Invisible Man
Some of Ellison's influences had a more direct impact on his novel as when Ellison divulges this, in his introduction to the 30th anniversary of Invisible Man, that the "character" ("in the dual sense of the word") who had announced himself on his page he "associated, ever so distantly, with the narrator of Dostoevsky's Notes From Underground". Although, despite the "distantly" remark, it appears that Ellison used that novella more than just on that occasion. The beginning of Invisible Man, for example, seems to be structured very similar to Notes from Underground: "I am a sick man" compared to "I am an invisible man".

The Invisible Man is a 2020 science fiction horror film written and directed by Leigh Whannell. Inspired by H. G. Wells' novel of the same name, it stars Elisabeth Moss as a woman who believes she is being stalked and gaslit by her seemingly deceased ex-boyfriend (Oliver Jackson-Cohen) after he acquires the ability to become invisible. Aldis Hodge, Storm Reid, Harriet Dyer, and Michael Dorman appear in supporting roles.
Cecilia, accompanied by James, meets with Tom. She believes that Adrian faked his death and used his optics expertise to become invisible in order to torment her, but this idea is rebuffed. Later, Sydney is hit by an unseen force while comforting Cecilia; assuming that Cecilia did it and is becoming unbalanced, she and James leave. Alone at the house, Cecilia tries various tactics to catch the figure she believes hit Sydney. She finds Adrian's phone in the attic, on which she immediately receives a text saying "surprise". Cecilia dumps paint down the attic trap door and it coats a previously invisible figure. A violent struggle ensues but she escapes. She goes to Adrian's home to investigate his lab, where she finds an additional invisible bodysuit, confirming her suspicions. Right after she hides the suit in their former bedroom's closet, the invisible figure attacks again, so she flees and contacts Emily. The pair meet at a restaurant, where the invisible figure slits Emily's throat and places the knife in Cecilia's hand, framing her for murder.
While awaiting trial, Cecilia is remanded to a psychiatric hospital, where she learns she is pregnant. Tom offers to get her charges dropped if she agrees to "return to him" and raise the child, implying that Tom helped stage his brother's suicide. He reveals Adrian tampered with her birth control to impregnate her. Cecilia refuses the offer and steals a fountain pen from him. That night she attempts suicide and lures out the invisible figure. When the figure tries to stop her, she stabs him repeatedly with the pen, causing the suit to malfunction. The security team arrives, but the figure incapacitates them before fleeing the hospital, with Cecilia in pursuit. To protect her unborn child, the figure instead threatens to attack those she loves.
"Being invisible and without substance, a disembodied voice, as it were, what else could I do? What else but try to tell you what was really happening when your eyes were looking through? And it is this which frightens me:
Parents need to know that The Invisible Man is officially a remake of the classic 1933 Universal monster movie (based on an H.G. Wells story) but is an almost entirely new blend of sci-fi and horror. Expect intense violence: Women are punched, dragged, and thrown by invisible forces; throats are sliced (with spurting blood); a man is beaten relentlessly with more blood, guns, and shooting; characters die; and more. Language includes uses of "f--k," "motherf----r," and "ass." Characters are dosed with Diazepam (an anxiety drug that causes drowsiness), and a bottle of champagne is shown, followed by characters saying they have hangovers. Sex isn't an issue, but a married couple is shown sleeping in bed, and a woman is said to be pregnant. There are a few story flaws, but the production is excellent overall, with an interesting female lead.
In THE INVISIBLE MAN, Cecilia (Elisabeth Moss) creeps out of bed, leaving behind her sleeping, drugged boyfriend, Adrian (Oliver Jackson-Cohen), and sneaks away from his Stinson Beach mansion. Staying with friends -- police officer James (Aldis Hodge) and his teen daughter, Sydney (Storm Reid) -- Cecilia worries that the abusive, controlling Adrian will come after her. But before long she learns that Adrian is dead, having taken his own life. Soon accidents and other strange things start happening, and as they become more serious, Cecilia begins to suspect that Adrian is somehow not dead and is able to make himself invisible. However, convincing anyone of that scenario proves difficult, especially when all the evidence of a brutal murder points toward Cecilia.
With this updated take on the H.G. Wells tale, writer-director Leigh Whannell has done just about everything right, delivering a tense, clever thriller with touches of both horror and sci-fi. Officially a remake of James Whale's classic 1933 Universal monster movie, this version of The Invisible Man retains the idea of the invisible person being murderously psychotic but combines it with paranoid, "falsely accused" touches right out of Alfred Hitchcock or Fritz Lang. Whannell (Insidious: Chapter 3, Upgrade) uses a wide-screen frame to brilliant effect, creating suspense with large, empty spaces and with red herrings, such as mannequins or creepy sculptures.
The 1933 incarnation is given the first name Jack, and unlike the novel version, Griffin had a more sympathetic background. He was a researcher working in food preservation and fell in love with his employer's, Dr. Cranley's daughter Flora. Determined to prove himself both a successful researcher and good husband material for Flora, Griffin tests with a dangerous chemical called monocane, eventually discovering the formula for making living beings invisible. However, his applications of the formula to himself drive him to insanity. Not wanting anyone to see him turn invisible, he sought refuge in an inn so he could think of a way to cure himself. However, upon receiving pressure from the owners and the authorities, combined with the side effects of the invisibility formula, Jack went on a violent rampage throughout the city.
Jack seeks aid for a megalomaniacal plot to create invisible armies from Kemp who refuses. Unlike in the novel, Griffin succeeds in killing Kemp by forcing his car to crash down a hill. He is pursued and fatally shot while trying to escape. He later dies in the hospital, apologizing for his actions and noting "I meddled in things man must leave alone." With his final breath, his body becomes once again visible. 041b061a72
