The Invisible Man!

[Doctor Jones]

This looks great. I love how this take looks and is very clever as a psychological horror thriller. I really want to see how the other monsters are done like this.

 

[psylockolussus]

It looks okay. Not sure if I'd watch it.

Which is the right way to do an Invisible Man film as far as I'm concerned.

 

[Zorro]

This actually looks good and interesting to me! I wasn't sure about it when I read the synopsis but yeah I dig it

 

[Lasirius]

Scored passes for an advanced test screening this upcoming Thursday. Pretty excited about it.

 

[Lasirius]

I haven't watched the trailer yet because Blumhouse trailers seem to spoil EVERYTHING but...

Yeah, Whannell's tweet is very accurate.

 

[MovieSlave]

How was it?

 

[Lasirius]

Can't say much but can confidently say Whannell is amongst the horror big shots with this one.

 

[DarthSkywalker]

I saw the trailer for this before Doctor Sleep. It looked awful to me.

 

[Erik20]

Yeah, Whannell's tweet is very accurate.

Good to know. I quit watching the trailer halfway through (I probably watched even less than that) because I thought I just spoiled the movie for myself. It seemed like I could figure out the entire storyline, but I guess not...

 

[jmc]

Interesting take on an old concept judging from the trailer.

 

[Mysteryman]

I'll watch anything with Elisabeth Moss, so I'm in.

Also, any "Memoirs of an Invisible Man" fans here? That's my favorite invisible man movie. Chevy Chase is great as a the smartass hero, Darryl Hannah is lovely and Sam Neill was perfect as the slimy government operative bad guy.

YES! I LOVED it!

 

[Deck Rickard]

YES! I LOVED it!

Sweet, glad to know I’m not alone in my love for that awesome movie!

I saw it a long time ago - and I didn’t think much of it.

My theory (which is mine )… It’s problematic to make “invisible man” the protagonist. Identifying with and relating to the hero is typically how we engage fiction. I.e., we can imagine ourselves being as cool as James Bond or as physically adept as Batman - because we can anchor our fantasies to a real, tangible character. But with an invisible hero, it’s rather less satisfying to identify with a floating cigarette or the other photographic trickery.

OTOH, “invisible man” as antagonist (essentially a malevolent spirit or ghost) seems a more natural fit for the material.

Relatedly… There’s a familiar, playful question: “If you could have any superpower, what would it be?” And while flight is a common choice, invisibility is also very popular. But on second thought, what could one do with invisibility that would be good or ethical? Whereas, mischievous - or even criminal - activities are quite easy to imagine.

The context of the scenes is missing in the trailer, it really doesn't spoil anything.

[jolldan]

Seen the trailer for this last night looks like it could be good.

 

[StarLord]

 

[terry78]

Very retro poster.

 

[Lasirius]

I'm very excited to see the finished film and see how it turns out. Will be there opening night.

 

[Asr]

Cautiously looking forward to this because of Leigh Whannell. As a writer he's been hit & miss, but Upgrade was pretty good for his first directing effort. Hoping he delivers again.

[Lasirius]

Good trailer, few scenes that were not included in the screening.

 

[Lasirius]

Currently 26 fresh out of a total of 29 on Rotten Tomatoes.

Looks like the first trailer for Candyman will be attached to this.

 

[KaijuDude1992]

Wow reviews for this are great so far. I didn't love Upgrade, but it's cool to see Leigh Whannell on a roll like this even though he's been in the horror game for a long time now. I'm just glad to see him making a name for himself just like Wan began to with Saw. Can't wait to see it this weekend.
