Kevin Bacon explains why fan-favorite slasher movies from the '70s and '80s are "narrow-minded morality tales" while promoting his new horror show.

Written and directed by modern genre icon Leigh Whannell, 2020's The Invisible Manwas the latest in a long line of adaptations of H. G. Wells' iconic 1897 novel of the same name. The film stars Moss as Cecilia Kass, an architect whose life is violently turned inside-out by her abusive ex-boyfriend,...

Despite The Invisible Man being a box office and critical hit that relaunched the Universal Monsters in a way the Dark Universe failed, director Leigh Whannell has no desire to make a sequel.

The Invisible Man opened in theaters on February 28, 2020, and despite only playing in theaters for three weeks before they shut down for nearly a year due to the Covid-19 pandemic, the movie managed to earn $144.5 million at the worldwide box office off of just a $7 million budget. With positive word of mouth from critics, Whannell became the go-to director to reimagine the classic Universal Monsters with a 21st-century spin, a trend he is continuing with Wolf Man.

Speaking with The Hollywood Reporter about the release of Wolf Man, Whannell was asked about the possibility of a sequel to 2020's The Invisible Man. Whannell acknowledges that Universal Pictures might want to produce more Invisible Man movies, but he...

Villains from Sci-Fi movies are often portrayed as highly intelligent. From world-destroying megalomaniacs to sadistic robots, they all have one thing in common; they're incredibly smart. Some Science Fiction movies are still mind-blowing today and are often different from other genres because, instead of just focusing on the conflicts within the main characters, they're able to place them into fantastical worlds or situations.

Therefore, when you have a villain who is hellbent on destroying the world or turning people to the dark side, they are often less predictable because their environments are fictional. That's why some of the best Sci-Fi villains are so compelling, as they're mysterious, and audiences are often not prepared for the harsh realities of their evil nature. Some villains exist in movies simply to be obstacles that get in the way of the hero. But the very best Sci-Fi villains are the ones with a well-thought-out,...

Turn a true auteur like Alfonso Cuarn loose on his first major TV project, and its no surprise audiences are eating up his Apple TV+ series Disclaimer. A slow burn of a show combining mystery, psychological thrills, and a complicated narrative, the five-time Oscar-winning director keeps ratcheting up the secrets and lies throughout. Disclaimer's all-star cast includes Cate Blanchett as journalist Catherine Ravenscroft, who learns shes the lead character in a new book that somehow exposes the darkest deed of her past.

As highlighted in the reviews for Disclaimer, the show plays with viewer expectations throughout, mixing truth and perception into a time-hopping story that doesnt reveal all of its cards until its final episode. Disclaimer cleverly dices up how personal biases, murky pasts, and even the modern media landscape shape how people view their own reality. Once audiences have digested all of Disclaimer's seven episodes and its shocking end,...

Leigh Whannell's 2020 update of The Invisible Man modernizes the classic H.G. Wells story in more ways than one, pitting Elizabeth Moss's Cecilia against her toxic, abusive boyfriend, who uses an invisible suit to continue to terrorize her after she leaves him. The film offers a vivid reflection of the present day, but it also sets the stage for the cyberpunk thriller Upgrade, which takes place 46 years in the future.

"Mad science" is a trope that runs through much of Whannell's filmography, connecting The Invisible Man's transparent villain to Upgrade's manipulative AI, and even extending to the Saw franchise -- though Jigsaw is more of a mechanic than a scientist. In all these films, technology is a monkey's paw that grants great power while opening the door to corruption. Adrian Griffin's (Oliver Jackson-Cohen) potential for evil is enhanced by his invisibility suit,...

Universal's Wolf Man reimagining promises tragic origin story for Christopher Abbott's Lawrence Talbot, emphasizing emotional depth and sympathy for the titular monster. Leigh Whannell's modern take on classic Universal Monsters like Invisible Man sets the tone for the Wolf Man reboot's faithful yet updated storytelling. The film's teaser at CinemaCon showcases the tragic family dynamic and the burden of the curse, hinting at a heartwrenching tale to come in 2025.

