The worst part of this movie is coming back home satisfied by the experience, telling people you just saw The Invisible Man, then immediately being asked how I saw him.
@@nataliealphonse4634 used his own brilliance against him. That’s the will of a woman when she’s been hurt and beaten she loses it and then frees herself the only way she knew, he was always going to find her. Trust me every abused women wants to know her abuser will never find her.
Not only was there invisibility in the guy himself, but a lot of abusers are invisible to the public because the only person who sees them is the victim (s)
@@Simplykiebby it’s ok. I survived and I stronger. This movie is what makes all women of domestic narcissistic abuse empowers us to stay strong and escaping is a reality.
3 things I noticed while watching this: 1) When Cindy pepper sprays the invisible man, he stumbled back into the dresser and she (presumably) ran past him. But then, she's clotheslined in the hall, which would mean someone was in front of her. So I really think both brothers were there at first, then Adrien dipped out to leave and let Tom take the fall. 2) Cindy is wearing jellyfish pjs, which Cece had compared Tom to earlier, foreshadowing that it was him in the house. 3) When Adrian is the invisible man, he's quick and efficient with the guards. But the one that beats up James takes his time just to be brutal, another hint that this was Tom.
One of the greatest and most satisfying endings I've seen in a horror flick lately. I love the irony of having the invisible suit used against Adrian himself.
I honestly love the way Ceci’s sister dies the moment of horror and realisation that her sister was telling the truth is my favourite moment in the movie
I agree. My favorite in my opinion because it left Cece hopeless when the one person who was starting to believe her gets killed off. Shows how Adrian really does take away all of her options in the movie
I love how the background of the phone Ceci finds is a very quick foreshadow to how the suit looks. Edit: Half these comments are asking me how I commented before this video game out. Guys. Pateron exists.
This movie is one of the first movies where I felt the protagonist wasn't making stupid decisions for the whole movie. She was always coming up with inventive ways of trying to prove her hysteria and set traps for him.
@@rosestar1324 Because she would have no proof it was someone else that put that phone in the attic. It would have probably been only her prints on it, which would have made her look crazier.
@@Vxylon It is very easy to set up a tripod for the phone to be put on. There is a timer on it as well which could have been set to record by her. So, again no proof and still makes her look guilty.
@@Vxylon Not everything was explained in the movie. I would be here for several weeks if I went back and watched it to see what could and could not be explained. You will just have to use your imagination for the explanation. Sorry, I do not have all the answers.
@@rosestar1324 she was attacked by the invisible man in the kitchen right after that attick scene and she leave for Adrian's and her old house where she found the 2nd invisible suit again before being attacked by the invisible man. She was given little to no time to tell everything to her sis Emily but was put in the Psychiatry ward for murder and mental breakdown.
I also love how if you listen closely to the scenes where the camera pans to an empty spot, you can hear the mechanics of the invisible suit, masterfully hinting at the fact that Adrian is always watching
so basically, he invests millions of dollars into an ocular suit so he can become invisible. then he dies from it in the end. i guess you could say he didn’t see that coming
The movie truly lived up to the theme of a psychological thriller. Its absolutely terrifying and the paranoia is felt through every scene. It truly is a masterpiece of its genre
@@user-uj2cq6rd8n You shouldn't be afraid of an Ai, it only does what it's been told to. What I was trained for with sample data. Fear those who have an agenda that made this ai. Let's stick to reality life is not a movie an AI isn't going to "go rouge".
One thing to notice is that he served Cici Sushi when trying to reconcile with her. You're not supposed to eat Sushi while pregnant, showing he doesn't actually care about the baby. He just wants it as a tool to control her.
If he were smart he wouldn't have offered steak either bc those usually require knives. Then again he never thought she'd retaliate against him. His arrogance pretty much got him killed
I love the themes in this movie. While watching for the first time, my husband asked me if I thought there was really an invisible man or if the movie was about Cecilia going crazy. There were times early on when I considered it, but her conviction and some of her points about Adrian’s behavior convinced me for the rest of the movie and I was proven right. Some of the scenes were so anxiety inducing and it’s really all you could want from a horror movie. One of the best I’ve seen in a while!
@@TheCoolCucumber That’s a good point. They definitely could have left it more ambiguous in the trailers, then the audience would be figuring it out along with the main character instead of already knowing what was going on. Honestly I feel like that’s been a problem with trailers. They either misrepresent what the movie is or they give away too much of the plot. Like they try so hard to make the movie seem interesting that they give away a twist or something
His suit is still kind of futurey for me, but more realistic than taking a piss in a bottle, throwing some paint in it and some water and calling it a ''Magic Invisibility Potion''. Also, the fact that his suit didn't get harmed by water or paint or other liquids thrown at him was kinda strange. It seems like alot of technology going on in it that doesn't leave space for proper liquid protection. So that too is kinda unrealistic for me.
The opening scene of this movie is the definition of how to write a good screenplay. No dialogue at all but you are given so much information about the characters and circumstances. Not to mention the tension building was well crafted which led to actually good jump scares.
you can just see how smart and careful cece is from the medicine to walking like she was on eggshells, and how controlling adrian was to having his hand on her hip to all the cameras placed around. that's just seriously amazing.
In the dinner scene at the end you can see that it’s sushi and wine, two big things that can kill a baby if it’s still in the uterus. This shows that Adrian is trying to kill the baby and doesn’t want or care about
That, or he doesn't care enough to do research on what you can't eat (or eat a lot of) while pregnant. I've always interpreted it as giving Cecilia the illusion of choice, but still limiting her to what _he_ wants.
@@smoothyoda3581 Yep! Sushi, especially the kind w/ fish in it, is unhealthy for children in utero, and wine contains alcohol, which is also unhealthy for a fetus.
@@fandomcringebucket I’d think he would know given that he controlled her diet when they were together and a kid would be an easy weapon for him to use against her
The Invisible Man 1930: A Universal Horror Classic that was ahead of its time The Invisible Man 2020: When a classic meets Modern Technology, A remake done to great effect
@@groofay exactly! This is what being a remake is. Most remakes throughout cinema history are mostly just rehashes or just making a colored version of a B&W film. We need more like this.
@Miguel Messina he's said before remakes need to do something different to warrant them cause if they were to do the same thing as the original you could just go watch the better version. So I wouldn't expect him to dislike a movie just cause it used a different method for it's plot device if that were the case he would have hated my bloody valentine remake which he was ok with.
Emily's death was so surprising to me. I had to pause the movie when I saw it because of how taken aback I was. I honestly expected her to live throughout most if not all of the movie since she was established as the first person to rescue and be there for CC. The public atmosphere, Emily actually starting to believe CC's story (or at least listening to it), all made me feel safe enough to let my guard down. Then we see the floating knife and not 2 seconds later Emily's throat is slit and she dies. The scene is so well done and the more I think about it the more it makes sense that Emily is the first person Adrian would kill, since Emily was the first to get CC away from him.
same. at first i didn't realize what happened, then my dad replayed the scene and for the rest of the night i was panicking because it terrified me so much
That moment you realize that killing Emily wasn't just to punish/gaslight CC, but also Adrian getting revenge on the person that helped her escape from him.
Dont you hate those scenes where someone is in a rush and breathing heavy they hop into a car very quickly and the driver goes "so tell me your life story, are you ok I feel like you have time to talk by the way you so quickly got into my car".
"You seem hurt. I definately shouldn't take you to a hospital in the most direct way possible. Instead I should take this dark road that I have never seen before and waste a lot of time. Is that a tall man that looks very insane and has a big bloody axe with him? I should talk to him too, he seems like he is friendly and open to conversations and not like a serial murderer or anything standing like that covored in blood out here in the middle of these woods. Oh God, who would have guessed he wanted to kill you and now is in the proccess of killing me, I definately couldn't guess.''
@@TheKatera4a plot twist it was a butcher that had to use a axe to cut a deer and the bloods deer blood he chased the lady trying to give her back her car keys and the lady tripped on the ground accidentally wounding herself
Yes same! The scene where she gets in her sisters car and tells her to drive. He is literally punching the window and the sister goes "whats going on" ... like god damn woman just drive... talk later
Its even more odd because the sister knew to come which means that she had been told Cecilia so the sister had to have been somewhat aware of the situation, so why the hell when you see you sister running to the car out of breath would you not immediately give the accelerator a good squeeze, Like your coming over in the middle of the night to pick up your sister, even if cecilia hadnt told the sister about adrian's abuse (which i do sort of doubt) you must still find the whole prospect a bit odd but bells should be going off in your head why shes asking you to do it so late to avoid him... then she comes running out of the darkness and then so does he, the minute has was coming full speed she should have floored it, though i will say the punching the window out seems a little odd, ive seen car windows take bricks and not break but a bro mans punch shatters the thing... yea ok... sure.
Invisible man is an absolute masterpiece. Fantastic acting, well paced plot, depth to the plot and character development, hard hitting action and constant surprises. Very refreshing and disturbing film.
The crazy thing is I was literally watching this movie last night and couldn’t remember if he’d done a kill count yet because I wanted to know how he would count Cece’s escape scene. This movie slaps so hard, almost as hard as James.
“That’s the furthest you’ve gone since you’ve been here, okay? So as far as I’m concerned you just walked on the moon” I’ve never needed to hear that more than now wtf it’s so sweet and supportive
As a person with an anxiety disorder, I get that feeling of dread, doing something as simple as walking outside to get the mail. Hearing that quote made me feel genuinely better about myself
Fun fact: A young Elisabeth Moss played Kimmy Ventrix in Batman the Animated Series, the daughter of a criminal who used an invisible suit to get around a restraining order against him by Kimmy’s mother!
this movie is prolly one of the most well made horror movies that really facinates me. The fact that it had abuse theme (where some don't have the guts to delve into), excellent cinematography and stunning twists. It doesnt rely on mainstream jumpscares and mostly catches you off guard when you feel like you know whats going to happen. Not to mention the ending felt strangely empowering. And oliver looks so fine in that green suit too.
@@ilovepicklesandonion as a former victim of abuse (physically and verbally with abundance of gaslighting) these kind of movies with this theme makes me mildly uncomfortable. But the unsettling silence throughout the film kept me hooked and stimulated like a rollercoaster. And the ending was damn satisfying, it's like throwing a punch to those who tormented you before freedom.
@ you took it wrong, i am in no way praising abuse. All im saying is that its a topic not everyone is brave to discuss about. And hollywood is actually sexist to both sides lmao. And if were gonna be truly honest, some people are just nuts and safistic they do nonsense shit just to inflict pain to others
The Invisible Man 1930: A Universal Horror Classic that was ahead of its time The Invisible Man 2020: When a classic meets Modern Technology, A remake done to great effect
I loved this movie, I felt uncomfortable and on edge the entire film until the ending, and that's how it should be. And that restaurant scene... that's the most a movie has shocked me in a very long time.
My dad and I were looking for a movie to watch together and came across this one. As a massive horror movie fan I had such low expectations due to the basic horror movies we usually get these days. Not only did this movie completely blow my expectations away but my dad and I were on the edge of the couch totally invested in the characters after the first 15 minutes. The invisible man was an emotional rollercoaster that had my full attention. Literally a masterpiece.
This movie was my favourite of 2020 so far, such an incredibly shot movie. The shots where the camera pans from Cecilia to what is seemingly and empty frame? and you are wondering if it's not empty. Several times earlier in the movie I questioned myself to whether or not there really was an invisible man... Really expertly directed.
Leigh Whannell is probably my favorite movie writer and one of my favorite directors. I mean; Saw, Upgrade, and now this? Insidious was pretty good too but I didn't think it was as good as the others mentioned. Shame I read some people didn't watch this movie because they thought "the trailer spoiled everything".
Honestly that just sucks. For over 10 years that's been an annoying cliche. Take some old classic and modernize it. Bat cave? More like bat cube. Supernatural? nah it's super science. Don't ask how some random old guy with zero budget on his own managed to make one of the most revolutionary feats of biological engineering that would require at least 2 ground breaking theorems to be discovered to even be theorized possible that no government or company is even close to doing. How did he hack my life and got access to everything in my town? Oh he just created a quantum computer in his basement somehow.
@@magnusm4To be fair though The Invisible Man got a modern re adaptation in the 2000’s called Hollow Man with Kevin Bacon as the titular character. In that movie they stuck with the “serum” aspect of Wells’ original story that’s injected into the body and an antidote that’s administered the same way.
"OPEN LETTER" TO JAMES. A. JANISSE: Regarding your uploaded-segments that I have seen thus far, you continuously impress me with your wit, your writing, footage-editing, jokes, acting- skills, and--particularly--your loving attention to detail that "subtly" pronounces itself within your background designs, as well as within your own symmetrical fashion-choices. For example, the polka-dotted design of your shirt within this segment, being aligned to the geometric-design of lens-placements within the film's ocular-suit. It is--truly--inspiring to find evidence that the quality-focused who are creative kindred-spirits can--STILL--succeed; within this world. Thank-you.
@Mason Bellegarde lots of youtubers dont edit their own videos, and anyway, James spends hours frame-by-frame kill counting, watching through horror movies, and researching about the actors and movie the video is about.
far as i know Karyn Kusama is in talks for Dracula and there are vague plans from the before times to start a whole universe because TIM was so successful.
2:52 I hated how her sister was asking her what’s going on like she couldn’t put it together that her sister told her to pick her up in the middle of the night while her husband is chasing her and as she’s begging her to go she’s just like what’s going on.
Thing is I think I believe it? A lot of the way this movie works isn't just an exploration for how abusers work but how bystanders treat the abused. Her sister is the type of person to want to have everything explained and understood before she actually does anything to help someone, and that's exactly the sorta person you run into all the time if you're trying to get out of an abusive relationship.
