Elisabeth Moss, The Invisible Man
After Universal’s Dark Universe crumpled in on itself, The Invisible Man revitalized the studio’s hopes for its iconic horror franchise. A smart story update put the focus not on the monster, but on the monster’s target, with Moss as the ex-girlfriend he’ll do anything to control, though she soon proves she’s nowhere near as fragile as he thought. The film managed to bring a timely urgency to its familiar sci-fi story, with the formidable Moss leading the charge through all the gaslighting and dirty fighting.