Universal Monsters The Wolf Man reimagining debuts its first footage from the film at CinemaCon, teasing a tragic origin for Christopher Abbott's take on the titular monster. Abbott will take on the role of Lawrence "Larry" Talbot, the poor soul who finds himself the recipient of the curse that turns him into a bloodthirsty killer at night. Wolf Man is directed by Leigh Whannell, co-creator of the Saw franchise who previously helmed the 2020 reboot of The Invisible Man,...

In John Carpenter’s horror classic The Thing, R.J. MacReady (Kurt Russell) somberly explains to his tape recorder, “Nobody trusts anybody now, and we’re all very tired.” The now iconic quote summarizes the exhaustive state of sustained paranoia induced by the shape-shifting, extraterrestrial threat that has infiltrated the ranks of an isolated Antarctic research station, seamlessly assuming the identities of its inhabitants.

Isolation, mistrust, and intense paranoia drive Carpenter’s classic 1982 horror movie, heightening the effectiveness of the horror to a tangible degree; and it’s far from the only horror movie to effectively wield paranoia like a sharp blade. This week’s streaming picks highlight intense horror movies that unfurl their unrelenting tension, disorienting distrust, and discomfort through a heavy emphasis on paranoia, whether internal or external.

Here’s where you can stream them this week.

One of the most recurring trends in Hollywood right now is the horror remake, and for better, or worse, it isn’t gonna disappear (pun intended) anytime soon. David Gordon Green’s The Exorcist remake may have been met with a geyser of pea soup from the mouths of critics and fans alike, but that isn’t slowing the trend down for the foreseeable future. The Halloween franchise has been picked up by Miramax with the intention of creating a TV series, and a possible cinematic universe, and that’s just hot off the heels of Halloween Ends, erm, ending the recent trilogy with somewhat of a whimper.

R-rated horror movies have the freedom to tap into audiences' deepest fears with unfettered gore, making the most of their rating to deliver intense and scary scenes. Some R-rated horror films go beyond relying on shock value and use creative freedom to enhance a well-crafted story, making the rating seem like the cherry on top. R-rated horror movies like "The Invisible Man," "Evil Dead Rise," and "The Ritual" effectively utilize the rating to create terrifying moments and bring unique elements to the genre.

The best R-rated horror movies make the most of their rating to deliver scary and intense scenes, from modern films like Smile to classics like Child's Play. R-rated films often have difficulty selling due to the barrier to entry, but the horror genre is a perfect match for the freedom of being able to tap into audiences' deepest fears with unfettered gore. Combine that with the fact...

The latest horror film to take audiences on an emotional roller coaster is Renfield (2023). Starring Nicholas Hoult as Renfield and Nicolas Cage as Dracula, this new stand-alone film works to tell a new tale of one of the most popular monsters from the Universal library.

Here, we break down arguments for why Universal should use this film as a means of bringing back the Monter-Verse, only better than ever before. The initial plans for the Monster-Verse (then known as the Dark Universe) got off to a rocky start, with The Mummy (2017) underperforming at the box office and being panned by critics and fans alike. This was followed by the much more respectable horror-thriller The Invisible Man (2020), a film that followed a more personal case of a woman stalked by her ex-boyfriend who had access to powerful technology. Despite the fervor surrounding this film, it was not enough to save the Dark Universe,...

In ways both great and unfortunate, Leigh Whannell's "The Invisible Man" was a perfect pre-covid-19 watch. Its protagonist, the indelible Cecilia Kass (Elizabeth Moss), is tormented by a camouflaged evil — one that infiltrates and corrupts every inch of the house she occupies, rendering her normal life meaningless. But the illness that Kass' ex, Adrian Griffin (Oliver Taylor-Cohen), represents is less pathogen than pathological; he is a gaslighter with psychotic tendencies, a man whose brilliance only bolsters his toxic, controlling impulses. He is any woman's worst nightmare, and is more frightening for how fully the toxic masculinity he represents permeates every facet of our society....

