After her abusive and controlling partner commits suicide, Cecilia experiences strange and terrifying events, which lead her to believe that he is still alive but has found a way to become invisible. Leigh Whannell's loose adaptation of H. G. Wells’ 1897 novel is a very effective science fiction-tinted horror movie. The story deals with paranoia, stalking, gaslighting, and domestic abuse, and features some genuinely creepy scenes and wonderful use of negative space. Elisabeth Moss gives a terrific lead performance.
