The Invisible Man (2020)	comment	The Invisible Man is a 2020 sci-fi horror film written and directed by Leigh Whannell (Saw, Upgrade), based on the novel of the same name by H. G. Wells. It is the second film adaptation of the source material following James Whale's 1933 version starring Claude Rains in the title role. note There have been many films and television series based on and/or inspired by The Invisible Man but this is the first theatrical release to officially adapt the book, albeit very loosely, since the 1933 iteration.Cecilia Kass (Elisabeth Moss) is attempting to move on with her life after the death of her abusive ex, Adrian Griffin (Oliver Jackson-Cohen). After a series of unexplained events, Cecilia comes to believe that Adrian, a brilliant scientist specializing in optics, is not in fact dead, but has discovered a way to turn himself invisible to stalk and gaslight her. That said, Adrian has left Cecilia a significant amount of money in his will, but she can only obtain it by proving that she's mentally competent to his estate's executor. Trying to convince the authorities that a supposedly dead man is harassing her through advanced technology is not helping her case.The film was originally developed as part of the shared "Dark Universe" alongside other upcoming Universal Horror remakes, with Johnny Depp in the title role. After two false starts, Universal announced that it would suspend the plan for the shared universe and instead redevelop each movie as a standalone. Leigh Whannell was brought in to direct and write and Blumhouse Productions to produce the film; Whannell also stated that the film was not made with any shared universe in mind. Instead of a direct remake, the film reimagines the original plot as the backdrop of a domestic abuse story, and consequently the titular character now serves as an outright antagonist rather than the Villain Protagonist he was in the book.Compare with Paul Verhoeven's 2000 film Hollow Man, which was Inspired byâ€¦ the same source material but isn't an official adaptation. Not to be confused with Universal's upcoming (and unrelated) remake of The Invisible Woman, directed by and starring Elizabeth Banks.Previews: Trailer 1, Super Bowl TV spot, Trailer 2.

The Invisible Man (2020) / int_11ad560b	comment	Adrian gets his shortly thereafter; Not only does his ridiculously intricate security system showcase his obsessive Control Freak personality, but him breaking Emily's car window to try and take Cecilia back after having chased her both across a field and through a forest is pretty much the only indicator the audience needs to see how much of a Domestic Abuser Determinator he is. The dog (ignoring the Dramatic Irony of the situation) establishes his owner's character pretty well: he is named after the head of the Greek pantheon, and yet has a shock collar. Adrian shows strength, hurts those below him and reacts violently (and cruelly) to people not acting as he wants them to.

The Invisible Man (2020) / int_143939c1	comment	Trailers Always Spoil: A minor case that could also be Foreshadowing. When Cecilia dumps paint on Adrian from the attic, the texture or pattern on him is a hint that he's wearing some kind of suit as his method of invisibility. Played with in another element. The trailer makes it clear that the Invisible Man is a real person and not a figment of Cecilia's troubled mind, which many assumed was going to be a big spoiler, but the movie itself reveals that pretty quickly itself, so it wasn't much of a spoiler.

As a funny bit of historical parallelism, the original film actually had one of the highest body-counts of any horror film, but that was mostly via a single act of mass-murder which didn't involve any onscreen gore.

However, Adrian was extremely physically, emotionally, and sexually abusive to Cecilia, using cameras to spy on her. The emotional torment also continues and is shown to get a lot worse after Cecilia figures out that Adrian is not actually dead and moves back to the house in a desperate attempt to appease him and stop him from hurting anybody else.

However, it's worth noting that the opening shows that Adrian is strong enough to easily smash a car window and he's clearly in very good physical shape. There's also the fact that if you can't see someone about to grab your wrist that's holding a weapon, the surprise of it makes you less likely to react in time to resist.

