THE INVISIBLE MAN is another pretty good sci-fi/horror movie combo from Leigh Whannell, whose previous effort, UPGRADE, was similarly enjoyable. This turns out not to be a remake of the Universal classic at all but rather a look at abusive relationships and gaslighting. A lot of the goodwill comes from Whannell's understated directorial style and Elizabeth Moss's performance, which is very strong and very physical. It's a slightly overlong production with one twist too many for my liking, but there's plenty of suspense punctuated by the occasional set-piece (including a TERMINATOR 2-inspired bit in a mental hospital which is really good) that makes this work a treat.
