The Invisible Man
As bang-up a movie as 2020’sThe unseeable Manwas , making a subsequence still would n’t be anything short of a mistake . One of the last major movies to be released prior to the Coronavirus pandemic and its result closure of field , Universal and Blumhouse’sThe Invisible Mancould be considered a loose remake of the original 1933 movie star Claude Rains . It could also be considered another version of H.G Wells ' 1897 book , but in reality , thisInvisible Manmerely hire that story ’s framework and used it to construct an almost entirely new tale of scourge .
aim by Leigh Whannell , who made his name on theSawandInsidiousfranchises , The unseeable ManstarsThe Handmaid ’s Tale ’s Elisabeth Moss as Cecilia , who commence the flick by escaping an abusive relationship with hercontrolling boyfriend , Adrian Griffin . It shortly come out that Adrian died by self-destruction after Cecilia left , but in this case , that would have been the preferred final result .

This invisibleness enable Adrian to pressure his way back into Cecilia ’s life , terrorize and gaslighting her and causing everyone in her sphere to believe she ’s just blend in delirious . In the end , Cecilia is able to call on the tabular array on Adrian , using his own invisibility technical school against him . It ’s a affecting , effective conclusion , one that bring what had been an intense story to a satisfying terminal . With the critical and commercial successThe Invisible Manhad , questions about a potential continuation continue to be ask , but it ’s the strength ofThe Invisible Man ’s endingthat rightfully makes anInvisible Man 2a bad estimation .
Hollywood ’s love of franchise means that a movie with a self - control cease with real finality is rare . Even an termination that appears to have tied up the vast majority of wanton ends , such asThe Invisible Man , runs the risk of being untie . While Cecilia is awake and retains monomania of Adrian ’s invisibleness courting , there ’s no real compelling reason to bring her or it back . Cecilia attains full , uncompromising victory over her tormentor in a means that earned cheers in theater . Now , she deserves to survive as felicitous and normal life as possible , free from the worked up shackles Adrian kept her locked in .
Thankfully , both Moss and Whannell seem to be aware that anInvisible Man 2isn’t necessary . When asked recently , Moss say that anInvisible Mansequel is n’t likelyto arrive anytime soon , if ever , although it has n’t been ruled out . That state , there ’s no reason Universal and executive manufacturer / star Elisabeth Banks should n’t keep moving forward on their plannedInvisible Womanspinoff or something else in a similar vein toInvisible Manas part of their burgeoning melody of definitive demon revival . Those could prove worthwhile in their own rightfield , but Cecilia ’s evacuant ending pauperism to stay untasted by a directInvisible Mansequel .
