There are a lot of bad horror remakes out there, but Invisible Man succeeds. There is some shoddy CGI for the actual Invisible Man, but the beginning of the movie (with the domestic abuse) is genuinely terrifying, and sets the tone for a thought-provoking remainder of the film.

A compelling thriller that starts well and degrades from there, the Invisible Man is a psychological horror where the main antagonist's ability to turn invisible is surprisingly less pivotal than you'd think. It ends up feeling like he could have pulled the same stuff off with a reasonably convincing body double.

I had never read this book, so this movie was a completely new idea to me and though I assumed it was some sort of weird secret, I was genuinely kind of caught off guard that he wasn't just a ghost. We've all seen movies about crazy stalker exes and they're fine, but they're never really mind-blowing. This, however, with the twisted element that she might be crazy because nobody can literally see him was so good! I spent the whole movie almost yelling at my tv every time something happened and nobody believed her. Then the PHENOMENAL ending. I was practically cheering in my seat. I've rewatched this several times and it's strange because it's really a thriller but it almost watches like borderline horror and I really love it for that. However, there were some things that seemed a bit extreme, particularly the part with the sister and the specific explanation of how the cameras work was kind of vague, but I guess that is probably the point of it.

A movie where you're assured everyone is a genius, and yet consistently make the worst mistakes possible. There could've been some great themes and metaphors here, but instead they chose to go the slasher route.
