the reason "The Invisible Man" holds you in an emotional vise grip for so much of its running time is thanks almost entirely to Elisabeth Moss. She gives a central performance that serves as a master class in acting for a horror movie
Leigh Whannell mixes metaphors in this limp remake, using gaslighting and privacy fears for his uneven sci-fi horror; Though Adrian’s methods grow increasingly menacing (or is it all in her head?), "The Invisible Man" lacks for truly terrifying moments
Elisabeth Moss is an acting event all by herself, a modern version of Bette Davis, and "The Invisible Man" gives her a chance to embody all kinds of emotional extremes - terror, dread, madness, inconsolable grief and murderous rage
Elisabeth Moss battles toxic masculinity in a none-more-timely reimagining of HG Wells's sci-fi yarn; It's not flawless, but it's surprisingly smart and, crucially, it has Elisabeth Moss to cover the bits that aren't
an enjoyably nervy little slice of psychological horror whose best moments aren't its numerous jump scares (though they are, in fact, extremely jumpy) but the quieter, more existential ones
a slow-moving thriller with too many blank spaces; it's a disappointment on nearly every front, however, save for Elisabeth Moss' deep-digging performance; "The Invisible Man" rarely delivers the shocks and jolts it promises
a reliably committed lead performance ignites a mostly enjoyable, often timely, take on the HG Wells story that falls apart in the final act; There's fun to be had here, thanks to Moss and an involving set-up, and given the state of multiplex horror
a domestic abuse horror that radiates with genre-clashing originality; Horrors have always reflected the societal fears of the time, and "The Invisible Man" reverberates as a bold and thrilling addition to the genre
"The Invisible Man" puts a wholly fresh and compelling spin on the classic monster, delivering a cleverly scary movie with a fantastic lead performance
"The Invisible Man" is devious fun, with a message that's organic enough to hit home: that in a toxic relationship, what you see is what you get -- but what gets to you is what you don't see
