Nate Gates I like all of them. Aside from the new Halloween movie, Peele, Whannell, Eggers, Wan and Mike Flanagan have reinvigorated my love for horror movies.
Literally just watched the movie 3 hours ago loved it best movie I’ve seen so far this year great acting and tension and a suprise kill that was awesome
Insidious Chapter 3 is my favorite sequel in the Insidious series. Upgrade was a badass revenge film and easily my favorite film of 2018. His Invisible Man was a great thriller and he made the kitchen during the daytime creepy and it was my favorite film of 2020. I don’t blame you he’s a great filmmaker
Upgrade is my favorite film and also really liked Insidious when it came out. I didn't know Whannell was making this till I watched your Saw review a few days ago. I am surprised after the success of Saw that he took awhile to begin directing. Can't wait to see this and I really hope he does a sequel to Upgrade.
I thought this was pretty good. Not so much a horror film to me and more of a thriller. I thought it flowed well and has great tension. I applaud the domestic violence aspect and how that's integrated, not to mention the great Scream nod (all Ill say!). In all a good thriller but not horror so much to me, but still enjoyable.
Charlies angels had a similar budget amount as ford v Ferrari lol. Proves some writers, directors, and actors can't make great products, even with immense amounts of resources.
Just love this take on the classic. A domestic abuse drama with the horror elements. Great performances and Whannel nailed the stuff that we all love about horror movies. 2020 has just got going for me. Gonna go see it again tonight. Thanks for the review again mate, take care. See ya soon.
Saw The Invisible Man last night in IMAX, thought it was really well done, finally Blumhouse has made a great horror movie again. Thought the score was also really well done and Elizabeth Moss was excellent. Keep making horror movies like this Blumhouse and not ones like Black Christmas or Fantasy Island. Great review Cody.
I'm excited for this movie I think Leigh should direct another Monster movie like dracula he talked about an idea he had on bloody disgusting and it sounds cool great review 👍
Fantastic review Cody I love how you show passion & enthusiasm when reviewing movies you have a natural cheeky charm & always deliver great in-depth reviews, Leigh is a very good writer & director who knows how keep the audiences intrigued on the edge of there seats until the final credits. I can't wait to see this film now you given your seal of approval (Mother Mayhem in Cody Leach we trust lol), another great movie Leigh Whannell wrote was Dead Silence that's creepy as hell thanks to James Wans direction.
I’m not overblowing it when I say this is the best horror film of the last decade. It instantly became one of my favourite horror movies, I was blown away by it.
This movie just cemented the fact that I will no longer watch trailers in the future. Because I did not watch the trailer, I had NO IDEA that there was going to be a literal invisible person in it. I thought maybe Invisible was a metaphor. The shock and curiosity I had to go through along the journey of figuring out if the guy turned into a ghost, maybe a demon/poltergeist was taking advantage of her paranoia. Or, perhaps the guy is using some sort of trick and faked his death. I really wasn't sure until her sister received an email. Then I knew that the guy must still be alive. So many twists when you go in completely blind. Loved it.
Haha your intro!! Been wondering about your thoughts on this!! Plan on seeing it soon!! The trailers intrigued me but not sold me. It could have been a bad horror film or a good one. Sounds like it was a good one!
Strangely enough, Elisabeth Moss voiced a little girl in the Batman: The Animated Series episode, See No Evil, who's being stalked by an invisible man... who becomes invisible by wearing a special suit. Regardless, yes, this movie is freaking awesome and, for my money, is the best Universal horror remake since 1999's The Mummy.
This was a very effective thriller, but it did have one of those moments where they just sort of hand-wave away something that seems to require a lot of explanation...SPOILERS for anyone who hasn't seen it yet: how exactly did the guy fake his own death? He didn't fake a disappearance; the cops have a picture of his apparent suicide. Whose body was that? Why did they think it was him despite fingerprints, DNA and dental records, none of which would match? That's the kind of thing that just makes my brain sit there chewing over details they want you to ignore. It's like the end of Saw, where we have to wonder how the killer lay there for a full day without moving, breathing, having to pee, scratch his nose, fart, or anything else when he could've just watched through a camera.
Yeah there was a lot of logic issues. Kinda distracted me from really enjoying it as much as I wanted to. But it was gritty and it looked good. Good review man congrats about the 40k subs
Are we sure that wasnt Johnny Depp the whole time? Maybe the movie had a bunch of jump scares that we just couldnt see? My mixed would defiantly be him punching through the car window, thats not a thing a human can do and as far as i could tell he didnt get super strength from his *spoiler*? He was framed as just being invisible, but i dont know, he seemed to super natural at points. I guess its not a big deal, i just want to complain.
