We’ve known for quite some time that Leigh Whannell‘s new take on The Invisible Man stars “The Haunting of Hill House’s” Oliver Jackson-Cohen as the title character and abusive boyfriend who, after turning invisible, stalks Elisabeth Moss‘ Cecilia.

Now, Bloody Disgusting was able to get the film’s full synopsis that reveals quite a bit more information:

“What you can’t see can hurt you.

“Emmy winner Elisabeth Moss (Us, Hulu’s “The Handmaid’s Tale”) stars in a terrifying modern tale of obsession inspired by Universal’s classic monster character.

“Trapped in a violent, controlling relationship with a wealthy and brilliant scientist, Cecilia Kass (Moss) escapes in the dead of night and disappears into hiding, aided by her sister (Harriet Dyer), their childhood friend (Aldis Hodge) and his teenage daughter (Storm Reid).

“But when Cecilia’s abusive ex (Oliver Jackson-Cohen) commits suicide and leaves her a generous portion of his vast fortune, Cecilia suspects his death was a hoax. As a series of eerie coincidences turns lethal, threatening the lives of those she loves, Cecilia’s sanity begins to unravel as she desperately tries to prove that she is being hunted by someone nobody can see.“

As you can see, the new take basks in heavy social commentary, while also presenting the concept of being haunted by someone who isn’t dead. Leigh Whannell, who shocked us all with his screenplays for Saw, Insidious, and even Upgrade, is the right kind of filmmaking mind to put a new spin on this classic monster story.

Currently behind cameras, The Invisible Man stalks audiences on February 28, 2020.
