A battered women has to deal with her abusive ex-boyfriend who returns to harass her after discovering the secrets of invisibility. You'd think there would be a lot more creative uses for invisibility than torturing your ex, but okay.
Horror movies have always traditionally touched on cultural issues and reflected the times they were made in, but it tends to only be successful when done in a subversive way, not by preaching its agenda to the audience. This film was made at the height of #MeToo and has its sights aimed at abusive high-powered men, which is not immediately the first thing you would expect from this story. I suppose it's a new angle on it, but I hate when a movie gets bogged down by its politics. Almost as if we're supposed to pat ourselves on the back afterwards for agreeing that violence towards women is a bad thing.
