Storm Reid stars in TheInvisibleMan and explains why the film is resonating with audiences: “We’re talking about gaslighting and toxic masculinity and domestic violence. It was important to have a woman at the center of this film”

’s version makes him an elusive villain and the film’s protagonist is Moss’ Cecilia Kass, a woman attempting to convince others that she is being stalked by her invisible ex from hell.

“It would be like if someone just out of the blue [and said] ‘What do you think of Peter O’Toole?’ Like, ‘I guess he’s great? Why are you bringing this up now?’” Whannell laughed, recalling his impromptu pitch. “I just started ad-libbing and I said, ‘Well, if I [were] to make an ‘Invisible Man,’ I would tell the story from the point of view of the victim.’ And they were like, ‘That’s a great take. We’re in business,’ and next thing I knew I had a job.

Whannell also praised Moss’ work on the film. “The whole movie rests on this lead,” he said. “I don’t know if there [are] many actors that could really pull that off. Elisabeth is on that list.” Moss, on the other hand, seems satisfied taking a break from heavier material for a little bit, following a slew of dramatically intense roles in projects like “Us,” “Her Smell” and “The Handmaid’s Tale.”