@@Exarian Yeah. I mean, you're being told to go to a friend's house to pick them up in the middle of the night. Reasonably, it wouldn't be wrong to ask a few questions before driving away. Neither became you drove away or someone slammed themselves into the car.
I really like the symbolic messages in this movie that is about a toxic and abusive relationship. How that relationship haunts you and harms you. It follows you and can ruin your life and while you can see that, other people won't have any idea about it, they won't see it...it's invisible to them. Or maybe im looking too far into it lmao, i give this movie a light to decent 8.
there’s no way you’re looking too deep into it. that paranoia is something i think victims of abuse will suffer for a long time, and it’s definitely an overarching theme throughout the movie.
I agree, I would like to listen some analysis of how we didn't see much about Cecilia's life cause all her life was about Adrian and his abusive relationship.
As someone who was in an abusive relationship at one dark point in my life, I can honestly say this movie did a FANTASTIC job portraying the paranoia and anxiety of a victim. My abusive ex-boyfriend used to attempt to- and twice successfully -break into my house “just to talk” even after we broke up. Once I filed a restraining order, I couldn’t shake the feeling that he was going to come back after he said “he’d make my life Hell if I called the police.” I KNEW he wouldn’t, but in my irrationally scared brain it was always possible. My roommates and I chose to replace the sliding glass door to the back porch with doors with a deadbolt, and we bought blinds for the windows, which I could never have open in fear that he’d be there, looking in. The scene where she walked to the mailbox alone and her friend was like “You walked on the moon.” hit hard because for the longest time, I could barely let the dog out without knowing someone I trusted could see me if he were to show up. Those panning shots and wide angles that have you looking for any trace of the invisible man? Yeah, that’s exactly what I felt walking through my own home. You get this weird hyperawareness after a bad situation like that, and I think this movie demonstrated this very, very well.
i love how this movie took the worn out "mad scientist" troupe and instead made Griffin into an asshole abusive billionaire, something that i think is way more impactful in current times
and relatable. Jerk billionaires abuse me all the time. Just yesterday Bill Gates gave me the finger for no reason, and Elon Musk threw a cup at my head the day before.
Dont read the book then. 😐. This is a vintage rewriting of an existing property and turn it into a Social justice warrior narrative Movie. Kinda like EVERY MODERN MOVIE does.
@@gggamer3851 ... Calm down, have some dip. It's a movie with a female lead, no SJW stuff in this, just an invisible suit and some pretty good suspense.
@@thebluebadazztm9697 if you dont like the troupe in a book and movie your remaking. Dont remake it. Give this The movie title "The invisible suit". Because it's not "Invisible Man". Its a SJW story based on Metoo and toxic masculinity. It only stole the name.
@@gggamer3851 Bit ironic how so many of these anti-SJW types get disproportionately triggered over specific themes and plot elements and then make asinine statements in an attempt to appear knowledgeable. Like, you spend so much time with "SJW libtards destroyed with facts and logic" media that everything seems like an SJW narrative that needs to be torn down and picked apart relentlessly. I guess everything really does look like a nail if all you have is a hammer.
As a martial artist and combat nut, I know a bit about incapacitation vs. killing and how robust the human body is. I think you made the right call on the guards.
Took me a second to understand, its actually funny The joke is that James said "Lets see" but you cant see what is invisible, so then James said "Wait a minute" Because he understood that you cant see someone that is invisible. Dont worry, you cant understand Every joke so sometimes you just have to fake laugh
The movie does a great job of foreshadowing, even at the end when Adrian offers dinner, Cecelia asks for steak so that Adrian uses a big knife when eating.
I'd actually say that the guard that got his head hit up against the window is a kill. It would be a tough form of glass because it is a psycho ward and his head didn't go through meaning some fracture in the skull and then he fell down to his side and hit his head hard meaning he would've died from blunt force trauma. This is how I see it, not saying you're wrong but it's just how i see it.
Yeah, looking over the footage again, that's the only one I would argue should probably be counted. The others look non-fatal, but the brutal head trauma most likely killed that guy.
Added to the fact the suit is shown to give enhanced abilities suck as strength and speed and I assume some for of movement silencer cause those cameras on the feet would be clacking against any floors
For a Blumhouse remake of a classic, this movie is surprisingly amazing. So many of the small details and foreshadowing are thought out so well. Like the phone background, the dog not entering the lab, why there’s mannequins in the bedroom, why Sydney had a jellyfish shirt.
Honestly kind of offended you said that as some of my favorite horor movies are made by blumhouse :happy deathday ,deathday to you,the boy amd a few others
@@HI-oh5ur blumhouse does make good horror movies every once in a while, but compared to other studios and the standard set for horror movies they really aren't that good
I personally really liked the off screen guard kill. I think it was brutal and darkly funny for Adrian to fuck with the poor guy that way. That scene was incredibly tense and the brief bit of comedy really drove home that Adrian was beyond insane.
Is anyone else loving how James is doing Lighthouse references in his two most recent vids? 11:30 in this one "why'd you spill ur beans" And in the other at one point he goes "To hell with ye!"
Fun details: Cecilia choses to eat steak at the end, so that Adrian would hold a sharp knife. The guy at the job interview said: So we both know the importance of closet space. Which foreshadows the suit hidden in the cubby in the closet.
For those who aren't aware: This movie was originally supposed to be part of Universal's "Dark Universe" concept, of giving their classic monster movie characters modern updates in a shared universe, and would've starred Johnny Depp. However, once the 2017 Mummy starring Tom Cruise bombed with both critics and audiences, the Dark Universe was dropped, and Universal decided to make all future classic monster updates their own standalone features. And truth be told, I think that really helped this movie in the long run. It's a great film that I just don't see how it could've been better if forced into this MCU-like concept (another tidbit: much like James mentioned about himself in the review of the 1930s Invisible Man, this was the last film I saw in theaters before our strange new reality set in)
Personally, I could get behind a horror film anthology where the stories are self-contained like this, but have certain details hinting that they're in the same universe. - Then again, John Carpenter tried doing something like that with Halloween and we all know how that went...
@@themoviechef9413 Id suggest maybe checking out Crypt Tv, they have a whole universe with these amazing well done monsters/ horror shorts which I believe are all mostly connected
I love every single kill count you give us, James. You make even the worst remakes/movies enjoyable when you’re on screen. I’ll admit though, it’s a damn treat seeing you really enjoying a remake once in a blue moon! Your energy when you’re reviewing a movie you like, let alone a remake, is damn contagious. And, a huge thanks for this month’s kill count schedule! It’s clearly a lot of hard work, but you and your team always deliver the same (or increased) level of quality we get normally! Hope you and Chelsea are enjoying the new house, man!
amen to this message, even when james was doing the kill count for I Know What You Did Last Summer 3 (which he said is one of his least favourite horror movies in the video) he still made a fantastic kill count despite the shitty movie.
The first name of the main character, Cecilia, is derived from the Latin Caecus which means blind or eyeless, Appropriately, she cannot see the Invisible Man. She is frequently called 'C' in the film, which, obviously, is pronounced like 'see.' The opening sequence originally had original music written for it, but Leigh Whannell and the sound design team felt it worked better with silence and the sound of the crashing waves. No actors' names appear at the beginning of the film. The outside wall of the mental institution has a graffiti piece depicting Billy the Puppet, the doll the Jigsaw Killer uses in Saw (2004). Director Leigh Whannell wrote and starred in Saw (2004)
I remember watching TV with my dad and a trailer for this came on and when the part where she throws the paint on him he said “why does he look like a golf ball”
There were 3 suits actually; Adrian's, Tom's and Cecelia's. Cecelia ruined Adrian's suit in the hospital so there's no way that the person she fought there could've been Tom since he had a fully functioning suit when he attacked Sidney, until Cecelia shot it. I fully believe Adrian had some leverage over Tom and was forcing him to do everything for him, seeing as Tom mentioned that Adrian was abusive to him when they were younger as well.
Benslice526 Davidson no. It’s Adrian that attacks her at the hospital because you can hear him say “surprise” as she passes out. But the suit is ruined after the hospital scene. So he tells Tom to go over to the guy’s house to kill the man and daughter. Cece kills Tom first tho. So then Adrian goes back home and ties himself up. Who do you think has been feeding his dog who has stayed alive for weeks in that mansion?
Not flexing or anything but I can draw the invisible man when I was 1 month old. Edit: Since so many of you don't get the joke, let me explain. You do not need to draw the invisible man, he is invisible FFS. You don't need to do anything since I'm not talking about the actual visible suit. So technically anybody can draw him as all you need to do is do nothing. Since you don't need to do anything, I'm saying “not flexing or anything" to sarcastically flex that I can do something that easy at any given age where it would have been impossible. What should have been funny about the joke is that some pathetic guy on the internet is saying he can draw something something literally anybody can draw and ironically flexing about it. I'm losing my brain cells looking at the comments.
Technically the suit was already made (probably for the military) when Cecilia is leaving we see her walk by the suits in the garage. There are three of them. He was probably making them for the military and then decided to use them to aid his plan because as his brother says "You're the only thing that he can't control anymore and you know Adrian is always in control" though I'm paraphrasing.
Interesting piece of trivia... Cecilia's actress Elisabeth Moss had previously voiced Kimberly Ventrix in the Batman The Animated Series episode See No Evil. In the episode Kimberly's father Lloyd uses an invisible suit to stalk his daughter after he lost custody of her, his ultimate goal being to kidnap her but was stopped by Batman.
After watching your summaries of these two movies, I have to consider the original '30's movie as the one I would most like to watch. That guy's megalomania was enough to drive him to murder over 100 people, but at least he didn't torture them for the sake of gaslighting a single person. Original Griffin was almost cartoonishly evil, this guy was just sick.
I can’t believe I didn’t realize, it took me two years to realize that Adrien left those guards alive as eye witnesses that could attest that there was an invisible man, making a stronger case that it was Tom.
When I heard about an Invisible Man remake I didn't expect anything from it because how do you make a modern movie about an invisible slasher exciting? This is how. It's brilliant and I'm so glad when my cynicism gets proven wrong.
For a chicken like me, Kill Count has opened up the world of horror movies that I thought I would never dare to approach. I am really easily scared, so was never able to enjoy the genre by myself or even when in company; and even though watching kill counts may 'ruin' some of the experience that first-time watchers are meant to enjoy, it has let me watch movies I have always wanted to see but was too anxious to watch. The Invisible Man was definitely on my list, so I'm really excited to watch it this coming weekend! Thanks, James!
If there’s a horror movie I want to watch but I’m not sure if it’ll have certain themes I find really distressing, my first reaction is to see if there was a kill count done on it.
At 3:40, in the news report, it says that the company Adrian founded is called Cobolt. That's the same company that the main character's wife worked for in Upgrade.
I just watched this movie yesterday so I could watch the kill count today and I loved this movie! The tension it builds by just panning over to an empty part of the room is such a cool concept! It is one of the scariest and yet most subtle ways I've ever seen a movie create paranoia and fear. Elizabeth Moss did a sublime job bringing this hopelessness of being tormented by a supposedly dead invisible man across aswell. Loved the Kill Count episode because you really brought across those exact points aswell James. Great work as always
People bash this movie because they say that the premise of a billionaire using his invisible suit to stalk his girlfriend is stupid. As someone who has unfortunately seen abusive relationships similar to Cecilia’s, I can unfortunately say with certainty that it’s entirely plausible. The lengths some guys will go in order to control, abuse and manipulate their girlfriends has no bounds.
No, see you misunderstand the dislike stems from the fact that this has no connection to the original story. The story is fine, but in the sense of an adaptation it butchers the original idea of The Invisible Man being someone that loses his humanity, and instead goes into typical troupes like all men are bad, believe women, so brave and bold. If you really wanted to be bold and craft something new the antagonist would've been a woman because they're just as likely to leave invisible damage on a man in a relationship.
@@FromBeyondTheGrave1 It's not an adaptation, it's a remake loosely based on the original story, and I didn't get the feeling that it was trying to say "all men bad" considering James was portrayed as a well-meaning and sympathetic father whose biggest priority is his daughter's safety. I don't disagree that women who abuse men exist, but this really just seems like you're trying to play some sort of abusive relationship Tug of War.
@@Mordecai0799 No it's an adaptation of a book from 1897 by H.G. Wells, and the only call backs to that is the last name of the villain, you're supposed to have a limited amount of sympathy towards Griffin by the end of the story he goes mad because of his experience, not that he's already a dirt bag with no redeeming qualities.
But that story already exists, in several forms. Why would people want this version to just repeat that without adding anything except modern technology?
@@s.g.7572 To be fair I don't see the point in calling it "The Invisible Man" (It should have been called "Surprise" or something) Take "The Shape of Water" for example. Is it a well made movie? Yes. However, if it was called "Creature from the Black Lagoon" it would be a terrible remake. Characters like Batman, Captain America, etc. have 80 years of history and stories to adapt. "The Invisible Man" has 1. It was Adapted in 1933, with the Universal classic and in 2000 ("HollowMan" so not even officially) and that is it. This movie is "Enough" but the husband and his friend have an invisibility suit. The fact The Mummy ripped off multiple movies, This ripped off a movie, Wolfman reported to ripoff "NightCrawler" and "Frankenstein" reported to rip off "Disturbia" The 1999 The Mummy was a completely different Genre, but it still followed the same plot of its 1932 original. (2017 did not) So you can see how people are irritated that they aren't getting the plot to the story they are wanting to see that only came out before they were born. That is why people didn't complain about "the Mummy" 1999 because it did follow that plot (And it is loved probably more than the original at this point) If they made "50 shades of Grey" but gave the guy a gimp mask shaped like a Bat then gave the title of the movie "Batman" you can see where people would be pissed who actually like Batman. Even if it was the best movie ever made. To sum it up. There is a difference in making an Invisible Man movie, and Making a movie with an Invisible Man in it. A lot of people wanted to see THE invisible Man, not A invisible man.
The scene where Cici reacts to her sister’s death was heart wrenching for me, since I’m pretty close to my own sister. But from now on the only thing that will come to mind is “poopy pants crying face.”

