The Invisible Man is a 2020 science fiction horror film written and directed by Leigh Whannell. A contemporary adaptation of the novel of the same name by H. G. Wells and a reboot of The Invisible Man film series.

Development of a new Invisible Man film began as early as 2007. The project was announced to be revived as part of Universal's shared cinematic universe in 2016, intended to consist of their classic monsters, with Johnny Depp attached to star in the title role. After The Mummy was released in 2017 to critical and financial failures, development was halted in all projects. In early 2019, the studio changed their plans from a serialized universe to films based on individualized story-telling, and the project reentered development. Principal photography commenced in July 2019 and wrapped that September in Sydney, Australia.

The Invisible Man was released in the United States on February 28, 2020, by Universal Pictures. The film received positive reviews from critics, with praise for Moss's performance and the combination of scares with "a smart narrative about how women can be manipulated and abused in harmful relationships".

Believe me when I tell you that this movie is extremely tense, its a real nail-biter! (some individuals were shaken and had to get up and leave the theater….lol). Elisabeth Moss (best known for “The Handmaid’s Tale) gave an incredible lead performance. Leigh Whannel's direction is incredible. He effectively utilized empty spaces to build suspense with excellent action sequences. We watched this in the IMAX theater and the movies exquisite use of sound/music was amazing in building suspense.

Note: if you are not a scary movie person, this may not be for you. However if you love the suspense and anxiety you get from scary movies, by all means go see this quality film (IMAX Surround Sound) — don’t say I didn’t warn you……😟😲
