The Invisible Man (2020) — A Review

1st May, 2020.

It has to be said, it’s not often I watch a movie, these days.

Why?

I wish I knew for sure.

The length of some films, though?

Is something I find intimidating.

I’d not be sitting through episodes of Jackson’s The Lord of the Rings, again.

Three hours a pop is a bit much.

Perils of ageing, I think.

At any rate … ?

I’ve seen a movie: the 2020, Leigh Whannell directed, Elisabeth Moss film, The Invisible Man.

Which is just over two hours long, in case you wondered.

Hmmmm …

The Babadook: Wow!

2nd March, 2015.

OK …  

Do you believe the hype?

No, that’s a fairly honest question, there.

Do you believe that, if you hear something getting talked about — very favourably — that it’s something you should have a look at?

Or are you, like me, who’s prepared to take the hype with a pinch or two of salt?

I think that, at my age, a pinch of salt is usually worth having.

Sometimes, though … ?

Sometimes, it turns out favourable hype — or favourable word-of-mouth — turns out to be justified.

The film I’ve just sat and watched, tonight?

Was the 2014, Jennifer Kent directed film, The Babadook.

And yes … 

‘Wow’ is justified.   I think we can believe the hype about The Babadook.