Heyo
I used to hate horror movies but now that I watch ur videos I can finally appreciate them
Good job as always james
The worst part of this movie is coming back home satisfied by the experience, telling people you just saw The Invisible Man, then immediately being asked how I saw him.
Okay but for real...
How’d you see him?
@@BacadoTheSkoggy >:(
LMAO but yeah, how'd u see him?

@@deseireheaven9423 Talk about it!
@@deseireheaven9423 there’s a joke here (sorry)
3 things I noticed while watching this:
1) When Cindy pepper sprays the invisible man, he stumbled back into the dresser and she (presumably) ran past him. But then, she's clotheslined in the hall, which would mean someone was in front of her. So I really think both brothers were there at first, then Adrien dipped out to leave and let Tom take the fall.
2) Cindy is wearing jellyfish pjs, which Cece had compared Tom to earlier, foreshadowing that it was him in the house.
3) When Adrian is the invisible man, he's quick and efficient with the guards. But the one that beats up James takes his time just to be brutal, another hint that this was Tom.
damn. didn't even notice any of this.
Sheeshhh
Wait so theres more than one
Im fuckingg confused
@@AbsoluteAbsurd I think there’s 3 suits in total
One of the greatest and most satisfying endings I've seen in a horror flick lately. I love the irony of having the invisible suit used against Adrian himself.
There are several of you arent there?
I just have to say we are into very similar stuff
@@alonelybubble Maybe
A double irony is she made it look like he killed himself just like Adrian faked his own death at the start.
@@alonelybubble nope it's the real guy without a moustache
I honestly love the way Ceci’s sister dies the moment of horror and realisation that her sister was telling the truth is my favourite moment in the movie
I agree. My favorite in my opinion because it left Cece hopeless when the one person who was starting to believe her gets killed off. Shows how Adrian really does take away all of her options in the movie
@@nowtthere One hundred percent agree. It had a very real psychological horror to it, when she was left all alone and then taken away after the death.

