Film No. 41 (2020) July 19th. 2:30 PM PALACE Raine Square, Perth City.
"Adrian is not dead, he has figured a way to be invisible. He wants to control me". (Cecelia tries to convince sister Emily that she is not safe. Begging for someone to believe her).
For a time I was thinking that this 2020 version of T.I.M was another Marvel franchise film. Nothing could be further from my initial assumption. In this version our man does not use his powers for the greater good of mankind. This story is a low budget horror/thriller but plays as a big budget indi potboiler. Leigh Whannell, known better for the writing of Saw, writes and directs this film, a film full of tension and a dash of slash. Elizabeth Moss plays Cecilia Kass, our hero who is in a toxic relationship with sociopath Adrian Griffin (Oliver Jackson-Cohen), a wonder boy inventor and entrepreneur. We meet Cecilia on the eve she has decided to escape her repressed life from the compound that doubles as Adrian's home. Wonderboy is never going to be happy and there is a twist or two with his obsession with Cecilia. More importantly he needs to teach "his girl" a lesson using his very latest innovation. You can guess the rest. Cecilia has a few tricks up her sleeve, and we can see her sleeve! 8GUMS.