The Invisible Man (2020) / int_18aff462	comment	Artistic License â€“ Biology: In order for Adrian's suit to work, it must cover him completely. Any person covered completely by such a suit would likely have a heat stroke and die within minutes of putting it on, as the body's main way to release excess heat is through the skin. This could be solved by a liquid cooling setup with an external radiator such as the kind used in spacesuits, but there's no indication Adrian is wearing anything like that. In addition, such a circulation system would have a pump and fan that both make noise, giving away his presence. Furthermore, this raises the question of when and where he's finding the time to eat, drink, and take care of his personal hygiene. After several days of sweating inside that suit and not showering, his smell alone would be overpowering. For the last bit, even assuming there was always someone around Cecilia, we knew that at the very least Adrian and Tom took turns.

Furthermore unlike in other versions where his invisibility came from ingesting a potion, this Invisible Man relies on an invisibility suit that, whilst advanced, can be damaged and made to glitch out.

The Invisible Man (2020) / int_20f689e9	comment	Adaptational Villainy: Zig-zagged. While Claude Rains' Griffin in the original movie is portrayed sympathetically, his book counterpart is a villain protagonist who uses his condition for thievery and slowly lost his mind when he was unable to become visible again - we do feel sorry for him at times, although we eventually learn that he even when his sanity was fully intact, he was already a deeply evil man. In this film, however, Griffin is unambiguously evil right from the get-go, without even the quasi-sympathetic treatment the book occasionally gave him.

The Invisible Man (2020) / int_2221d1fc	comment	Invisibility Flicker: Primarily averted and this helps add to the horror of the film since the audience is struggling to figure out where Adrian is just as much as Cecelia is. However, it's temporarily played straight in a few instances. The first occurrence is after Cecelia damages Adrian's suit when he tries to stop her suicide attempt at the asylum. Notably, it actually plays to his advantage, with his flickering in and out of reality continually confusing the security guards and making it easier for him to pick them off. Later in the movie during the primary confrontation, Tom is shot multiple times in the chest. The suit flickers a few times, struggling to function after a few bullet holes are placed in it. And naturally, Tom's in pretty bad shape after being shot in the chest, too.

The Invisible Man (2020) / int_22cf536c	comment	Chekhov's Gun: When she escapes in the middle of the night at the start of the film, Cecilia retrieves a duffel bag she's hidden in a vent in the wardrobe closet. Since Adrian never found it, she uses it again later to store the second suit she found in his lab. Also, during the escape, Cecilia drops a bottle of diazepam that she used to drug Adrian. Adrian uses this to drug her so that she faints during a job interview. Afterwards, she finds the bottle in the bathroom with a bloody thumbprint as a Calling Card. Sydney uses a fire extinguisher to put out Cecilia's breakfast when an invisible Adrian sets it ablaze. Cecilia later uses it on an invisible Tom to render him partially visible when he's attacking Sydney and James. Cecilia is unable to retrieve the second suit as proof of her claims, so it remains at the house. At the end of the film, she uses it to kill Adrian. Various objects in Jamesâ€™ house are quietly introduced in early scenes and brought back for pivotal scenes, including the ladder (used by Cecilia to climb into the attic and find Adrian's "lair"), paint cans (spilled on Adrian to reveal him for the first time), and the fire extinguisher and pepper spray (the former is used to expose Tom in the house attack and the latter is used to serve as a distraction and help Sydney get a head-start in her escape). Cecilia makes her escape from the home by using Adrian's passwords for the home security system, as being lovers the likelihood of that is plausible. Adrian later uses Cecilia's e-mail account to send hurtful messages to Emily, likely because of the same thing.

At the end of the book, Thomas Marvel is shown to still be in possession of Griffin's notebooks, and reads them on his days off in the hope of one day recreating his invisibility potion. In the film, Tom Griffin uses one of the invisibility suits.

However, he turns out to be working with Adrian to gaslight and torture Cecilia into getting back together with him. Cecilia even calls him on it, saying he's just as manipulative as Adrian, only without a spine.

