Without a buildup and without at least some intelligible exposure, a painting by Lee Warnell starts. The Australian director who shot the 'Upgrade' before and wrote the script for 'Saw' made a new horror film in which fear becomes a feeling that is really transmitted to the viewer. And here the conversation is not about absolutely even about fear, the film has a subjective look, we are inseparably watching the main character and us, as well as the whole viewing, the feeling of paranoia and insecurity does not let her go.
Elizabeth Moss gave a brilliant performance, she, with her outstanding appearance, played a woman at the same time strong and desirable. The film has a very strong feminine subtext, which at the same time is not conspicuous, but rather well-veiled, is presented to the viewer through the heroine’s struggle, both with internal and external demons. 'The Invisible Man' is a bit like the films of Jordan Peel, he also actively exploits social issues seasoning her with suspense of the highest level. The rest of the characters do not show something outstanding, although I personally expected a performance from Jackson-Cohen, he showed himself very well in 'Ghosts of a House on a Hill'.
The film goes on for two hours and successfully keeps the dynamics, they said that there are holes in the plot, but I did not notice, it looked very tense. The first minutes of the film are so outstanding in general, in addition, I will separately note the sound and music, this is the case when you do not understand, are the sounds at the editing or the truth was in the film. The operator also repeatedly built deep scenes and turned Moss's fear into something existing, without resorting to obvious moments.
The film, with a budget of 7 million, has collected more than 100, and, perhaps, of the classical representatives of the genre (although there are no such representatives, everything mixed up), this is the best representative in recent years.
