Invisible Man: Kevin Smith praises “tremendous” reboot

Last Updated on August 2, 2021

Blumhouse and SAW and INSIDIOUS writer Leigh Whannell's stellar reboot of THE INVISIBLE MAN with Elisabeth Moss (Jordan Peele's US) hit theatres this past Friday and scored a killer $29M opening. And today CLERKS and DOGMA director Kevin Smith took to Twitter to praise the flick.

Smith tweets:

I thought The Invisible Man was tremendous! Every step of the way, I was more & more impressed. Loved what caused invisibility but the reinvention of the story was so damn smart across the boards. Give awards to Elisabeth Moss now for what’s largely a one-woman show. Go see it!

While we await updates on a sequel, remember the original film sports a killer 90% on Rotten Tomatoes with a Critics Consensus that reads: "Smart, well-acted, and above all scary, The Invisible Man proves that sometimes, the classic source material for a fresh reboot can be hiding in plain sight."

It follows this synopsis:

What you can’t see can hurt you. Emmy winner Elisabeth Moss (Us, The Handmaid’s Tale) stars in a terrifying modern tale of obsession inspired by Universal’s classic monster character.  Trapped in a violent, controlling relationship with a wealthy and brilliant scientist, Cecilia Kass (Moss) escapes in the dead of night and disappears into hiding, aided by her sister (Harriet Dyer, NBC’s The InBetween), their childhood friend (Aldis Hodge, Straight Outta Compton) and his teenage daughter (Storm Reid, HBO’s Euphoria). But when Cecilia’s abusive ex (Oliver Jackson-Cohen, Netflix’s The Haunting of Hill House) commits suicide and leaves her a generous portion of his vast fortune, Cecilia suspects his death was a hoax. As a series of eerie coincidences turns lethal, threatening the lives of those she loves, Cecilia’s sanity begins to unravel as she desperately tries to prove that she is being hunted by someone nobody can see.