The post Horror movies to watch if you loved The Invisible Man appeared first on /Film.

Elisabeth Moss has racked up 12 Emmy, four Golden Globe and 15 Screen Actors Guild Awards bids to date — all for her TV work. Now, she can could reap her first Oscar nomination and has not one but two movies in contention, Universal’s “The Invisible Man” and Neon’s “Shirley.” She’ll be submitted in the Best Actress category for both of these. Below, I lay out why I hope to see voters cite her for the former.

Based loosely on H. G. Well‘s 1897 novel of the same name, “The Invisible Man” opens with Moss’ Cecilia Kass breaking free from her violent relationship with her diabolical boyfriend Adrian Griffin (Oliver Jackson-Cohen), a wicked optics engineer and businessman. Even after she is taken in by a friend who is on the police force, she continues to wrestle with the deleterious effects of the abuse, including a ceaseless fear that Adrian will find her.

Oliver Jackson-Cohen might play villainous roles like The Haunting of Bly Manor's Peter Quint and The Invisible Man's Adrian Griffin, but don't let those projects scare you away. The 33-year-old actor likes to break the tension with laughs on set and actually seeks out acting opportunities that

allow him to express his "sensitive" and "emotional" nature

. That's what made him such a compelling character when he portrayed Luke Crain in The Haunting of Hill House, which is where many fans fell in love with him for the first time.

He's certainly no sweetheart in these new Netflix episodes - Peter Quint is manipulative and terrifying - so if you need help separating the actor from the role, keep reading. We've rounded up a few of our favorite facts about Oliver that'll help you rest easy. For example, did you know he was originally set to play a totally opposite part in Bly Manor?...

There’s a simple answer to where you’ve seen most of 2020’s The Haunting of Bly Manor‘s cast before: in 2018’s The Haunting of Hill House. Writer-director Mike Flanagan has a resident company of actors with roles across several of his horror projects, as shown by the significant crossover between these two Netflix series alone. Victoria Pedretti, Oliver Jackson-Cohen, Henry Thomas and Katie Parker are just some of the familiar faces appearing in Flanagan’s new Henry James-inspired spooky series Bly Manor. And here’s what else this bunch is known for on screen.

Henry Thomas – Henry Wingrave

Thomas’ most famous role came at the age of 10 when he played young lead Elliott in Steven Spielberg’s 1982 blockbuster E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial (see his terrific audition tape here). In recent years, Thomas has been a frequent collaborator with writer-director Mike Flanagan, playing the young Hugh Crain, father...

2020's remake of the classic Universal horror movie The Invisible Man is a story of domestic abuse, toxic masculinity, and survival. The power of the film rests with Elisabeth Moss's highly acclaimed performance as Cecilia Kass, the girlfriend of possessive optics engineer and all around monster Adrian Griffin.

When Cecilia finally hatches a plan to escape her oppressive relationship, Adrian retaliates by faking his death and then using his own invisibility suit to stalk her. Adrian's home, which feels like a prison for Cecilia, features prominently in the film. There are a plethora of hidden details about Adrian's home that even the sharpest fans of the new The Invisible Man may have missed - 10 of which have been listed here.

To say there has been volatility around the 2020 movie release calendar is an understatement. As justifiable anxiety and caution around the coronavirus pandemic grows, a number of intriguing films scheduled for March, April, and May have been delayed to dates unseen (or into 2021). Many others, meanwhile, have been moved to VOD as our definition of what a “new release is” changes.

Be that as it may, February was an unusually strong beginning to the cinematic year, and assuming the rest of the calendar holds, there is plenty still to look forward to–including Mulan and A Quiet Place Part II if those manage to stay in 2020. So wash your hands for at least 20 seconds and then join us in looking at the best movies that have come out so far this year, and what is still coming.

