"UNBEARABLY TENSE" AND "CHILLING" HORROR WITH ELISABETH MOSS GETS NEW UK STREAMING HOME
The Invisible Man, the "unbearably tense" and "chilling" horror starring Elisabeth Moss, has found a new streaming home in the UK.
The 2020 film, based on HG Wells's classic 1897 novel of the same name, sees The Handmaid's Tale star portray Cecilia Kass, a woman who has recently come out of an abusive relationship.
As she attempts to move on with her life, Cecilia comes to suspect that she is being stalked by her ex-boyfriend (Oliver Jackson-Cohen), with a deadly game of cat and mouse ensuing as she ponders if he possesses the ability to turn invisible.
Written and directed by Leigh Whannell, the sci-fi horror - which also features Aldis Hodge and Storm Reid in supporting roles - is now available to view on Prime Video in the UK and Ireland, with the film being added to the streamer on Friday (4 July).
In our review, we hailed Whannell's adaptation as a "tense", "terrifying" and "chilling reinvention" of Wells's novel, noting that the central themes made the film feel "timely" and "grounded".

Empire Magazine echoed this sentiment as they dubbed the film "unbearably tense", adding: "[The] subtle approach is incredibly effective, and a reminder of how horror doesn’t always have to be frantic to raise dread."
The Invisible Man was acclaimed by the majority of critics, with the film currently possessing an impressive approval rating of 91% on Rotten Tomatoes from 422 reviews, with Moss's performance being widely lauded.
"Whannell uses stillness and empty spaces against the audience expertly. But it's Moss who most sells this new, self-consciously serious take on a hammy monster movie premise," wrote Newsweek.

"As The Invisible Man pivots from horror to social commentary to action and, finally, to revenge, Moss's performance is what holds the entire film together," noted the Austin Chronicle, while The Australian described her performance as "terrific".
Ahead of the film's release, Moss spoke exclusively with Digital Spy about her penchant for taking "dark" roles, explaining: "I find them really enjoyable and challenging and to me, it's more fun to run around and do crazy shit than to be happy on screen."
The Invisible Man is available to stream on Prime Video.
