A ghost thriller about youngsters for youngsters, where absolutely nothing works as intended. David Goyer’s half-witted direction was still bearable in Blade: Trinity, which did not pretend to be anything more than dumb fun. The Invisible, however, wants to be a serious, tense and emotionally devastating drama, and it fails on all counts, arousing only bitterness, disbelief and sometimes a condescending smile. The film’s production values are solid; it’s no cheap B-movie and Justin Chatwin is full of youthful charm (he also gets much more space than in the “technical” War of the Worlds), but Goyer buries it all. It’s movies like these that make one appreciate the art of good direction... Instead of this, go watch the emotionally effective Butterfly Effect or the atmospheric and intriguing Donnie Darko.

An undemanding, mysterious little movie aimed mostly at a teenage audience. An interesting premise, a straightforward and predictable script, a clichéd and kitschy climax – it’s all there and it’s quite nice to watch. The actors are decent for the standards of the teenage genre, but the direction is so uninteresting that devalues any hint of atmosphere or dramatic depth, and they could have cut out a lot more. 60%

A suspenseful film with an interesting premise, where the concept of someone being unseen is well executed. There's no forced walking through people here; there's an interesting moment where the character thinks they're influencing their surroundings, but it's not actually happening. It's a pity that things are repeated too often, making the film gradually lose its charm. Goyer directed a pleasant mainstream suspenseful film that at least deserves that slight edge above average in the ratings.