Last week saw the release of The Invisible Man, a contemporary reimagining of the 1933 film, itself based on the novel by H.G. Wells. Elisabeth Moss stars as Cecilia Kass, a woman whose abusive and controlling boyfriend Adrian Griffin (The Haunting of Hill House's Oliver Jackson-Cohen) commits suicide, leaving her his home and vast fortune. However, Cecilia soon finds herself tormented by a presence that she can't see, and begins to wonder whether Adrian is truly dead or not.

The film is far from the first attempt to reintroduce the classic Universal Monster characters to a new generation; Universal tried to create a shared universe with these characters starting with 2017's The Mummy. When that film bombed with critics and at the box office, the studio decided to scrap those plans and go the stand-alone route with these characters,...

Over the last weekend, an eerie thing happened at the box office: Leigh Whannell and Blumhouse Productions’ The Invisible Man brought the Universal Monsters legacy back with a vengeance. Over-performing with a monstrous box office bow of $29 million in the U.S. alone, the horror reimagining of the H.G. Wells novel (and James Whale’s 1933 film) more than quadrupled its $7 million budget in only three days.

This is of course good news about a good horror movie, one of the best in a while with its panic attack-inducing allegory about a woman being gaslighted by an abusive ex. But it’s also rather miraculous news for the Universal Monsters label, which has by and large languished in the 21st century despite multiple attempts to resurrect it from the dead. Indeed, just three years after the Dark Universe was embarrassingly put out to pasture following The Mummy’s disastrous June 2017 debut,...

The Invisible Man’s Oliver Jackson-Cohen is finally revealing the particulars of what he shot as the film’s titular character. Despite appearing in only a handful of scenes as Adrian Griffin — the abusive and deceased partner of Elisabeth Moss’ Cecilia Kass — the British actor was still on set for the majority of production in Sydney, Australia. However, when asked about his involvement in scenes with The Invisible Man, Jackson-Cohen had to keep a lid on the specifics throughout the film’s recent press tour.

As it turns out,...

Writer-Director Leigh Whannell's "The Invisible Man" is a science-fiction horror thriller. It is contemporary, relevant and a completely reinvented adaptation of Hg Wells' novel of the same name and a reboot of "The Invisible Man" film series.

The narrative begins on an unsteady note. In the dead of the night, a petrified Cecilia Kass (Elisabeth Moss), suffering from Ptsd, stealthily escapes the prison-like complex where she lives with her husband Adrian Griffin (Oliver Jackson-Cohen), a brilliant scientist and wealthy tech entrepreneur.

Heading to nearby San Francisco, Cecilia counts on her sister Emily Kass (Harriet Dyer) and their childhood friend James (Aldis Hodge) for support.

In fact, she temporarily puts up with James and his teen daughter Sydney (Storm Reid) where she confides in them, that she was in a coercive relationship with her husband, who was in total control of everything, of what she said or thought, and hence her desperate need to escape.

Recalling the classic movie monsters of Hollywood’s Golden Age, visions of those hardworking actors suffering through hours of cumbersome, often restrictive make-ups spring to mind. Ah, but one didn’t occupy “make-up marvel” Jack Pierce’s “barbershop” chair. Why? Because he wasn’t “there”, aside from a wig, bandages, dark sunglasses, and hard molded rubber nose. Springing from the imagination of celebrated science fiction/fantasy author H.G. Wells in 1897, “The Invisible Man” joined Universal’s “gallery of the ghoulish” in James Whale’s 1933 classic. And, as a twist on the old saying goes, you can’t keep a good “creep” down. The unseen fiend returned with four follow-ups in the 1940s before Abbott and Costello met him in 1951, as TV beckoned. At least four action/adventure series began in 1958. But the movies weren’t done with the “concept”. It was mined for laughs in 1983’s The Man Who Wasn’T There...

Freedom. That’s what Cecilia Kass finally achieves during the last moments of Leigh Whannell’s The Invisible Man. With her face isolated in an extreme close-up, there is nowhere for audiences to look other than into the heart of Elisabeth Moss’ eviscerating performance. Here is a woman who had been victimized by an abusive boyfriend but has now turned the tables, emancipating herself from Adrian Griffin (Oliver Jackson-Cohen). With her dog at last in tow, she can begin her life as the hero of her own story.

