So this is how you take a well-worn idea and make it fresh for a modern audience: shift the focus from the titular character to a female protagonist, in this case an abused wife, and explore not only her mental health but the reactions of those around her. This film is held together by an absolute tour-de-force performance from Elisabeth Moss, but it also hugely engaging in its Hitchcockian story-telling and often inventive direction. With interesting implementation of the core idea and a couple of decent twists in the final act, The Invisible Man is a worthwhile update/adaptation of a classic story.
