Fear the Invisible Man

The costumes? The moment of time, The accent, Lots are revealed from a handwritten notes, the weather, the whole environment is very well done. But as both a cutting edge of becoming invisible and to just do a very impossible task by the invisible man to obtain his journals. Why? It cannot be shared by any means, there's only one single copy. I tried to detach myself from the present but I can't do it, So as I watched about halfway I started googling and I ended up letting the YouTube quickies play while I watched the movie. If I didn't get bored halfway I would have not allowed any distractions obviously but Freebies has got the most boring ads so there you go.

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.

Wow!, was this a borefest.

The movie's top focus is the Victorian era, trying its best to act as it belongs there, with the buildings, wardrobe, accents, even the weather.

The main issue, The Invisible Man is genuinely a side kick, that reappears every now and then as the lead character takes charge.

It is a bold move to call this Fear the Invisible Man, as for one, of course we can't see him and two, we don't really get to see him, hear him, follow his character arc. This is one of those movies that put an ex famous actor on the cover that makes a cameo and then leaves. Same thing here, the movie uses a good bait and waits to see what it got hooked.

And the difference between this and an Asylum production, is quite small really. But more than anything, I kid you not, it is truly, truly, boring. Almost nothing happens, because as I said before, the movie's focus is it's surroundings, not characters but dialogue, not people but old clothes, no story but something to fill up close to 2 hours.

Not recommended. Definitely and well I guess, literally, nothing to see here.

Cheers!

The movie throughout is pretty slow. But that is ok with me, I actually quite enjoyed a lot of the costumes, sets, and props around the movie. The acting for the most part was also very good. It must be difficult to act when in a empty room and talking to someone who isn't there but they pulled it off mostly. Also sometimes the voices were too low to hear over the audio, but most of the time they were alright.

I'm a very big fan of the original H. G. Wells book and I have always loved the original 1933 Invisible Man movie, and I will say after watching this, the 1933 movie is still my favorite and it's also the closest to the original source material of the book. It seems this movie tried to go with the book, but then immediately dropped it 5 minutes in. Which is okay.

I think I preferred this movie over the 2020 movie though. Overall I think a movie like this can work, and for the most part it almost does. What kills it, is that Kemp, the protagonist doesn't seem to have a reason to keep being around Griffin.

Speaking of Griffin, I do not care for the voice of him. The most important feature of the Invisible Man is the voice, Claude Rains is no longer with us, and to me he IS The Invisible Man. The voice in this movie just sounds off, and it sounds modified to be deeper than it really needs to be. Not sure if it is modified or if he just sounds like that.

Last thing is the CGI was pretty bad, I know this is a low budget film, but if you have bad CGI you should use less of it. The really noticeable parts were the 3rd time the same horse and carriage appeared, the rain, the fire, the snow/soup on The Invisible Man, and when Griffin becomes invisible/visible.

Also the ending is sequel bait...

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
