The Invisible Man

A clever look at the oft-told tale, this version completely forgrounds the experience of our invisible douchebag's victim, played by Elizabeth Moss - first seen fleeing his house, we get the creeping sense that he hasn't left her behind (despite his apparent death), as strange experiences start to pile up. Director Leigh Whannel is one of those, formerly known best as a screenwriter, who knows how to bring a strong visual sense to the table, and this one is great at letting long lingering shots play out as we are constantly disconcerted by what we can't see. The build up to vicious mayhem is ratcheted carefully, with Moss' post-traumatic figure surviving worsening odds, with a suitably bold finale. This is excellent work well worth catching.
