Fear the Invisible Man

As someone who loves England and loves movies from England in general this movie is not bad like I've seen some movies I like the Victoria Zodiac it's okay it's not super boring it's not super bad or anything. I personally think it's pretty good for what it is and I would love to see more because I love anything to do with English history, so I thought this movie is pretty good. I'm only 12 minutes in and so far I looked like what I'm watching

I will update date this review when I finish the movie so far. I love the writing. The British accent are absolutely lovely sounding

After the fantastic opening scene this quickly descends into total boredom. The first issue I noticed was that the dialogue quality was pretty terrible, especially for the invisible man which sounded like it was recorded in the bathroom and not at the location. The voice acting was good though. In fact overall I had no problem with the acting overall. The effects are 10% incredible, 50% adequate and 40% a bit of a mess. There are some minor plot holes and nonsensical character motivations like almost everything the detective does. The production quality is mostly very good, the locations and costumes are really excellent and the cinematography is faultless, if a little uninspired. Technically the only issue is the awful dialogue quality and some of the ADR is probably the worst I have ever heard in anything ever. The real issues that make this film so bad is that it lacks atmosphere and it's really boring. After the start nothing happens. Even the ending is a non-event. I'll end by comparing this to some other films: For similar story but with good pacing and characters watch Hollow Man (2000), for great practical effects and relatability watch The Entity (1982), for great atmosphere and mystery watch The Others (2001) and for a character driven story watch The Invisible Man (2020).

Boring boring boring!!! Struggled my way through this! As a massive fan of hollow man with kevin bacon I was really looking forward to this movie looking at some of the other reviews which were hit and miss...however this is Invisible man on a budget, the production and the direction is awful, when the 'Invisible man ' is in the same shot as other characters, it sounds like he's in a completely different room...like a sound booth! The special effects are at most average, The movie is well over acted....some of the character's accents sound extremely forced. Extremely poor throughout. Would give this a wide birth.

Firstly, I never completely tear down small budget independent movies like this as it's hard to get movies financed, cast and made.

That being said, this Is very poor fair. Considering it is an invisible man movie it could and should have been fairly watchable at the very least. However, the plot is boring, the dialogue laughable, the acting for the most part is historically bad, the direction is talentless, the editing is practically non existent, it's like they just shot what was needed and cobbled it together with sticky tape.

There are a couple of parts that are passable. Mhairi Calvey is ok in the lead and some of the effects are ok considering the budget.

Shame Really, could have been so much better.

Needless to say that I had actually never heard about this 2023 thriller titled "Fear the Invisible Man" prior to sitting down to watch it. And I had no idea what I was in for here, so I have to admit that I wasn't really harboring much of any expectations. Which, in turn, meant that director Paul Dudbridge had every opportunity to impress and entertain me.

However, the storyline in "Fear the Invisible Man", as written by Philip Daay, Helena Gergelova and Monika Gergelova was sort of mundane, bland and rather uneventful. And for a thriller, that doesn't exactly spell top notch entertainment. The movie was sort of lacking a drive, and it felt like director Paul Dudbridge was just filming the thing whilst still in neutral gear.

Yet, I still managed to sit through all 100 minutes that the movie ran for, though I have to say that I was not really particularly entertained by what transpired on the screen.

I wasn't familiar with the cast ensemble, except for actor David Hayman (playing Wicksteed), and he was barely in the movie at all. The acting performances in the movie were actually fair enough, despite the fact that the actors and actresses had surprisingly little to work with in terms of script, dialogue and characters.

Visually, however, then I will say that the CGI effects in the movie were actually surprising good for a movie of this type. And while the movie didn't make a lot of use of special effects, whatever effects were there were actually helping to make the movie a bit more interesting.

"Fear the Invisible Man" is not a movie that I will ever return to watch a second time, as there was hardly sufficient contents to support this first viewing. Nor is it a movie that I will recommend to fans of the thriller genre.

My rating of "Fear the Invisible Man" lands on a three out of ten stars.