She uses it to kill Adrian by hiding the suit in the one spot where Adrian didn't know about. And given the fact that Tom's is never shown glitching when Cecilia had earlier stab the Invisible Man with a pen, it's likely he had a third suit.

The Invisible Man (2020) / int_381855db	type	Five-Second Foreshadowing
The Invisible Man (2020) / int_381855db	comment	Five-Second Foreshadowing: When the Invisible Man attacks James and Sydney, his suit, which was previously flickering between invisible and visible after Cecilia stabbed him with a pen, doesn't malfunction. It's the final sign that it's not Adrian in the suit and really Tom having taken his place. Presumably it's a different suit. From the same moment as above, Sydney is wearing a shirt with a picture of a jellyfish on it. This ties in to Cecilia's earlier description of Tom as a "jellyfish" and foreshadows the fact that her attacker is Tom, and not Adrian. In the aforementioned prison scene, Tom makes note of Cecilia making a bank account for a friend, which is information he could not have possibly have known unless he was getting fed information from someone spying on her. He reveals his and Adrian's true motives just a few minutes later. In the same scene, there's a poster with two figures standing back to back, one being broken up and fading, with the caption "YOU DON'T HAVE TO FACE YOURSELF ALONE" right behind Tom, indicating that he's working with Adrian and further foreshadows him donning an invisible suit later. Lastly, just before Tom leaves, he says "We'll be watching." While he's already confirmed to be in on the plan, this foreshadows that he's also using one of the invisibility suits.

Cecilia's also hardened from the utter hell she's been put through, including having been forced to resort to killing both Tom and Adrian, and whatever psychological effect this will have on her is anyone's guess, as is whether or how she plans to use the remaining suit. "Ray of Hope" Ending: If one looks closely, one notices Zeus is in her company, hinting that although Cecilia has lost a sister, she has at least one emotional support left in her life. In which case, it's in the form of someone who was just as much a victim of Adrian's cruelty as she was.

Then he says there is one other option that will make all her problems go away: "Agree to have the baby and go back to him." This not only confirms that Adrian is alive, but makes it clear that Tom is complicit in his campaign to terrorize Cecilia.

It ends with her returning to the house to win back control from Adrian, and killing him with the help of the invisibility suit she concealed in her original hiding place. Zeus is at the start of the film when he sees off Cecilia in her escape from Adrian. In one of the last shots, he leaves with Cecilia when she's free for good. The plot starts with Adrian killing himself which is later revealed to be a lie, because he is still alive.

The Invisible Man (2020) / int_727a65e0	comment	Gaslighting: A central theme of the film is to show how horrific this behavior can be, especially since it can and does occur in abusive relationships without any Sci-Fi invisibility suits required. Characteristic of an abusive lover, Adrian manipulates tiny, inconsequential things in Cecilia's life after becoming invisible to slowly make herself and those around her (as well as, to an extent, the viewer) doubt themselves until Cecilia is all but driven insane. All of this to drive Cecilia back into his arms. Although in a variation on the standard definition, he seems more interested in making her look crazy to everyone else than in convincing her she's crazy. There's even some fun wordplay involved; while he's invisible, Adrian manipulates Cecilia with gas (by heating a pan of bacon on the stove until it bursts into flames) and light (by turning the lights on and off). The likely reasoning for making others think Cecilia is crazy rather than have her thinking she's the one going crazy is so that once everyone else distances themselves from her, she'll be isolated, and will have no choice but to go back to Adrian, who'll be awaiting her return with open arms.

The Invisible Man (2020) / int_7febc23b	comment	Establishing Character Moment: Cecelia's meticulously planned escape from Adrian's house shows her to be a clever and determined strategist who can engage in the Indy Ploy when necessary. Furthermore, her almost botching her plan so as to take the shock collar off of Adrian's dog Zeus highlights her more empathetic side. Adrian gets his shortly thereafter; Not only does his ridiculously intricate security system showcase his obsessive Control Freak personality, but him breaking Emily's car window to try and take Cecilia back after having chased her both across a field and through a forest is pretty much the only indicator the audience needs to see how much of a Domestic Abuser Determinator he is. The dog (ignoring the Dramatic Irony of the situation) establishes his owner's character pretty well: he is named after the head of the Greek pantheon, and yet has a shock collar. Adrian shows strength, hurts those below him and reacts violently (and cruelly) to people not acting as he wants them to.

