• The Invisible Man (2020)

    Another film that's been done a time or two before, this version focuses
    on a woman who has run away from her abusive husband, who is an
    obsessive narcissist. But is also fantastically wealthy, having made a
    fortune in the field of optics and microscopic cameras.

    When she learns her husband has commited suicide, she finally comes out
    of hiding. But it seems her problems are only just beginning.

    Wierd things start happening at the house, as if theres someone in the
    room manipulating things. She gets drugged, her sister receives abusive
    emails from her, someone attacks her friends whilst they're there and
    she's constantly aware that someone is watching her when there's no one
    about.

    Seems her husband may not be dead after all and might be putting one of
    his latest inventions to good use.

    Whilst I've previously been critical of films like the Black Christmas
    remake, which deviated so greatly from the original source material they
    can barely be classed as remakes. This latest version of The Invisible
    Man is actually a good example of how to do a remake that is only
    loosely connected to the original, but still pretty damn good.

    There's a constantly tense atmosphere, as you just know he's about
    somewhere, but you never know where, or what he's going to do, which
    makes for gripping stuff.

    Definitely worth a watch.

    Was actually in my Top 10 of this year's films, but got edged out by a
    couple of more recent viewings.

    I assume you will be doing your usually yearly round up, or is that
    cancelled due to the lack of releases?

    The way things are at the moment, looks like that won't be happening.
    Mostly due to lack of new releases, but also because I've been busy with
    other projects, which hasn't left me time for much else.

    I'll probably slap a quick vid togethor, but again, doubtful it will be
    any sort of "best-of" round up unfortunately.
