With lethal events occurring around her, she must somehow prove she’s being stalked by a vicious, invisible man. Leigh Whannell directs this supernatural horror based on H. G. Wells’ novel of the same name, starring Golden Globe winner Elisabeth Moss (The Handmaid’s TaleThe KitchenMad Men), Oliver Jackson-Cohen (The Haunting of Hill HouseThe Healer) and Harriet Dyer (No ActivityThe Way We Weren’t).

In the dead of night, Cecilia (Elisabeth Moss) escapes her home and the clutches of her violent ex, Adrian (Oliver Jackson-Cohen). But he promises he’ll find her, wherever she goes, and she won’t even be able to see him.

Later, Cecilia is told that Adrian has killed himself and is leaving her $5 million. She can have this fortune so long as she can prove she is mentally stable. Yet, she feels Adrian has some tricks up his sleeve – some final manipulations from an abusive former partner.

Seeing signs that she is being stalked, and with violent coincidences unfolding, Cecilia suspects Adrian’s death was a hoax. Her vicious scientist ex may have found a way to turn himself invisible. But that sounds crazy, right? Somehow, she needs to prove her mad theory is a reality to stop him from making her life hell.

Whannell nicely flexes his horror-movie muscles.

it’s hard not to admire Whannell’s filmmaking boldness: turning our perennial fear of the unknown and the unseen into a wholly new nightmare.