@@Boneyard_Kenji Invisible Man
This movie is one of the first movies where I felt the protagonist wasn't making stupid decisions for the whole movie. She was always coming up with inventive ways of trying to prove her hysteria and set traps for him.
But why did she never show the pictures taken of her sleeping to anyone? That would show that at least some creep is stalking her.
@@rosestar1324 Because she would have no proof it was someone else that put that phone in the attic. It would have probably been only her prints on it, which would have made her look crazier.
@@Vxylon It is very easy to set up a tripod for the phone to be put on. There is a timer on it as well which could have been set to record by her. So, again no proof and still makes her look guilty.
@@Vxylon Not everything was explained in the movie. I would be here for several weeks if I went back and watched it to see what could and could not be explained. You will just have to use your imagination for the explanation. Sorry, I do not have all the answers.
@@rosestar1324 she was attacked by the invisible man in the kitchen right after that attick scene and she leave for Adrian's and her old house where she found the 2nd invisible suit again before being attacked by the invisible man. She was given little to no time to tell everything to her sis Emily but was put in the Psychiatry ward for murder and mental breakdown.
I also love how if you listen closely to the scenes where the camera pans to an empty spot, you can hear the mechanics of the invisible suit, masterfully hinting at the fact that Adrian is always watching
I hadn't noticed that. I'll definitely have to rewatch
Adrian is a douché
Yes! You can almost always hear the suit in scenes. It’s really scary... that’s the only way I could clue into him being there.
I noticed that too! I loved all the hidden details that hinted to Adrian’s invisible presence throughout the movie
so basically, he invests millions of dollars into an ocular suit so he can become invisible. then he dies from it in the end. i guess you could say he didn’t see that coming
Omg....that's amazing