Cecilia reached this liberation through the most delicious of final twists. After it was revealed that Adrian’s brother Tom (Michael Dorman) was allegedly the...

Leigh Whannell’s The Invisible Man confirms multiple, evident truths. For starters, Universal’s slate of classic monsters isn’t destined for only failed reboots and doomed cinematic worlds. Whannell, while modernizing an unseeable villain, doubles-down on his ability to thrive within Blumhouse’s tight-wallet model. Movies like The Mummy and The Wolfman benefit from healthier studio investment, yet Whannell’s 2020 “shoestring” comparison won’t likewise vanish into obscurity. H.G. Wells’ creation gets a technological makeover with social urgency at its core, ever the chilling representation of in-your-face horrors despite methods that erase terror from plain sight.

Balk not, dear reader. Dread is always looming, lurking, in a triggered adaptation that understands (enough) how we sometimes fail those victims strong enough to speak up for themselves.

The cast of The Invisible Man discuss acting against against a character that isn’t there.

The Invisible Man is an update of the classic tale penned more than 100 years ago by pioneering science fiction writer H.G. Wells, and most memorably brought to the screen before this by director James Whale in 1933. In the new version from writer/director Leigh Whannell (Upgrade), the central character of Cecilia Kass (Elisabeth Moss) has just escaped from an abusive relationship at the hands of the narcissistic and sociopathic Adrian Griffin (Oliver Jackson-Cohen).

Even though Adrian apparently commits suicide following Cecilia’s escape, she soon begins to suspect that her former lover--who was doing groundbreaking work in optic technology before his alleged death--is still alive and has found a way to make himself invisible. Unseen by all, he starts a campaign to methodically destroy the life that Cecilia is just starting...

Finding the next great horror movie within a classic Universal monster? Especially after the quick collapse of the Dark Universe, that wouldn’t have seemed incredibly likely, even just a year or so ago. However, in Blumhouse we trust. In the hands of filmmaker Leigh Whannell and producer Jason Blum, The Invisible Man manages to surprise in all of the best ways. Notably, Whannell not just makes this a timely tale about believing women, he employs one of the best actresses in the business with Elisabeth Moss. That choice alone goes a long way, but almost every single element here works far better than expected. In fact, this may well be the best film of the year so far. Without question, it’s in the top two or three, representing the next fright flick that should not only be a huge hit, but deserves awards attention as well. This film...

The last time Universal tried to reinvent its classic monster series, it came up with 2017’s The Mummy, starring Tom Cruise, who probably wished his face was covered in bandages to disguise his participation. But hold off on the doomsaying regarding the studio’s “Dark Universe” reboot. Leigh Whannell’s The Invisible Man is The Australian writer-director co-created the Saw and Insidious franchises with James Wan; proved he had real directing chops with 2018’s Upgrade, a futuristic action thriller that went beyond the call of genre duty. He doesn’t...

The old Universal Horror movies didn’t get much better than James Whale’s “The Invisible Man,” a cackling madman of a film, which followed the horrible misadventures of a scientist who turned himself invisible and wreaked havoc on the world, mostly because he could.

It’s wicked, it’s fun, and in many respects it’s the polar opposite of Leigh Whannell’s absolutely terrifying new reboot, a movie that cares a hell of a lot more about the title villain’s victims than it does about the old invisible bastard.

Whannell’s fiendish reinterpretation of H.G. Wells’ original story casts Elizabeth Moss as Cecilia Kass, a woman who flees her rich, abusive boyfriend at the beginning of the film, and suffers from paranoia and agoraphobia as she struggles to reclaim her life. The only way Cecilia believes Adrian Griffin will ever let her go is if he’s dead,...

