“The Invisible Man” (** out of four) was a hollow sci/fi-horror adaptation of H.G. Wells’ famous novel and the 1933 original about a woman (Elisabeth Moss) whose abusive husband takes his own life but she subsequently starts noticing strange occurrences in her life and begins to lose her sanity trying to convince all around her that she is being stalked by a ghost whom no one can see. Creepy and eerie at times but otherwise film treads on all-too-familiar territory and starts to become tiresome and predictable after a while. Some scares at beginning and film’s end make it watchable but that still doesn’t mean you shouldn’t just re-watch the original.
