In John Carpenter’s horror classic The Thing, R.J. MacReady (Kurt Russell) somberly explains to his tape recorder, “Nobody trusts anybody now, and we’re all very tired.” The now iconic quote summarizes the exhaustive state of sustained paranoia induced by the shape-shifting, extraterrestrial threat that has infiltrated the ranks of an isolated Antarctic research station, seamlessly assuming the identities of its inhabitants.
Isolation, mistrust, and intense paranoia drive Carpenter’s classic 1982 horror movie, heightening the effectiveness of the horror to a tangible degree; and it’s far from the only horror movie to effectively wield paranoia like a sharp blade. This week’s streaming picks highlight intense horror movies that unfurl their unrelenting tension, disorienting distrust, and discomfort through a heavy emphasis on paranoia, whether internal or external.

The episode of Wtf Happened to This Horror Movie? covering The Invisible Man (2020) was Written and Narrated by Adam Walton, Edited by Jaime Vasquez, Produced by Andrew Hatfield and John Fallon, and Executive Produced by Berge Garabedian.
One of the most recurring trends in Hollywood right now is the horror remake, and for better, or worse, it isn’t gonna disappear (pun intended) anytime soon. David Gordon Green’s The Exorcist remake may have been met with a geyser of pea soup from the mouths of critics and fans alike, but that isn’t slowing the trend down for the foreseeable future. The Halloween franchise has been picked up by Miramax with the intention of creating a TV series, and a possible cinematic universe, and that’s just hot off the heels of Halloween Ends, erm, ending the recent trilogy with somewhat of a whimper.

In ways both great and unfortunate, Leigh Whannell's "The Invisible Man" was a perfect pre-covid-19 watch. Its protagonist, the indelible Cecilia Kass (Elizabeth Moss), is tormented by a camouflaged evil — one that infiltrates and corrupts every inch of the house she occupies, rendering her normal life meaningless. But the illness that Kass' ex, Adrian Griffin (Oliver Taylor-Cohen), represents is less pathogen than pathological; he is a gaslighter with psychotic tendencies, a man whose brilliance only bolsters his toxic, controlling impulses. He is any woman's worst nightmare, and is more frightening for how fully the toxic masculinity he represents permeates every facet of our society....

Elisabeth Moss has racked up 12 Emmy, four Golden Globe and 15 Screen Actors Guild Awards bids to date — all for her TV work. Now, she can could reap her first Oscar nomination and has not one but two movies in contention, Universal’s “The Invisible Man” and Neon’s “Shirley.” She’ll be submitted in the Best Actress category for both of these. Below, I lay out why I hope to see voters cite her for the former.
Based loosely on H. G. Well‘s 1897 novel of the same name, “The Invisible Man” opens with Moss’ Cecilia Kass breaking free from her violent relationship with her diabolical boyfriend Adrian Griffin (Oliver Jackson-Cohen), a wicked optics engineer and businessman. Even after she is taken in by a friend who is on the police force, she continues to wrestle with the deleterious effects of the abuse, including a ceaseless fear that Adrian will find her.

Oliver Jackson-Cohen might play villainous roles like The Haunting of Bly Manor's Peter Quint and The Invisible Man's Adrian Griffin, but don't let those projects scare you away. The 33-year-old actor likes to break the tension with laughs on set and actually seeks out acting opportunities that
allow him to express his "sensitive" and "emotional" nature
. That's what made him such a compelling character when he portrayed Luke Crain in The Haunting of Hill House, which is where many fans fell in love with him for the first time.
He's certainly no sweetheart in these new Netflix episodes - Peter Quint is manipulative and terrifying - so if you need help separating the actor from the role, keep reading. We've rounded up a few of our favorite facts about Oliver that'll help you rest easy. For example, did you know he was originally set to play a totally opposite part in Bly Manor?...

There’s a simple answer to where you’ve seen most of 2020’s The Haunting of Bly Manor‘s cast before: in 2018’s The Haunting of Hill House. Writer-director Mike Flanagan has a resident company of actors with roles across several of his horror projects, as shown by the significant crossover between these two Netflix series alone. Victoria Pedretti, Oliver Jackson-Cohen, Henry Thomas and Katie Parker are just some of the familiar faces appearing in Flanagan’s new Henry James-inspired spooky series Bly Manor. And here’s what else this bunch is known for on screen.
Henry Thomas – Henry Wingrave
Thomas’ most famous role came at the age of 10 when he played young lead Elliott in Steven Spielberg’s 1982 blockbuster E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial (see his terrific audition tape here).

