I feel like Blumhouse tends to be hit and miss, and versions of monsters of a bygone era also tend to be hit and miss, so I really wasn't sure what to expect with this. I must say, I was pleasantly surprised.

Elisabeth Moss carried her own and then some. The supporting cast did a good job, but at the end of the day she was tasked with some pretty intense solo scenes. The hard part here was that she had to perform those scenes at times while dealing with an invisible foe. And she did so rather impressively.

If you're interested in a modern twist on a classic tale, this is for you.

As another reviewer pointed out ( @Dean, I believe), this immediately reminded me of @Sleeping with the Enemy (1991) - but that makes sense as they're both about controlling, abusive husbands.

I never really cared one way or the other about Elisabeth Moss, however having enjoyed her performance in @The Kitchen (2019), I was very much looking forward to seeing what she could do with this movie - and she did not disappoint; she was entirely believable as the terrified, battered wife. And it was SO FRUSTRATING when other characters didn't believe her.

The concept is terrifying when you think about it - that an abuser has figured out how to be invisible in order to continue the abuse? *shudder* That alone is horror enough.