With films like this and Upgrade, Leigh Whannell is going to be one of the most respected writers/directors in Hollywood in a few years.
Indeed!
Bruh.. Upgrade gives me the creeps😱 Makes me think, that if our AIs get too advanced in the near future, that kind of thing is very possible..
@@user-uj2cq6rd8n You shouldn't be afraid of an Ai, it only does what it's been told to. What I was trained for with sample data. Fear those who have an agenda that made this ai. Let's stick to reality life is not a movie an AI isn't going to "go rouge".
He is already my favorite horror movie director
And Mike Flanagan! They are both very underrated.
One thing to notice is that he served Cici Sushi when trying to reconcile with her. You're not supposed to eat Sushi while pregnant, showing he doesn't actually care about the baby. He just wants it as a tool to control her.
If he were smart he wouldn't have offered steak either bc those usually require knives. Then again he never thought she'd retaliate against him. His arrogance pretty much got him killed
You're not?
@@sekani9761 you can but it's possible for pregnant women to get sick
And wine
I’m to the point that when I learn fun facts like this about a movie, it was 100% intentional by the director.
I love the themes in this movie. While watching for the first time, my husband asked me if I thought there was really an invisible man or if the movie was about Cecilia going crazy. There were times early on when I considered it, but her conviction and some of her points about Adrian’s behavior convinced me for the rest of the movie and I was proven right. Some of the scenes were so anxiety inducing and it’s really all you could want from a horror movie. One of the best I’ve seen in a while!
@@TheCoolCucumber That’s a good point. They definitely could have left it more ambiguous in the trailers, then the audience would be figuring it out along with the main character instead of already knowing what was going on. Honestly I feel like that’s been a problem with trailers. They either misrepresent what the movie is or they give away too much of the plot. Like they try so hard to make the movie seem interesting that they give away a twist or something
Man, I love it when horror movies take the more sci-fi look at things and not just a religious or magical look.
His suit is still kind of futurey for me, but more realistic than taking a piss in a bottle, throwing some paint in it and some water and calling it a ''Magic Invisibility Potion''.
Also, the fact that his suit didn't get harmed by water or paint or other liquids thrown at him was kinda strange. It seems like alot of technology going on in it that doesn't leave space for proper liquid protection. So that too is kinda unrealistic for me.
@@TheKatera4a sorry i meant scientific just realised
I remember Terminator 1 was a horror movie. Also the childs play reboot turns chucky into a robot.
@@TheKatera4a you can see it was affected because the suit camera things are flickering a bit
How did he didn't have a shadow ?
The opening scene of this movie is the definition of how to write a good screenplay. No dialogue at all but you are given so much information about the characters and circumstances. Not to mention the tension building was well crafted which led to actually good jump scares.
Right. When she kicked the bowl, everyone in the theatre I was in jumped.
you can just see how smart and careful cece is from the medicine to walking like she was on eggshells, and how controlling adrian was to having his hand on her hip to all the cameras placed around. that's just seriously amazing.
That attic scene, that scared the shit outta me
@@charlatte6142 The part where he says surprise in the text is very foreshadowing in a way that I actually did not expect as it gave him away.
A good example of show don't tell.
In the dinner scene at the end you can see that it’s sushi and wine, two big things that can kill a baby if it’s still in the uterus. This shows that Adrian is trying to kill the baby and doesn’t want or care about
That’s actually pretty smart thank you
That, or he doesn't care enough to do research on what you can't eat (or eat a lot of) while pregnant. I've always interpreted it as giving Cecilia the illusion of choice, but still limiting her to what _he_ wants.
wait is this sushi and wine fact actually true?
@@smoothyoda3581 Yep! Sushi, especially the kind w/ fish in it, is unhealthy for children in utero, and wine contains alcohol, which is also unhealthy for a fetus.
@@fandomcringebucket I’d think he would know given that he controlled her diet when they were together and a kid would be an easy weapon for him to use against her
I love how supportive James is of CeCe. I feel like we don’t always get that in movies.
The Invisible Man 1930: A Universal Horror Classic that was ahead of its time
The Invisible Man 2020: When a classic meets Modern Technology, A remake done to great effect
Modern Technology and Issues/Context.
I love it when remakes are faithful to the spirit and not the letter of the original like this. It'll be exciting to see what this director does next.
I've never seen the original one but this one was so good me and my family had to watch it back to back multiple times lol
@@groofay exactly! This is what being a remake is. Most remakes throughout cinema history are mostly just rehashes or just making a colored version of a B&W film. We need more like this.
@Miguel Messina he's said before remakes need to do something different to warrant them cause if they were to do the same thing as the original you could just go watch the better version. So I wouldn't expect him to dislike a movie just cause it used a different method for it's plot device if that were the case he would have hated my bloody valentine remake which he was ok with.
Emily's death was so surprising to me. I had to pause the movie when I saw it because of how taken aback I was. I honestly expected her to live throughout most if not all of the movie since she was established as the first person to rescue and be there for CC. The public atmosphere, Emily actually starting to believe CC's story (or at least listening to it), all made me feel safe enough to let my guard down. Then we see the floating knife and not 2 seconds later Emily's throat is slit and she dies. The scene is so well done and the more I think about it the more it makes sense that Emily is the first person Adrian would kill, since Emily was the first to get CC away from him.
its what the directors want you to do. let your guard down that way you keep watching and its more interesting.
same. at first i didn't realize what happened, then my dad replayed the scene and for the rest of the night i was panicking because it terrified me so much
@@Alice-un6mf Lol hope you sleep well
Gasp spoilers
That moment you realize that killing Emily wasn't just to punish/gaslight CC, but also Adrian getting revenge on the person that helped her escape from him.
Dont you hate those scenes where someone is in a rush and breathing heavy they hop into a car very quickly and the driver goes "so tell me your life story, are you ok I feel like you have time to talk by the way you so quickly got into my car".
"You seem hurt. I definately shouldn't take you to a hospital in the most direct way possible. Instead I should take this dark road that I have never seen before and waste a lot of time. Is that a tall man that looks very insane and has a big bloody axe with him? I should talk to him too, he seems like he is friendly and open to conversations and not like a serial murderer or anything standing like that covored in blood out here in the middle of these woods. Oh God, who would have guessed he wanted to kill you and now is in the proccess of killing me, I definately couldn't guess.''
@@TheKatera4a plot twist it was a butcher that had to use a axe to cut a deer and the bloods deer blood he chased the lady trying to give her back her car keys and the lady tripped on the ground accidentally wounding herself
Yes same! The scene where she gets in her sisters car and tells her to drive. He is literally punching the window and the sister goes "whats going on" ... like god damn woman just drive... talk later
Its even more odd because the sister knew to come which means that she had been told Cecilia so the sister had to have been somewhat aware of the situation, so why the hell when you see you sister running to the car out of breath would you not immediately give the accelerator a good squeeze, Like your coming over in the middle of the night to pick up your sister, even if cecilia hadnt told the sister about adrian's abuse (which i do sort of doubt) you must still find the whole prospect a bit odd but bells should be going off in your head why shes asking you to do it so late to avoid him... then she comes running out of the darkness and then so does he, the minute has was coming full speed she should have floored it, though i will say the punching the window out seems a little odd, ive seen car windows take bricks and not break but a bro mans punch shatters the thing... yea ok... sure.
That scene actually made me dislike her sister right off. I was like “GO YOU STUPID LITTLE TROLLOP!!!”
Invisible man is an absolute masterpiece. Fantastic acting, well paced plot, depth to the plot and character development, hard hitting action and constant surprises. Very refreshing and disturbing film.
My family should have watched this for Halloween night instead we did Scary Movie 2, could not eat a thing during that movie.

