The Invisible

A lady friend of mine said I reminded her of the lead character in this remake of the 2002 Swedish film OSYNLIGE, DEN and I don't think she meant it as a compliment! Mind you, I can certainly relate to being a dude who is ignored by those around him but that is an entirely different horror story for another day. With THE INVISIBLE we have a theme we've seen all too many times before....person is dead..or are they...and they can't figure out or rectify what is wrong with their situation. The thing that makes it interesting is the direction of David S. Goyer who we know from the BLADE and BATMAN films and his deft touches allow this standard bit of teenage spookiness raise slightly above the average fare. As Goyer is best when he's scripting we actually get some half decent dialogue here and there are a few twists and jumpers to satisfy even the most jaded of horror fans.
