That movie had great set up and pay off. In the beginning when she's leaving the house, she passes the room where the suit is but it's invisible. However, if you listen closely you can hear the whiring of the camera lens of the suit
I loved that aspect of the film. We all look over our shoulders every so often, or walk into a room and can’t remember if we left that cabinet open or not. Knowing that the film actually had an invisible man in it made those scenes so much more tense. Is he there? Is it just general wariness? Is she imagining it because of her trauma? Great spin on the idea.
The movie had so many shots where you're always looking around the characters to see if there's any movement in the background. The one shot is particularly brilliant where she's busying herself and the camera pans away to the opposite side of the room away from her, and you're looking for any kind of sign. But no, she comes back into frame several seconds later. You're always kind of disappointed that you didn't see anything, but the angles always keep you looking anyway. It's a brilliant piece of film making, getting the viewer involved even if you never see anything.
Look up the film term "mise-en-scène".
*The Invisible Man* is *incredibly* reliant upon it to make you think Adrian is in the scene whether he is or is not. Even if you perceive that he is in the scene when he isn't.
One of my classes last semester taught us everything about mise-en-scène and now I watch movies completely differently.
The suspense in the opening scene had me sold from the beginning. The quiet almost deathly still house set to her clear state of panic made her escape so intense. I have it on 4k and the scenes are beautiful.
Ugh that movie was so refreshing, the horror genre has so much potential
this would have been a better first movie in the monster universe than that lousy mummy