To say there has been volatility around the 2020 movie release calendar is an understatement. As justifiable anxiety and caution around the coronavirus pandemic grows, a number of intriguing films scheduled for March, April, and May have been delayed to dates unseen (or into 2021). Many others, meanwhile, have been moved to VOD as our definition of what a “new release is” changes.
Be that as it may, February was an unusually strong beginning to the cinematic year, and assuming the rest of the calendar holds, there is plenty still to look forward to–including Mulan and A Quiet Place Part II if those manage to stay in 2020. So wash your hands for at least 20 seconds and then join us in looking at the best movies that have come out so far this year, and what is still coming.

Over the last weekend, an eerie thing happened at the box office: Leigh Whannell and Blumhouse Productions’ The Invisible Man brought the Universal Monsters legacy back with a vengeance. Over-performing with a monstrous box office bow of $29 million in the U.S. alone, the horror reimagining of the H.G. Wells novel (and James Whale’s 1933 film) more than quadrupled its $7 million budget in only three days.
This is of course good news about a good horror movie, one of the best in a while with its panic attack-inducing allegory about a woman being gaslighted by an abusive ex. But it’s also rather miraculous news for the Universal Monsters label, which has by and large languished in the 21st century despite multiple attempts to resurrect it from the dead. Indeed, just three years after the Dark Universe was embarrassingly put out to pasture following The Mummy’s disastrous June 2017 debut,...

Writer-Director Leigh Whannell's "The Invisible Man" is a science-fiction horror thriller. It is contemporary, relevant and a completely reinvented adaptation of Hg Wells' novel of the same name and a reboot of "The Invisible Man" film series.
The narrative begins on an unsteady note. In the dead of the night, a petrified Cecilia Kass (Elisabeth Moss), suffering from Ptsd, stealthily escapes the prison-like complex where she lives with her husband Adrian Griffin (Oliver Jackson-Cohen), a brilliant scientist and wealthy tech entrepreneur.
Heading to nearby San Francisco, Cecilia counts on her sister Emily Kass (Harriet Dyer) and their childhood friend James (Aldis Hodge) for support.
In fact, she temporarily puts up with James and his teen daughter Sydney (Storm Reid) where she confides in them, that she was in a coercive relationship with her husband, who was in total control of everything, of what she said or thought, and hence her desperate need to escape.

Recalling the classic movie monsters of Hollywood’s Golden Age, visions of those hardworking actors suffering through hours of cumbersome, often restrictive make-ups spring to mind. Ah, but one didn’t occupy “make-up marvel” Jack Pierce’s “barbershop” chair. Why? Because he wasn’t “there”, aside from a wig, bandages, dark sunglasses, and hard molded rubber nose. Springing from the imagination of celebrated science fiction/fantasy author H.G. Wells in 1897, “The Invisible Man” joined Universal’s “gallery of the ghoulish” in James Whale’s 1933 classic. And, as a twist on the old saying goes, you can’t keep a good “creep” down. The unseen fiend returned with four follow-ups in the 1940s before Abbott and Costello met him in 1951, as TV beckoned. At least four action/adventure series began in 1958. But the movies weren’t done with the “concept”. It was mined for laughs in 1983’s The Man Who Wasn’T There...

Leigh Whannell’s The Invisible Man confirms multiple, evident truths. For starters, Universal’s slate of classic monsters isn’t destined for only failed reboots and doomed cinematic worlds. Whannell, while modernizing an unseeable villain, doubles-down on his ability to thrive within Blumhouse’s tight-wallet model. Movies like The Mummy and The Wolfman benefit from healthier studio investment, yet Whannell’s 2020 “shoestring” comparison won’t likewise vanish into obscurity. H.G. Wells’ creation gets a technological makeover with social urgency at its core, ever the chilling representation of in-your-face horrors despite methods that erase terror from plain sight.
Balk not, dear reader. Dread is always looming, lurking, in a triggered adaptation that understands (enough) how we sometimes fail those victims strong enough to speak up for themselves.

