In TheInvisibleMan, Leigh Whannell uses the pulpy powers of invisibility to expose the terrors that have become all the more visible in the MeToo era
of revitalize its classic monsters, Universal has finally found the winning formula with Leigh Whannell’s. A reimagining of James Whale’s 1933 film of the same name, itself based on H.G. Wells’ groundbreaking novella, this latest incarnation ofmakes the character frightening again by giving him a contemporary urgency. The Invisible Man has always been one of the more grounded Universal Monsters. Unlike Dracula, the Mummy and the Wolf-Man, his existence isn’t reliant on the supernatural.
Whannell smartly shifts focus away from the Invisible Man and towards his victim Cecilia Kass, casting the central monster in an entirely new light and giving us a fascinating new heroine in the process. Moss plays Cecelia as a woman who has shrunken into herself, a woman who hunches, creeps around, and looks downward even if there’s seemingly no reason for her to do that anymore. There’s a realism to the trauma she’s experienced and continues to experience, not only in terms of how it affects her but her friends and family in her corner, James , Sydney , and Emily .
