10 Best Sci-Fi Horror Movies Of The 2020's (So Far)

Leigh Whannell's reimagining of HG Wells novel follows an architect called Cecilia Kass (Elizabeth Moss) who finds herself being stalked by her supposedly dead husband, Adrian Griffin (Oliver Jackson-Cohen). Just to make matters worse, Griffin has found a way to turn himself invisible.

Cecilia's incorporeal stalker uses his newfound powers, not just to attack his wife physically, but emotionally. He turns Cecilia's friends against her, tarnishes her reputation, and compels her to question her sanity. He gaslights her with such flawless precision, nobody believes Cecilia when she claims her partner is abusing her, which is disturbingly relatable in this day and age.

The idea of a mad scientist turning himself invisible may sound outdated, but the film does a superb job at giving the story a modern twist without compromising the source material.

Moss gives the performance of her career, serving as the movie's emotional anchor. Watching Cecilia transition from a damsel in distress to an adaptable heroine in such a believable way is incredible to bear witness to.

Even though trailer appears spoiler-heavy and some elements seem predictable, The Invisible Man has plenty of twists and turns that are sure to throw off anybody.

Since the titular villain can't be seen, the film doesn't need to rely on darkness or telegraphed scares to be frightening, which is refreshing. In fact, the most shocking scare (and one of the best of the decade) happens in a brightly lit room with no build-up whatsoever, which is sure to give the most seasoned horror veterans the fright of their lives.

As ironic as it sounds, The Invisible Man is one sci-fi horror that needs to be seen by everybody.
