The Dragon and I saw "The Invisible Man" last night, and it's a pretty great movie. I don't think I've seen a movie that treats the simple idea of invisibility as straightforward terrifying -- "Hollow Man" tried to do it, and it didn't quite work. Leigh Whannel is an amazing horror writer, and I'm seriously impressed with his chops as a director.

Elizabeth Moss is typecast by now as the oppressed/abused yet defiant woman, but she is SO GOOD AT IT. The physicality in her performance is something special; she makes something as simple as a walk to the mailbox harrowing. But the very real experience of being trapped in an abusive relationship and having even well-meaning friends not believe you is its own kind of terror...having to bear that burden on your own is crushing, and I think the reason the movie works is that it works hard to show how hard this situation is so we can revel in the fact that the protagonist finds her way through it anyway.

It's quite intense, but if you're looking for good horror in the strain of "The Babadook" or "It Follows", this is worth a look.
