sometimes it's what we can't see that
scares us the most the power to rule to
make the world grovel at my feet
welcome to watchmojo.com ants from the
Invisible Man for this list we're
looking at the most frightening most
intense and most downright chilling
scenes from this modern take on HG Wells
classic sci-fi novel in case you haven't
seen the film yet beware the following
spoilers number 10 raining in the
parking lot after spending a majority of
the film at the mercy of her invisible
stalker Cecilia is finally given a
slight advantage when his suit starts
glitching
it also helps that it's raining in the
parking lot making it easier to spot any
invisible figures in true horror movie
fashion though the rain also contributes
to the dread tension and spooky
atmosphere even in the rain
the invisible figure proves quite
stealthy getting the drop on the
authorities and coming close to
overpowering Cecilia as well the only
thing that saves Cecilia is her
pregnancy but our villain has other ways
of getting to her thinking of Sydney
both Cecilia and the audience are left
with sinking feelings in the pits of
their stomachs
I'm afraid Adrien is gonna do something
to hurt number 9 Sydney gets hit part of
what makes this premise so horrifying is
that you rarely know when the characters
are alone in virtually any scene the
invisible villain could be standing
there waiting to strike you know what I
think we need I think we get kicked out
out in some cake we're thus left on
guard throughout the majority of the
runtime nevertheless the filmmakers
still managed to sneak up on us when we
least expected as Sydney closely
consoles a visibly distressed Cecilia
she suddenly struck by an unseen force
this happened so quickly that Sydney
thinks Cecilia hit her and for a brief
second the audience questions exactly
what just happened - it's a scene that
not only surprises you but also gets
inside your head you need to calm down
you are scaring my daughter now if I
were you I would go to your sister's
place you don't need to be here right
now number eight
stepping on the blanket when an
antagonist is invisible the most subtle
gestures can produce the biggest scares
in a scene reminiscent of paranormal
activity
cecilia is disturbed in the middle of
the night when the blankets are pulled
off the bed by an unseen entity as
Sidney continues to slumber the confused
Cecilia tries to retrieve the covers but
something or someone is seemingly
holding them back the sheets are weighed
down by footprints which creep closer
and closer towards her honestly what's
your ear than being face to face with a
stalker you can't see there's nowhere to
run and nowhere to hide least of all
under the covers right there with
footprints I saw it right there
number seven let's see who this
Invisible Man really is in a heart
pounding climax James and Sydney are
attacked in their home by an Invisible
Man but not necessarily the Invisible
Man with James barely hanging in there
in Sydney in an equally vulnerable
position Cecilia comes to the rescue
with a fire extinguisher in a firearm
she takes out the home invader rendering
his suit visible just when it seems like
the nightmare is over
Cecilia removes the mask to find not
Adrienne but his wormy brother Tom
jinkies it's a clever and unexpected
fake-out making us momentarily question
if Tom was the true criminal mastermind
or a pawn in Adrienne's game of course
Cecilia is convinced that the brothers
were in cahoots but how can she prove it
now
no James that's not right Adrian did
this to me he's not the victim here
number six
locked in the room when Cecilia is
locked up in a mental hospital The
Invisible Man doesn't make his presence
known but she is fully aware that he is
in the cell with her although Adrienne
can't be seen
we definitely sense his haunting
presence as his eyes linger on her with
that in mind an empty corner becomes
much scarier than anything our
imaginations could possibly conjure this
whole portion of the film has the
audience feeling unclean
[Music]
but Cecelia forces her stalker to make a
move upon stepping into the shower
having smuggled Tom's pan into her cell
she prepares to stage a fake suicide
once the invisible enemy intervenes
Cecelia turns the pen into a resourceful
weapon there you are
that is easily one of the smartest plays
in horror movie history number five
don't wake Adrian the film's nail-biting
opening is worthy of Hitchcock wasting
no time with needless exposition
Cecilia's actions say everything is she
leaves her husband in the dead of night
carefully sneaking out of bed and
gathering her belongings
although Adrienne appears down for the
count we nonetheless feel the tension
rising with each step Cecilia takes and
every noise she makes it doesn't help
that the mansion has a dominating
presence especially when Cecilia enters
Adrienne's research lab in the
background are four black figures which
turn out to only be dummies but they
certainly add to the chilling sentiment
that Cecilia isn't alone and someone is
always watching her by the time the
alarm goes off the audience is already
consumed with goosebumps number four
Cecilia's revenge if you want to be a
part of this child's life it has to
start with honesty whereas a lesser
thriller would have ended on an action
set piece the Invisible Man goes the
extra mile with a finale that plays out
like a game of chess
as James listens in on them Cecilia
meets Adrian at their old house while
Adrian is on his best behavior he's not
fooling Cecilia who says she'll only
give him a second chance if he confesses
in his own playfully sick way Adrian
reveals his true colors to her that
shouldn't come as a surprise although we
feared that Adrian might attack Cecilia
throughout the sequence it's ultimately
the other way around stealing a page
from her husband's own playbook Cecilia
slips into an invisible suit she stowed
away and serves Adrian his just desserts
before dinner is even over checkmate
Cecilia
[Music]
number three the hallway fight it's
always satisfying in horror movies when
everyone realizes that the so called
crazy person was right all along the
authorities learn this the hard way as
the invisible suit starts malfunctioning
in front of them this sets the stage for
one of the best and most inventive
hallway fights in modern cinema the
cinematography in particular is put to
impeccable use here almost making it
look as if the action is unfolding from
the invisible man's perspective even
then we don't know when or how the
villain will strike the most intense and
darkly humorous moment finds one cop
confronted by a levitating gun it
appears the Invisible Man might let him
go unscathed which makes it even crueler
when he pulls the trigger anyway
number two the Attic unable to convince
anyone that Adrian's alive
Cecilia calls her supposedly late
husband cell which turns out to be
closer than she thought
during Griffin please leave a message
and I'll get back to you what I can
following the vibrating noise up into
the attic she finds the phone with some
highly unsettling photos on it just as
anxiety inducing the phone then receives
a text message reading surprised even if
you took out the invisible angle this
scene would still feel right at home in
a more grounded psychological thriller
like sleeping with the enemy or fatal
attraction then again without the
element of invisibility it wouldn't be
nearly as shocking when Cecilia pours a
can of paint out of the attic before we

do you know how this place works I'm
assuming you order food then you eat it
pretty much there are rules that almost
all horror movies follow for example
once the monster inevitably attacks
it'll be when someone is alone in either
a suburban or secluded area so as
Cecilia meets her sister Emily in a
crowded restaurant we naturally assume
they're both safe if anything this is
the safest we felt in a while especially
as the sisters begin to reconcile I mean
James actually is a six-foot cop and
he's I think really intimidated by
as a shippi I kick his ass hey this
makes it all of a more jaw-dropping when
a levitating knife slits Emily's throat
with the bloody knife shoved in
Cecilia's hand the audience finally
pieces together Adrienne's master plan
we feel every bit as panicked as Cecilia
as she's restrained by the restaurant
staff line mere feet away from her
deceased sister do you agree with our