Hi
I don’t get it
The crazy thing is I was literally watching this movie last night and couldn’t remember if he’d done a kill count yet because I wanted to know how he would count Cece’s escape scene. This movie slaps so hard, almost as hard as James.
Really, me too! Weird.
“That’s the furthest you’ve gone since you’ve been here, okay? So as far as I’m concerned you just walked on the moon”
I’ve never needed to hear that more than now wtf it’s so sweet and supportive

Oh wow I remember that episode! Funny that.
There’s no way that can be a coincidence.
this movie is prolly one of the most well made horror movies that really facinates me. The fact that it had abuse theme (where some don't have the guts to delve into), excellent cinematography and stunning twists. It doesnt rely on mainstream jumpscares and mostly catches you off guard when you feel like you know whats going to happen. Not to mention the ending felt strangely empowering. And oliver looks so fine in that green suit too.
@ That's a opinion.
Weird that the abuse theme is the first thing you name.
dude! the way the scenes are filled with empty space, knowing that he could be anywhere in the room(s) is stressful enough.
@@ilovepicklesandonion as a former victim of abuse (physically and verbally with abundance of gaslighting) these kind of movies with this theme makes me mildly uncomfortable. But the unsettling silence throughout the film kept me hooked and stimulated like a rollercoaster.

My dad and I were looking for a movie to watch together and came across this one. As a massive horror movie fan I had such low expectations due to the basic horror movies we usually get these days. Not only did this movie completely blow my expectations away but my dad and I were on the edge of the couch totally invested in the characters after the first 15 minutes. The invisible man was an emotional rollercoaster that had my full attention. Literally a masterpiece.
This movie was my favourite of 2020 so far, such an incredibly shot movie. The shots where the camera pans from Cecilia to what is seemingly and empty frame? and you are wondering if it's not empty. Several times earlier in the movie I questioned myself to whether or not there really was an invisible man... Really expertly directed.
Leigh Whannell is probably my favorite movie writer and one of my favorite directors. I mean; Saw, Upgrade, and now this? Insidious was pretty good too but I didn't think it was as good as the others mentioned. Shame I read some people didn't watch this movie because they thought "the trailer spoiled everything".
Exactly. I just got so paranoid with these shots, especially with the shot of an “empty” chair.
Yes! Gave me similar vibes to the Haunting of Hill House, where you don’t know if the threat is real, or mental illness until the big reveal.
Yesss. My favorite horror movie I’ve seen so far. Such good videography and story
Definitely my favorite of the 5 films released this year 😂
This is how you reboot a franchise. You take the source material and adapt it for a new age, not just repeating the original beat for beat.
If you repeat something beat for beat,its not a reboot its a remake
Honestly that just sucks. For over 10 years that's been an annoying cliche.
Take some old classic and modernize it.
Bat cave? More like bat cube. Supernatural? nah it's super science. Don't ask how some random old guy with zero budget on his own managed to make one of the most revolutionary feats of biological engineering that would require at least 2 ground breaking theorems to be discovered to even be theorized possible that no government or company is even close to doing.
How did he hack my life and got access to everything in my town? Oh he just created a quantum computer in his basement somehow.
@@magnusm4To be fair though The Invisible Man got a modern re adaptation in the 2000’s called Hollow Man with Kevin Bacon as the titular character. In that movie they stuck with the “serum” aspect of Wells’ original story that’s injected into the body and an antidote that’s administered the same way.
"OPEN LETTER" TO JAMES. A.

