Boring boring boring!!! Struggled my way through this! As a massive fan of hollow man with kevin bacon I was really looking forward to this movie looking at some of the other reviews which were hit and miss...however this is Invisible man on a budget, the production and the direction is awful, when the 'Invisible man ' is in the same shot as other characters, it sounds like he's in a completely different room...like a sound booth! The special effects are at most average, The movie is well over acted....some of the character's accents sound extremely forced. Extremely poor throughout. Would give this a wide birth.
Plot summary
A young British widow shelters an old medical school colleague, a man who has somehow turned himself invisible. As his isolation grows and his sanity frays, he schemes to create a reign of wanton murder and terror across the city.

1hr 40m I'll never get back!
Didn't have much to offer really...
Needless to say that I had actually never heard about this 2023 thriller titled "Fear the Invisible Man" prior to sitting down to watch it. And I had no idea what I was in for here, so I have to admit that I wasn't really harboring much of any expectations. Which, in turn, meant that director Paul Dudbridge had every opportunity to impress and entertain me.
However, the storyline in "Fear the Invisible Man", as written by Philip Daay, Helena Gergelova and Monika Gergelova was sort of mundane, bland and rather uneventful. And for a thriller, that doesn't exactly spell top notch entertainment. The movie was sort of lacking a drive, and it felt like director Paul Dudbridge was just filming the thing whilst still in neutral gear.
Yet, I still managed to sit through all 100 minutes that the movie ran for, though I have to say that I was not really particularly entertained by what transpired on the screen.
I wasn't familiar with the cast ensemble, except for actor David Hayman (playing Wicksteed), and he was barely in the movie at all. The acting performances in the movie were actually fair enough, despite the fact that the actors and actresses had surprisingly little to work with in terms of script, dialogue and characters.
Visually, however, then I will say that the CGI effects in the movie were actually surprising good for a movie of this type. And while the movie didn't make a lot of use of special effects, whatever effects were there were actually helping to make the movie a bit more interesting.
"Fear the Invisible Man" is not a movie that I will ever return to watch a second time, as there was hardly sufficient contents to support this first viewing. Nor is it a movie that I will recommend to fans of the thriller genre.
My rating of "Fear the Invisible Man" lands on a three out of ten stars.
This movie is for H. G. Wells fans
Thank you for this movie (to Paul Dudbridge - as I just discovered him).
I enjoyed it a lot!
As fan of invisible man (H. G. Wells character) I looked for every movie ever done - form classics to contemporary (I enjoyed "Memoirs of an Invisible Man" so much), so, I looked forward for a new movie... this one is a pleasant surprise!!
It has the atmosphere, the invisibility, the decor and most of it... the language.
Of course... is not a 200 million budget movie, but there are moments I forgot that! Good job!
I encourage the producer and the director to go ahead with "Invisible Woman".
I encourage Amazon Prime to put it on the streaming platform - you won't regret it!!
H. G. Wells fans - you won't regret this film as well...it's a hidden gem!
