Elisabeth Moss talks about exploring abuse from a female perspective in our exclusive clip for The Invisible Man. Written and directed by Leigh Whannell, the film stars Moss as a young woman who gradually comes to believe her abusive ex-boyfriend (Oliver Jackson-Cohen), a wealthy scientist, has found a way to become invisible and is stalking her after his supposed suicide. A re-invention of the classic Universal horror franchise (itself, was based on H.G. Wells’ 1897 novel), The Invisible Man was praised by critics for its timely subject matter and genuinely scary filmmaking, in addition to Moss’ compelling performance.
After releasing on streaming early in March due to the coronavirus pandemic, The Invisible Man is now available to watch on Digital, and only recently premiered on 4K Ultra HD, Blu-ray, and DVD. As Universal continues to promote the movie’s physical release this week, we have a behind the scenes clip to share.
In Screen Rant’s exclusive The Invisible Man clip, Moss talks about her character’s emotional journey in the film and how the script by Whannell explores topics like abuse and gaslighting from a feminine perspective. Take a look, below.
Contrary to its title, The Invisible Man is (as Moss points out during this video) is really the story of “a woman who is finding herself” and is clever in the way it uses the metaphor of a literally invisible man to illustrate how real-life abusive relationships work. It’s the latest example of Whannell turning to the horror genre to make real-world issues more tangible and easier for an audience to understand, much like his scripts for the Insidious movies employ fantastical concepts (like The Further and demons) to explore complicated topics like mental illness and emotional trauma. Moss further praises Whannell in this clip for his collaborative nature and his willingness to talk about The Invisible Man‘s subject matter in depth with her throughout its development.
The Invisible Man‘s physical release includes similar clips that go behind the scenes on the production, in addition to multiple deleted scenes and a feature commentary by Whannell.