The Invisible Man (2020) / int_83641c73	comment	Logical Weakness: An invisible man is not immune to physics. He still displaces water and other liquids, meaning he's still somewhat (keyword being somewhat) visible in rain and can be pushed around. And while he can still pull off the illusion if he's in an open space, he's unable to hide when Cecilia catches him in her hospital shower, as the space is too enclosed for him to maneuver. There's also one other issue with his suit: it uses cameras to make him invisible - cameras that constantly need to refocus. Said cameras are surprisingly noisy, and while it's never mentioned in the film, they can be heard adjusting in many scenes.

However, the capabilities of the suit are still extraordinary and beyond modern technology, meaning that this is clearly still a Sci-Fi film.

Before Cecilia even starts explaining, Adrian slashes Emily's throat with a knife and places it in Cecilia's hands. She is promptly arrested and put in a mental asylum.

The Invisible Man (2020) / int_c75df49a	type	Shout-Out
The Invisible Man (2020) / int_c75df49a	comment	Shout-Out: In the opening where Cecilia is escaping with Emily, Adrian rushes out of the darkness with almost unnatural speed and punches through a window without any suggestion that he's even slightly injured from the act, much like the T-800 in The Terminator. Later in the film, once Cecilia knows that Adrian is wearing an invisibility suit, we soon see that he has incredible strength and can throw her partly across a room without straining. In the original, the invisible man was called Jack. Now he has been renamed Adrian. The newspaper article announcing Adrian's death mentions he founded the tech company Cobolt, which was also the name of one of the tech companies in Leigh Whannell's previous film, Upgrade. The design of the invisibility suits created by Adrian has it covered in countless different cameras, each of which resembles an eye. When someone's wearing them and the invisibility isn't turned on, they look like Argus Panoptes from Classical Mythology. When Cecilia is taking a manâ€™s car to drive to catch up with Adrian, thereâ€™s graffiti of a certain familiar face on a fence in the background.

The Invisible Man (2020) / int_d7639dba	comment	Achilles' Heel: The Invisible Man may be, well, invisible but he still has physical presence and will displace anything around him like paint or rain, making it easier to track him. Furthermore unlike in other versions where his invisibility came from ingesting a potion, this Invisible Man relies on an invisibility suit that, whilst advanced, can be damaged and made to glitch out. There's also one other weakness which, while never commented on, is still rather glaring - the suit's cameras make noise whenever they change focus, resulting in an insect-like chittering. In many scenes where the Invisible Man does not take obvious action, this is the only way to tell if he's in the scene.

Creating an invisibility suit, Adrian ruthlessly gaslights Cecilia, and even murders her sister to incriminate her for the crime. He also thinks nothing of striking Sydney, and attempts to have her killed just to "send a message" to Cecelia. Tom is Adrian's weak-willed brother who assists his brother in destroying Cecilia's life to force her to come back to him. While not as vile as his brother, Tom nevertheless remorselessly tries to kill Sydney and James showing, as Cecilia attested to, his utter lack of a backbone.

There would also be environmental sounds and physical disturbances that would be extremely hard to avoid and give away the intruder's location in a quiet space like someone's home, one of the worst places to be in regards to being detected like this.

For all the power his invisible suit could give him, he only uses it to relentlessly torment Cecilia. Some of his early behaviour, such as removing Cecilia's papers from her briefcase before a job interview, exemplifies the Mundane Utility such power can have. Given how much of a control freak he is, the pettiness is justified - he's utterly obsessed with getting back at the woman who defied him. If he killed her or felt he had her sufficiently "under control", he probably would have become significantly less petty.