2:52 I hated how her sister was asking her what’s going on like she couldn’t put it together that her sister told her to pick her up in the middle of the night while her husband is chasing her and as she’s begging her to go she’s just like what’s going on.
Thing is I think I believe it? A lot of the way this movie works isn't just an exploration for how abusers work but how bystanders treat the abused. Her sister is the type of person to want to have everything explained and understood before she actually does anything to help someone, and that's exactly the sorta person you run into all the time if you're trying to get out of an abusive relationship.
Yeah, I had very little sympathy for her when she died because of that one scene.
Exarian for real!!!
@@Exarian Yeah. I mean, you're being told to go to a friend's house to pick them up in the middle of the night. Reasonably, it wouldn't be wrong to ask a few questions before driving away. Neither became you drove away or someone slammed themselves into the car.
When you’re dumb you get no passenger side window
the end where she says "surprise" and james says "fuck yeah" was my favorite part
I really like the symbolic messages in this movie that is about a toxic and abusive relationship. How that relationship haunts you and harms you. It follows you and can ruin your life and while you can see that, other people won't have any idea about it, they won't see it...it's invisible to them.
Or maybe im looking too far into it lmao, i give this movie a light to decent 8.
Nah that's definitely the underlying tone, but this time it's not that deep under than some other symbolic messages
there’s no way you’re looking too deep into it. that paranoia is something i think victims of abuse will suffer for a long time, and it’s definitely an overarching theme throughout the movie.
I agree, I would like to listen some analysis of how we didn't see much about Cecilia's life cause all her life was about Adrian and his abusive relationship.
You are correct
I like that thought
As someone who was in an abusive relationship at one dark point in my life, I can honestly say this movie did a FANTASTIC job portraying the paranoia and anxiety of a victim. My abusive ex-boyfriend used to attempt to- and twice successfully -break into my house “just to talk” even after we broke up. Once I filed a restraining order, I couldn’t shake the feeling that he was going to come back after he said “he’d make my life Hell if I called the police.” I KNEW he wouldn’t, but in my irrationally scared brain it was always possible. My roommates and I chose to replace the sliding glass door to the back porch with doors with a deadbolt, and we bought blinds for the windows, which I could never have open in fear that he’d be there, looking in. The scene where she walked to the mailbox alone and her friend was like “You walked on the moon.” hit hard because for the longest time, I could barely let the dog out without knowing someone I trusted could see me if he were to show up. Those panning shots and wide angles that have you looking for any trace of the invisible man? Yeah, that’s exactly what I felt walking through my own home. You get this weird hyperawareness after a bad situation like that, and I think this movie demonstrated this very, very well.
I hope your okay now.
Hope you’re doing well.
I hope you’re doing alright
I hope you are okay now and coming from a complete stranger, I hope you are living a wonderful life now.

Like, you spend so much time with "SJW libtards destroyed with facts and logic" media that everything seems like an SJW narrative that needs to be torn down and picked apart relentlessly. I guess everything really does look like a nail if all you have is a hammer.

The movie does a great job of foreshadowing, even at the end when Adrian offers dinner, Cecelia asks for steak so that Adrian uses a big knife when eating.
I am genuinely surprised by how well this movie turned out, remakes don't always turn out that well but this delivered.
As someone who has been through abuse, this movie gave me so much anxiety with how the main character acted. It was so scary and put me on edge.

I'd actually say that the guard that got his head hit up against the window is a kill. It would be a tough form of glass because it is a psycho ward and his head didn't go through meaning some fracture in the skull and then he fell down to his side and hit his head hard meaning he would've died from blunt force trauma. This is how I see it, not saying you're wrong but it's just how i see it.
Yeah, looking over the footage again, that's the only one I would argue should probably be counted. The others look non-fatal, but the brutal head trauma most likely killed that guy.
Sooooo true nice bro 👌👌
Added to the fact the suit is shown to give enhanced abilities suck as strength and speed and I assume some for of movement silencer cause those cameras on the feet would be clacking against any floors
The one he punched in the face is dead cause the bone in his nose probably ran into his brain
@@lyricaltherapy6293 I'd like to personally thank you for your input and reasoning. Thank you.
For a Blumhouse remake of a classic, this movie is surprisingly amazing. So many of the small details and foreshadowing are thought out so well. Like the phone background, the dog not entering the lab, why there’s mannequins in the bedroom, why Sydney had a jellyfish shirt.
Was the last one a joke?
It takes a lot to remake a classic!
Honestly kind of offended you said that as some of my favorite horor movies are made by blumhouse :happy deathday ,deathday to you,the boy amd a few others
i legit thoght i would be trash,but it was good to my surprise
@@HI-oh5ur blumhouse does make good horror movies every once in a while, but compared to other studios and the standard set for horror movies they really aren't that good
I personally really liked the off screen guard kill. I think it was brutal and darkly funny for Adrian to fuck with the poor guy that way. That scene was incredibly tense and the brief bit of comedy really drove home that Adrian was beyond insane.
Is anyone else loving how James is doing Lighthouse references in his two most recent vids? 11:30 in this one "why'd you spill ur beans"
And in the other at one point he goes "To hell with ye!"
Fun details:
Cecilia choses to eat steak at the end, so that Adrian would hold a sharp knife.
The guy at the job interview said: So we both know the importance of closet space. Which foreshadows the suit hidden in the cubby in the closet.
Dang I missed so much
For those who aren't aware:
This movie was originally supposed to be part of Universal's "Dark Universe" concept, of giving their classic monster movie characters modern updates in a shared universe, and would've starred Johnny Depp.
However, once the 2017 Mummy starring Tom Cruise bombed with both critics and audiences, the Dark Universe was dropped, and Universal decided to make all future classic monster updates their own standalone features.
And truth be told, I think that really helped this movie in the long run. It's a great film that I just don't see how it could've been better if forced into this MCU-like concept
(another tidbit: much like James mentioned about himself in the review of the 1930s Invisible Man, this was the last film I saw in theaters before our strange new reality set in)
Personally, I could get behind a horror film anthology where the stories are self-contained like this, but have certain details hinting that they're in the same universe.

Then again, John Carpenter tried doing something like that with Halloween and we all know how that went...
That actually sound pretty cool. Never heard of the dark universe but I feel like it could work if done right

I love every single kill count you give us, James. You make even the worst remakes/movies enjoyable when you’re on screen.
I’ll admit though, it’s a damn treat seeing you really enjoying a remake once in a blue moon! Your energy when you’re reviewing a movie you like, let alone a remake, is damn contagious.
And, a huge thanks for this month’s kill count schedule! It’s clearly a lot of hard work, but you and your team always deliver the same (or increased) level of quality we get normally!
Hope you and Chelsea are enjoying the new house, man!
amen to this message, even when james was doing the kill count for I Know What You Did Last Summer 3 (which he said is one of his least favourite horror movies in the video) he still made a fantastic kill count despite the shitty movie.
The first name of the main character, Cecilia, is derived from the Latin Caecus which means blind or eyeless, Appropriately, she cannot see the Invisible Man. She is frequently called 'C' in the film, which, obviously, is pronounced like 'see.'
The opening sequence originally had original music written for it, but Leigh Whannell and the sound design team felt it worked better with silence and the sound of the crashing waves.
No actors' names appear at the beginning of the film.
The outside wall of the mental institution has a graffiti piece depicting Billy the Puppet, the doll the Jigsaw Killer uses in Saw (2004). Director Leigh Whannell wrote and starred in Saw (2004)