The cast of The Invisible Man discuss acting against against a character that isn’t there.
The Invisible Man is an update of the classic tale penned more than 100 years ago by pioneering science fiction writer H.G. Wells, and most memorably brought to the screen before this by director James Whale in 1933. In the new version from writer/director Leigh Whannell (Upgrade), the central character of Cecilia Kass (Elisabeth Moss) has just escaped from an abusive relationship at the hands of the narcissistic and sociopathic Adrian Griffin (Oliver Jackson-Cohen).
Even though Adrian apparently commits suicide following Cecilia’s escape, she soon begins to suspect that her former lover--who was doing groundbreaking work in optic technology before his alleged death--is still alive and has found a way to make himself invisible. Unseen by all, he starts a campaign to methodically destroy the life that Cecilia is just starting...

Finding the next great horror movie within a classic Universal monster? Especially after the quick collapse of the Dark Universe, that wouldn’t have seemed incredibly likely, even just a year or so ago. However, in Blumhouse we trust. In the hands of filmmaker Leigh Whannell and producer Jason Blum, The Invisible Man manages to surprise in all of the best ways. Notably, Whannell not just makes this a timely tale about believing women, he employs one of the best actresses in the business with Elisabeth Moss. That choice alone goes a long way, but almost every single element here works far better than expected. In fact, this may well be the best film of the year so far. Without question, it’s in the top two or three, representing the next fright flick that should not only be a huge hit, but deserves awards attention as well. This film...

The old Universal Horror movies didn’t get much better than James Whale’s “The Invisible Man,” a cackling madman of a film, which followed the horrible misadventures of a scientist who turned himself invisible and wreaked havoc on the world, mostly because he could.
It’s wicked, it’s fun, and in many respects it’s the polar opposite of Leigh Whannell’s absolutely terrifying new reboot, a movie that cares a hell of a lot more about the title villain’s victims than it does about the old invisible bastard.
Whannell’s fiendish reinterpretation of H.G. Wells’ original story casts Elizabeth Moss as Cecilia Kass, a woman who flees her rich, abusive boyfriend at the beginning of the film, and suffers from paranoia and agoraphobia as she struggles to reclaim her life. The only way Cecilia believes Adrian Griffin will ever let her go is if he’s dead,...

In the very first few moments of The Invisible Man (2020), without any exposition or any sort of narrative cues, Leigh Whannell manages to ratchet up the tension to unbearable levels in such a beautifully simplistic way, that I couldn’t help but be in awe of just how effortlessly he had managed to bring us right into the tormented world of Cecilia Kass (Elisabeth Moss), as she desperately attempts to flee her oppressively cruel boyfriend, Adrian Griffin (Oliver Jackson-Cohen), who has cut her off from the rest of the world. Cecilia manages to break free of Adrian and his abuse, but that’s only the beginning of the horrors that await Cecilia as she tries to put the pieces of her life back together here.
Cecilia’s journey takes an abrupt turn when she learns that Adrian has inexplicably killed himself, and left her a hefty portion of his fortune.

The Dark Universe may be dead in the water after the disastrous flop of The Mummy, but Universal and Blumhouse Productions have taken a different and more clever approach to their IPs by letting their various monsters star in their own features, untethered to any cinematic universe.

Wells classic story.

Elisabeth Moss has been in talks to star in the Universal-Blumhouse reboot of The Invisible Man for a bit, and they have finally solidified her involvement. There is no plot yet available, and no one else cast in the film so far, However it was previously rumored that Armie Hammer (Man From U.N.C.L.E.) and Alexander Skarsgard (Tarzan) are up for the male lead.
We do know that this will be a reboot of the original 1933 film, and many of the films and series since then, which were all based on the 1897 H.G. Wells novel. We will have to see how much this new film pulls from the other iterations, but with Moss on the screen, we know they are right on in their casting so far.

It was just a few weeks ago that Armie Hammer denied the rumor that he was in final talks to be the next Batman, making it tempting to approach any fresh reports of similar news with a little more skepticism than usual. Still, That Hashtag Show has a better track record than most for these things, so when they say that the Call Me by Your Name star is one of the top choices for the title role of The Invisible Man, there’s a good chance that the claim has some basis.
Specifically, it’s said that the two current frontrunners for the part are Hammer and True Blood star Alexander Skarsgård. According to the recent report, the role that each actor is gunning for is that of Adrian Griffin – an obvious nod to Dr. Griffin from the original H. G. Wells novel.
