Would’ve been a great time to do a retrospective on Paul Verhoeven’s ‘Hollow Man’

I wish someone would give me a "small budget of 7 million dollars."

It is like that Batman The Animated Series episode when the little girl has an Imaginary Friend called Mojo. And it endes up being the father using a special Tech Suit.

I always appreciate you take the time to talk about the score and the composer on each review. I think movie scores are a very under appreciated part of filmmaking by general audiences

Great film. Like A Quiet Place, it was clever & very intense throughout with the cinema audience being (mostly) silent. One scene in particular had me saying "SHIT!!" & almost jumping out of my seat which was rather embarassing 🤬🤭

Just watched this for the first time tonight as part of a double feature with the 1933 version. Great review, Oliver! You did an excellent job of highlighting what makes it such a great movie. Just one small thing: I was watching with high quality headphones and the cameras on the suit do make barely perceptible noises. We hear it for the first time when Cecily passes the invisible suit in the lab during her escape and I think it's her almost unconscious perception of these very tiny, quiet motors that first makes her suspicious.

The suit apparently gives you enhanced strength too

I'm the Invisible Man, Incredible how you can... see right through me!

The first name of the main character, Cecilia, is derived from the Latin Caecus which means blind or eyeless, Appropriately, she cannot see the Invisible Man. She is frequently called 'C' in the film, which, obviously, is pronounced like 'see.' The opening sequence originally had original music written for it, but Leigh Whannell and the sound design team felt it worked better with silence and the sound of the crashing waves. No actors' names appear at the beginning of the film. The outside wall of the mental institution has a graffiti piece depicting Billy the Puppet, the doll the Jigsaw Killer uses in Saw (2004). Director Leigh Whannell wrote and starred in Saw (2004)

This movie was amazing, though throughout the movie, I just wanted to give Elisabeth Moss' character a hug.

A very short and very sweet review Ollie. Can't wait to see this. Blumhouse are like the Netflix of the film World. I'm hoping to see something about the Spawn reboot / follow on soon. Have you heard anything from the scuttlebutt? Oh yeah, I'm having one hell of a nostalgia trip right now because of the credit roll music, cannot pinpoint what it is, give me a hint please =P

Right now universal pictures and dark universe should greenlight Guillermo Del Toro's take on Frankenstein and the bride of Frankenstein. What do you think?

Please tell me the chair scene from the trailer is in the film. Please.

2:59, i've always said and stated that Blumhouse was the right studio to reinvigorate the Universal Monster Movies way before it was cool to say outloud. Blumhouse has shown Hollywood that its basically a spoil child and its certainly not necessary to make a movie for; $100 or even $200 million dollars. Decades ago some of the best movies of all time where made for so little and made so much box office grosses that inwhich they became the classics they clearly are today thats why! Movies like; Jaws, Star Wars, Alien, Raiders of The Lost Ark, E.T., Ghostbusters, Terminator 2: Judgement Day, Jurassic Park and so on. For the last 25 years, the pure art of making a movie on a small tiny budget and making a massive worldwide grossing film. Has been lost in the era of big blockbusters movies a tad too much methinks!

Love the music from the Superman - Man of Steel Mega Drive game in the end!

Thank you for the review.

Makes me wonder what your thoughts and Opinions are for Hollow-Man, I see it as this under-rated classic that screams "At least they Tried"

MOVIE WAS AWESOMMMEEEE. love you using the hollow man score its an underrated theme

Watched this movie after watching Hollow Man (2000) 6:13 and I'm surprised you are yet to do a review on it.

Do RR for Gremlins 2 - The New Batch & John Carpenter's Elvis

Great film. Lots of suspense and well acted by the lead

Maybe the suit keeps out sound

Hollow Man is a million times better than this crap. Hollywood has been dead since the mid-2000s. I haven't been to the movies in 13 years.

Braveheart retrospective!!!

Hi Oliver. Fancy doing Dark City.

What’s happened to Fix it in post ? All the episodes have vanished from your channel ????

I wonder what the next dark universe movie will be I also agree the mummy was a terrible one to start it back on with

SPOILER - wouldn’t it have been better if the boyfriend was actually dead and it was just the brother the whole time? Make her commit a crime so HE gets the money because that was part of the condition of the will. The last 10 or 15 min were superfluous.

If you know the trailers are revealing why are you showing clips in the video? So Many key moments are shown.

