Universal Pictures has released the first official clip from Leigh Whannell's
The Invisible Man, which has been receiving all kinds of praise across the internet in early critical reactions, with some dubbing it "
a masterclass in tension and terror" and hailing Whannell as a "
full blown master of horror."
The upcoming film, which opens in theaters next Friday, is not actually a remake of the 1933 James Whale-directed classic, but is still inspired by the horror icon who has terrified generations of scary movie fans.
The new film stars Primetime Emmy-winner Elisabeth Moss (
The Handmaid's Tale), Aldis Hodge (
Jack Reacher: Never Go Back), Storm Reid (
Euphoria), Harriet Dyer (
The InBetween) and Oliver Jackson-Cohen (
The Haunting of Hill House) as the titular monster.
What you can’t see can hurt you. Emmy winner Elisabeth Moss (Us, Hulu’s The Handmaid’s Tale) stars in 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, aided by her sister (Harriet Dyer, NBC’s The InBetween), their childhood friend (Aldis Hodge, Straight Outta Compton) and his teenage daughter (Storm Reid, HBO’s Euphoria).
But when Cecilia’s abusive ex (Oliver Jackson-Cohen, Netflix’s The Haunting of Hill House) commits suicide and leaves her a generous portion of his vast fortune, Cecilia suspects his death was a hoax. As a series of eerie coincidences turns lethal, threatening the lives of those she loves, Cecilia’s sanity begins to unravel as she desperately tries to prove that she is being hunted by someone nobody can see.