In the very first few moments of The Invisible Man (2020), without any exposition or any sort of narrative cues, Leigh Whannell manages to ratchet up the tension to unbearable levels in such a beautifully simplistic way, that I couldn’t help but be in awe of just how effortlessly he had managed to bring us right into the tormented world of Cecilia Kass (Elisabeth Moss), as she desperately attempts to flee her oppressively cruel boyfriend, Adrian Griffin (Oliver Jackson-Cohen), who has cut her off from the rest of the world. Cecilia manages to break free of Adrian and his abuse, but that’s only the beginning of the horrors that await Cecilia as she tries to put the pieces of her life back together here.

Cecilia’s journey takes an abrupt turn when she learns that Adrian has inexplicably killed himself, and left her a hefty portion of his fortune.

Back Lot Music has digitally released the Original Motion Picture Soundtrack to Universal Pictures’ The Invisible Man, a Blumhouse/Goalpost production directed by Leigh Whannell from his screenplay and screen story. The film’s original score is by Grammy® and Golden Globe-nominated composer Benjamin Wallfisch. A vinyl release will be available March 4 through Mondo featuring two 180g discs housed inside a gatefold sleeve and an etching on side 4. The Invisible Man will be theatrically released in the U.S. on February 28th.

Starring Emmy Award winner Elisabeth Moss (The Handmaid’s Tale), The Invisible Man is 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. But when Cecilia’s abusive ex, Adrian Griffin, commits suicide and leaves her a generous portion of his vast fortune,...

The Dark Universe may be dead in the water after the disastrous flop of The Mummy, but Universal and Blumhouse Productions have taken a different and more clever approach to their IPs by letting their various monsters star in their own features, untethered to any cinematic universe. With the vast technological advancements of the 21st century, The Invisible Man is an apropos place to start as can be seen in the first trailer for the creature feature, once again adapting H.G. Wells classic story.

Evoking works such as Gaslight and director Leigh Whannell’s previous feature Upgrade, this reinterpretation of The Invisible Man shifts the focus from the titular character to the victim of his abuse, Cecilia (Elisabeth Moss). After Cecilia’s ex-boyfriend Adrian Griffin (Oliver Jackson-Cohen) commits suicide and leaves her a fortune, she suspects there is more to his death after she finds herself seemingly haunted by an...

Elisabeth Moss has been in talks to star in the Universal-Blumhouse reboot of The Invisible Man for a bit, and they have finally solidified her involvement. There is no plot yet available, and no one else cast in the film so far, However it was previously rumored that Armie Hammer (Man From U.N.C.L.E.) and Alexander Skarsgard (Tarzan) are up for the male lead.

We do know that this will be a reboot of the original 1933 film, and many of the films and series since then, which were all based on the 1897 H.G. Wells novel. We will have to see how much this new film pulls from the other iterations, but with Moss on the screen, we know they are right on in their casting so far.

It was also previously revealed that the lead male role in the story is named Adrian Griffin, who is...

Universal Pictures is on the verge of launching a whole new series of films based on their classic monster franchises. This is all going to start with The Invisible Man, and today we have some new details to share with you involving the story and the possible cast.

It was already reported that Elisabeth Moss was up for the female lead and now we’ve learned from That Hashtag Show that Armie Hammer (Man From U.N.C.L.E.) and Alexander Skarsgard (Tarzan) are up for the male lead.

The also revealed some interesting new story details regarding the film. The lead male role in the story is named Adrian Griffin, who is described as “a billionaire sociopath who made his money by developing an invisibility suit for the Department of Defense.” Moss will take on the role of a character named Cecilia Kass.

I assume the development of...

It was just a few weeks ago that Armie Hammer denied the rumor that he was in final talks to be the next Batman, making it tempting to approach any fresh reports of similar news with a little more skepticism than usual. Still, That Hashtag Show has a better track record than most for these things, so when they say that the Call Me by Your Name star is one of the top choices for the title role of The Invisible Man, there’s a good chance that the claim has some basis.

Specifically, it’s said that the two current frontrunners for the part are Hammer and True Blood star Alexander Skarsgård. According to the recent report, the role that each actor is gunning for is that of Adrian Griffin – an obvious nod to Dr. Griffin from the original H. G. Wells novel. This “billionaire sociopath” is said have...