That is the sweetest, most supportive thing I’ve ever heard. It actually tugged at my heart strings a little bit.
James: "Lets see! ...Wait a minute"
Me: "There's a disturbance in the force"
There’s a dragon force in the area
i smiled at that when it happened in the video
I love horror movies with satisfying endings.
There were 3 suits actually; Adrian's, Tom's and Cecelia's. Cecelia ruined Adrian's suit in the hospital so there's no way that the person she fought there could've been Tom since he had a fully functioning suit when he attacked Sidney, until Cecelia shot it. I fully believe Adrian had some leverage over Tom and was forcing him to do everything for him, seeing as Tom mentioned that Adrian was abusive to him when they were younger as well.
Northwind sus
Adrian controlling tom was the whole point. Adrian forced to to wear the suit and make it look like he was the attacker the whole yime
Could be 3. Or they fixed one of the 2
Benslice526 Davidson no. It’s Adrian that attacks her at the hospital because you can hear him say “surprise” as she passes out. But the suit is ruined after the hospital scene. So he tells Tom to go over to the guy’s house to kill the man and daughter. Cece kills Tom first tho. So then Adrian goes back home and ties himself up. Who do you think has been feeding his dog who has stayed alive for weeks in that mansion?
@@pbower4378 by tom wearing the shit i was referring to the scene in which she kills tom. And either of them couldve been feeding the dog.
Not flexing or anything but I can draw the invisible man when I was 1 month old.
Edit: Since so many of you don't get the joke, let me explain. You do not need to draw the invisible man, he is invisible FFS. You don't need to do anything since I'm not talking about the actual visible suit. So technically anybody can draw him as all you need to do is do nothing. Since you don't need to do anything, I'm saying “not flexing or anything" to sarcastically flex that I can do something that easy at any given age where it would have been impossible. What should have been funny about the joke is that some pathetic guy on the internet is saying he can draw something something literally anybody can draw and ironically flexing about it. I'm losing my brain cells looking at the comments.

Technically the suit was already made (probably for the military) when Cecilia is leaving we see her walk by the suits in the garage. There are three of them. He was probably making them for the military and then decided to use them to aid his plan because as his brother says "You're the only thing that he can't control anymore and you know Adrian is always in control" though I'm paraphrasing.

Wait that’s actually kinda funny

That's kinda very cool, thank you
Coincidence? I THINK SO
After watching your summaries of these two movies, I have to consider the original '30's movie as the one I would most like to watch. That guy's megalomania was enough to drive him to murder over 100 people, but at least he didn't torture them for the sake of gaslighting a single person. Original Griffin was almost cartoonishly evil, this guy was just sick.

I can’t believe I didn’t realize, it took me two years to realize that Adrien left those guards alive as eye witnesses that could attest that there was an invisible man, making a stronger case that it was Tom.
When I heard about an Invisible Man remake I didn't expect anything from it because how do you make a modern movie about an invisible slasher exciting?
This is how. It's brilliant and I'm so glad when my cynicism gets proven wrong.
For a chicken like me, Kill Count has opened up the world of horror movies that I thought I would never dare to approach. I am really easily scared, so was never able to enjoy the genre by myself or even when in company; and even though watching kill counts may 'ruin' some of the experience that first-time watchers are meant to enjoy, it has let me watch movies I have always wanted to see but was too anxious to watch. The Invisible Man was definitely on my list, so I'm really excited to watch it this coming weekend! Thanks, James!
Same.
If there’s a horror movie I want to watch but I’m not sure if it’ll have certain themes I find really distressing, my first reaction is to see if there was a kill count done on it.

*"I am invisible, what should I do now ?"*
*"Screw Robbing Banks and Pranking people,Let's stalk my ex."*

he's already rich tho... and the one thing he can't get is his ex. So stands to reason that would drive his motivation.
Bruh he's already a millionaire and also do you not understand how abuse works?
i mean he was already rich but he was controlling so he decided to stalk her
Control control control
The best part of this movie:
The abuser was coldly killed by abused victim. Her last word SURPRISE
**J U S T I C E**
Well deserved indeed
I just kinda wish they addressed wether she got an abortion or not. That felt a little unresolved.
I just watched this movie yesterday so I could watch the kill count today and I loved this movie! The tension it builds by just panning over to an empty part of the room is such a cool concept! It is one of the scariest and yet most subtle ways I've ever seen a movie create paranoia and fear. Elizabeth Moss did a sublime job bringing this hopelessness of being tormented by a supposedly dead invisible man across aswell. Loved the Kill Count episode because you really brought across those exact points aswell James. Great work as always
The acting in this is one of the best I've seen.
The opening scene was the most tense I’ve felt in a movie since the bathroom scene in Halloween (2018)
People bash this movie because they say that the premise of a billionaire using his invisible suit to stalk his girlfriend is stupid. As someone who has unfortunately seen abusive relationships similar to Cecilia’s, I can unfortunately say with certainty that it’s entirely plausible. The lengths some guys will go in order to control, abuse and manipulate their girlfriends has no bounds.
No, see you misunderstand the dislike stems from the fact that this has no connection to the original story. The story is fine, but in the sense of an adaptation it butchers the original idea of The Invisible Man being someone that loses his humanity, and instead goes into typical troupes like all men are bad, believe women, so brave and bold. If you really wanted to be bold and craft something new the antagonist would've been a woman because they're just as likely to leave invisible damage on a man in a relationship.
@@FromBeyondTheGrave1 It's not an adaptation, it's a remake loosely based on the original story, and I didn't get the feeling that it was trying to say "all men bad" considering James was portrayed as a well-meaning and sympathetic father whose biggest priority is his daughter's safety. I don't disagree that women who abuse men exist, but this really just seems like you're trying to play some sort of abusive relationship Tug of War.
@@Mordecai0799 No it's an adaptation of a book from 1897 by H.G. Wells, and the only call backs to that is the last name of the villain, you're supposed to have a limited amount of sympathy towards Griffin by the end of the story he goes mad because of his experience, not that he's already a dirt bag with no redeeming qualities.
But that story already exists, in several forms. Why would people want this version to just repeat that without adding anything except modern technology?
@@s.g.7572 To be fair I don't see the point in calling it "The Invisible Man" (It should have been called "Surprise" or something) Take "The Shape of Water" for example. Is it a well made movie? Yes. However, if it was called "Creature from the Black Lagoon" it would be a terrible remake.
Characters like Batman, Captain America, etc. have 80 years of history and stories to adapt. "The Invisible Man" has 1. It was Adapted in 1933, with the Universal classic and in 2000 ("HollowMan" so not even officially) and that is it.
This movie is "Enough" but the husband and his friend have an invisibility suit. The fact The Mummy ripped off multiple movies, This ripped off a movie, Wolfman reported to ripoff "NightCrawler" and "Frankenstein" reported to rip off "Disturbia" The 1999 The Mummy was a completely different Genre, but it still followed the same plot of its 1932 original. (2017 did not)
So you can see how people are irritated that they aren't getting the plot to the story they are wanting to see that only came out before they were born. That is why people didn't complain about "the Mummy" 1999 because it did follow that plot (And it is loved probably more than the original at this point)
If they made "50 shades of Grey" but gave the guy a gimp mask shaped like a Bat then gave the title of the movie "Batman" you can see where people would be pissed who actually like Batman. Even if it was the best movie ever made.
To sum it up. There is a difference in making an Invisible Man movie, and Making a movie with an Invisible Man in it. A lot of people wanted to see THE invisible Man, not A invisible man.
The scene where Cici reacts to her sister’s death was heart wrenching for me, since I’m pretty close to my own sister. But from now on the only thing that will come to mind is “poopy pants crying face.”