The original 1933 version will always be the superior version! But I will admit, this remake was good!

As a sidenote, Oliver, just wondering if you'd seen this SNL sketch with Christopher Reeve as himself auditioning for Superman. With Jim Belushi as Richard Donner! One to show Mark O'Connell? kzfaq.info/get/bejne/pM-ZgbN5m5q8pmg.html

I've seen it twice already. Excellent movie. SPOILERS: the scenes in the psychiatric ward sometimes reminded me of 'Terminator 2: Judgment Day'. I love the soundtrack, especially the track in the restaurant, which continues when she is hospitalized. Btw: Elisabeth Moss reminds me a bit of Sheryl Lee.

Loved the first half but disappointed by the bombastic music in the second half

hmmm don't agree on the lead actress. personal thing i guess, but i frankly don't think she's very good at all. just rehashes her same character in everything she does regardless of the subject matter being worlds apart you can always predict her character. she's exactly the same in everything.

Completely unappealing, IMO. Just a another suspence movie with an unusual thematic. Well done, but it has nothing of the invisible man image and curiosity that the invisibility issue would prompt from the point of view of the subject rather than the people around him. On the contrary it is quite absurd, IMO, that such a scientifically unlikely event is displayed as a horror stimulus, without any development of the technicalities that brought to the guy becoming invisible... all the problems and possibilities that would spin around it. Very deluding. Just a ghost/poltergeist-like story... Hollow Man and the previous, original, Invisible Man were by far more entertaining IMO. A further epitome of the Hollywood's dead fantasy and storytelling capabilities. Dunnow why it reminds me of Misery, with the main character victim instead of executioner... lol

A low budget, good, simple story and no political/SJW/Trump/Brexit message = SUCCESS!!!

Gosh the Dark Universe was such a fail. I wish they would remake Dracula and Mummy movies as R rated movies. The wanna be Marvel style was downright embarrassing.

I thought this movie sucked

But Hollow Man is the best one.

I disagree with you about the technology angle, I think using some kinda hi-tech suit just opens up waaaay more questions about how the fuck that thing works than just, eh, it's a magic potion.

The film started to fall apart from the moment they read the will. I know it is a si fi horror however nothing is believable. We can overlook some plot holes or illogical things so the story can flow.But events, the way characters act are so unbelievable all the way though the film that The film was rather frustrating than thrilling.

How is this a review? You just retell the story

Everything about this sounds terrible. I still prefer the tom cruise mummy over this. At least that is rooted in the original universal monster source material. This invisible man is a joke. Its not true to the univseral source material or the book! As a stand alone .... something it works. But it should not be marketed as a universal monster film. Not in any way The universal monster universe needs to be gothic horror

I'm sure it is a good movie but I'll pass. Saw it with Kevin Bacon already called Hallow Man

This movie was good. But Liz Moss, I don't know.

Both me & my friend saw this last weekend. Personally, neither of us enjoyed it.

No. What is wrong worh you!!!!!!? I've never been more disappointed in what is pretending to be a universal monster film. Or in a review. I've liked every review you've done. This is the first where I'm just blown away by how off it is. Its depressing because the more people think like you the more they may pursue this trash and we will never get the proper gothic horror these films should be. I'd rather see Clive Barker make these

This film was BS

Nope. This movie is absolutely terrible.

Just Watched It & What A Quality Film IT WAS!!! Everything IS Brilliant Acting/Story/Light/Directed etc!!! Cheers

Jarring score that didnt fit the movie..No explanation on who/why he ws making this suit, and a thrown in he commited suicide plot with no explanation why...Terrible moive..

It was a good movie and I was worried it would be overly feminist in nature, thankfully there are only hints of it and not enough to ruin the movie.

this movie is just dumb. the actions of the main characters make no sense on so many levels and the audience is just forced to watch everyone being stupid

There you go, Hollywood. Modest budget, good script, great performances, no horrible wokeness and a director who's allowed to get on with it without studio interference and, guess what? It makes load of money. Watch and learn Hollywood, watch and learn.

Please Oliver, be careful about how much of the movies plot you spoil in your reviews!

I like the movie, but it was predictable. I knew the end long before it happens, and many other parts that where coming.

Ew, upgrade? Good concept, but had the depth of a outer limits episode.

who pay you for saying all this Oliver? this movie is generic forgettable and boring!! i guess you need money to keep up your channel.

The enjoyed the movie but the woke ending sucked.