Hey Cody Who's the best horror movie hero/heroine? Nancy Thompson (nightmare on elm st) Sidney Prescott (scream) Jaime Lee Curtis (Halloween) Andy Barclay (Childs Play) Jennifer Love Hewitt (I know what you did last summer)
Did like the movie, but maybe it's because I forgot writing and logic for horror movies, but it bugged me to no end some of the character decisions especially Moss's character. Also why do a kill in a restaurant where there would surely be cameras? Good movie but like all horror movies, terrible decision making and plot questions.
There is supposed to be a spin-off of the Invisible Man starring Elizabeth Banks, titled The Invisible Woman. It's based on her own pitch and she's supposed to be directing and producing it.
*SPOILER ALERT* Regarding your mixed aspect, remember, the brother was also in on the whole thing. Adrian was probably at the meeting where she is told of the 5 million she was left etc and followed her from there, and after that it’s just him going wherever she goes.
Cody Leach yea, feels good to have a good thriller this time of year don’t it? 😎 I was glued through the entire thing. This was much needed after the shitbombs “The Grudge” and “The Turning”
Cody Leach also, upon rewatch let me know, not sure if it was the writing or the acting, but I just had a feeling the whole time that the brother was in on it, wondering if you got that same vibe....
I loved the movie but there’s something that is bothering me. How exactly did she get her name cleared for killing her sister? I know she obviously didn’t do it but there was literally witnesses all over the place that would make it really hard to defend her. And if it’s because the authorities knew about the suit then wouldn’t they be suspicious of her husband dying in very similar fashion also getting his throat cut? She was literally the only person there with him and if they knew of the suit wouldn’t they figure it out pretty quick she staged his suicide? Only things confusing me that hopefully someone can explain. I’m guessing the authorities didn’t know about the suit because she took it off Tom before they got there but then how is her sisters death explained?
Luckily I've seen the movie which was so freakin' awesome!! But for those who haven't seen it ... Yeah, you kinda gave away some of the plot *Spoiler Alerts*
I enjoyed the film as well Cody and I love the action scenes in the movie! The stuff where the invisible man was attacking people and fighting his girlfriend in the kitchen was so cool and the special effects were awesome man!
spoiler After that ending scene with Cecilia killing Adrian, there is no way to tell if he actually was the one that did those things, it could've been the brother that set the whole thing up because of the money in his brother's will that went to Cecilia, faked his brothers suicide and kidnapped him, then the whole movie after is him stalking Cecilia and never leaving her until he is caught and Adrian is found I'm probably looking too much into but I don't know
Great romantic film that I took my girlfriend to. Just about a guy who loves a girl... I really hope Whannell keeps the cinematographer who did this and Upgrade for his future films. I looked up the film on Wiki to read about something I was confused on (don't do that till after you see it) and noticed they're planning on making The Invisible Woman. It was a story pitched by the amazing Elizabeth Banks. After the highly successful reboot of Charlie's Angels, I think we'll have another winner on our hands with that direction...
I absolutely loved this film it had my heart racing the whole time. That's really the first time I saw thay actress she is great. I'm also so happy there was no comedy.
Good movie but there are some questionable moments. The sister completely ditching her over an email, even after she explained it wasn’t her. As if she’d disown her that easily. The knife that killed the sister in the restaurant, where did that come from?? he had to have the knife, so a floating knife would have been making its way through the restaurant to her table. And him getting the paint off his suit so easily, that suit was covered in ridges, there’s no way it would clean off 100%.
I love how Joe Dante got inspiration from the Invisible Man to create Gremlins. Especially with the original Invisible Man being comedic and maniacal at the same time.
It would be awesome if Universal did a pure horror cinematic universe. We already have the MCU, and the (failiing) DCEU for action. We need to have a string of horror movies that's connected, that can take us back to the old days of horror.
I personally would still like to see a Cinematic Universe with these characters. I mean, they were technically the pioneers of a cinematic universe with things like Frankenstein Meets The Wolfman so I totally get why Universal wanted to do that. Maybe a horror universe like what Wan created with Conjuring? But here's my main thing: now that we've done Invisible Man, DO. THE. GILLMAN! That is the Universal Monster that is RIPE for a modern day telling and I am shocked it still hasn't happened yet
So! I finally got a chance to watch this last night and I will say I was pleasantly surprised. I was entertained. I was creeped out. It had moments that made me rewind to see what the hell I had just seen (The restaurant scene). It was thoroughly enjoyable.
I thought this was a great movie! This was definitely one of the more unsettling horror movies i've seen! The only issues I had with it was like you said a few logic issues. But also, this is a spoiler which I won't mention, i dont know if you call it a twist or a plot point or whatever you wanna call it, when it actually comes to explaining this invisible man, I wasn't crazy about what they did with it. But other than that, i had a great time with this movie and I will be seeing this one again!
