“It sounded a lot like he killed himself.”

From The Invisible Man.

In order to escape from her abusive and controlling boyfriend, Adrian (Oliver Jackson-Cohen), Cecilia (Elisabeth Moss) slips out in the night from the young tech guru’s state of the art mansion and has her sister, Emily (Harriet Dyer), drive her away to safety.  Two weeks later, she’s staying with family friend and police officer James (Aldis Hodge) and his teenage daughter, Sydney (Storm Reid), terrified to leave the house for fear of Adrian finding her.  However, shortly after Emily arrives to tell her that Adrian committed suicide, Cecilia receives a legal notice informing her that she is listed as a recipient in his trust fund.  Cecilia and Emily go to meet with Adrian’s lawyer brother, Tom (Michael Dorman), who informs them that Cecilia is to receive millions from the deceased’s trust fund.  However, while initially thrilled to finally be free of Adrian and any future financial worries, Cecilia quickly begins to doubt that Adrian is dead as some invisible force seems intent on destroying her life.  Surrounded by the un-explainable, Cecilia watches as her sister, James, Sydney, and everyone else she meets remove themselves from her life because they think she’s crazy.  Things begin to happen in her personal and professional life that make her question everything, but it also becomes unmistakably obvious that she is being tormented and punished by her somehow-invisible ex.  Left with the choice to either allow herself to go insane or fight off the Adrian she can’t see, Cecilia refuses to let him win and begins to fight for her freedom, sanity, and very life.

The special effects used to create an invisible tormentor throughout this suspenseful sci-fi thriller are truly amazing. Moss performs brilliantly as she handles acting and struggling with an invisible foe. The first half is extremely suspenseful, especially for those who don’t enjoy horror films, but the second portion falls into the thriller category. The Invisible Man is an intense, edge-of-your-seat can’t-miss ride from start to finish and definitely worth the watch.
