The Invisible Man 2020



     The horror movie genre is a sort after genre. It's ability to instill fear despite being an act is quite commendable. 

Cast

Elizabeth Moss, Oliver Jackson Cohen,Aldis Hodge, Storm Reid,Harriet Dyer, Micheal Dorman.

     The invisible man was a break from the norm of regular horror story. With horror movies and haunting, you would expect the presence of a malevolent spirit, but the case was quite different. It takes a look at the life of an abusive woman who must do what she can to escape her abuser; her husband.

 

    A suicide case turns to a haunting case, as the "spirit" of her husband comes knocking. With the lives of loved ones on the line, she races against time to prove her innocence and sanity.

     The main actress Elizabeth Moss who starred as Cecilia Kass  was impeccable in her acting. Her facial expressions were dead on as they accurately depicted what she was going through at different stages. Though the movie leaned on a feminist level, it was a strong motivation to not stay in an abusive relationship. Oliver Jackson Cohen (Adrian) also delivered perfectly. Sending out psychopathic vibe throughout the movie.


     The supporting acts were also on que and delivered accordingly. I could feel their fear and anger. The directing was also amazing, as the intense kept building up to the very end.

     This remake was definitely worth it, though it wasn't the continuation of the initial storyline. Popular rating sites like Rotten Tomatoes and Metacritic were on the favourable side as they gave  positive reviews of up to 90percent. The movie was a box office hit with a budget as low as 9million it grossed above 100million.

I'll recommend this anytime. Also try watching it at night, it makes the feeling more intense.

TELENOVELAS IN RETROSPECT

Despite our various tribes and culture, there will always be something that links each and everyone of us together. Be it The UEFA Champions League, NBA's, Grammy's, Oscars. In that moment, we are not people of different cultures or tribes, we are one in thoughts. Before Zeeworld became a thing, Mexican telenovelas were already a hit. AIT and Galaxy made it their purpose to unite Nigerians with their novelas. So today, as a form of throwback, we take a look at some of those series that glued people to their seats. Those series that made people dismiss from fellowships early, and led to  neighbors being closer.  11. The Woman Of My Life (1998) La Mujer de mi Vida     A woman is blamed for the death of her husband after the murder weapon was found in her hands (okay, no offence, but if you find your partner dead, kindly weep from afar, don't go touching him or the murder weapon). She definitely goes through the impossible to prove her innocence. There's als...

SPIES IN DISGUISE

Unbird me now! The Spies in Disguise- which is also Will Smith's second animation is a brilliant piece of work. Cast Will Smith (Lance Sterling), Tom Holland (Walter Beckett), Rashida Jones (Marcy Kappel), Ben Mendelsohn (Robotic arm Villain), DJ Khalid (Ears), Reba Mac in tire (Joy Jerkins).       The story centers around a genius kid- Walter who has no social life but a talent for  inventing non-dangerous spy equipment. He feels there is a less violent way to save the World and seeks the help of the world's best Spy- Lance Sterling (Will Smith) in order to achieve this. But we must keep in mind that all change is hard at the beginning, messy at the middle and eventually beautiful at the end.       Okay, enough plot for now. Down to analysis. The flow between the two actors, Will Smith and Tom Holland was apt. Despite not seeing each other over the course of the 2 years which the film was being produced. The voicing from the ac...
