The Invisible Man

When Cecilia's abusive ex takes his own life and leaves her his fortune, she suspects his death was a hoax. As a series of coincidences turn lethal, Cecilia works to prove that she is being hunted by someone nobody can see.
What critics thought
Elisabeth Moss is the near-unanimous focal point — critics who loved the film credited her performance with making the terror feel personal and grounded, while detractors argued that the allegory around domestic abuse and gaslighting is more timely than it is satisfying, with the thriller mechanics feeling underdeveloped beneath the concept. The split is less about whether the film works as a horror exercise and more about whether its craft and ambition add up to something substantial or merely clever.
“gives the movie its emotional stakes”
Manohla Dargis·The New York Times
“an experience that is both effective as a full-blown horror film and as a chilling reminder of the abuse one can suffer from a supposed loved one”
Patrick Cavanaugh·ComicBook.com
“a bracingly modern #MeToo allegory that, despite its brutal craft, rings hollow”
Jake Coyle·Associated Press
“at a time when small-scale horror movies can be as stunning as A Quiet Place and Get Out, a film as perfunctory as The Invisible Man feels insulting”
Nicholas Barber·BBC
“While chock full of relatively good scares, campy effects, and an ending that will tickle a very specific demographic of 1990s and 2000s thriller fans with glee, The Invisible Man doesn't deliver more than that”
