I watched the 2020 movie The Invisible Man on Netflix on the weekend, and it's very good.
I kept thinking it's a mash up of #MeToo, Marvel-esque "hi tech in the wrong hands", and ghost story (invisible presence in the house). But it worked for me. Most of all, it's the suspense that works well - lots of good directorial decisions as to swapping between point of view and other neat ideas.
It also has a terrific plot surprise that I did not see coming at all. (Ha, I just realised that sounds like a pun on the title, but it wasn't intended as such.)
Now, without ruining my general praise for the movie - I think the ending was bold, and a bit confronting, and perhaps not set up as being as well justified as it could have been. But I still like that the director (who also wrote the movie) and studio went with it. It's the sort of ending it's possible to have decent discussion about afterward.
Anyway, I strongly recommend it.
