Leigh Whannell might not be a household name for the average movie-goer, but he has had a hand in some of the most iconic mainstream horror franchises of the 00’s. He wrote and helped create both the Saw and Insidious movies. In the last few years, Whannell has ventured into directing, showing great promise with 2018’s woefully underseen sci fi actioner Upgrade. With Upgrade, and now The Invisible Man, Whannell seems to be carving out a niche as a writer/director who makes thrillers that fall into Black Mirror territory, namely, stories involving slightly futuristic, yet feasible, technology that somehow goes wrong.
