixed with Benjamin Wallfisch’s score and exemplary sound editing work. This is “Worrying: The Movie,” but it’s a little more than just tension and Moss’ personal journey. There’s a decent mystery to be solved and at least one shocking twist: do not watch any trailers going in if you haven’t already.
