Blumhouse’s The Invisible Man rated R for strong bloody violence

Blumhouse and SAW and INSIDIOUS writer Leigh Whannell's reboot of THE INVISIBLE MAN with Elisabeth Moss is set to reach theatres next month. And today we've learned that the MPAA has slapped the film with an R-rating for "some strong bloody violence, and language."

Thank God!

Personally, I'm loving the look of the flick as it really seems to be going the gritty "is she, or is she not crazy?" route that the synopsis (see below) teases. I love this approach and can't wait to see the final product! How about you? Let us know below!

THE HAUNTING OF HILL HOUSE star Oliver Jackson-Cohen plays the title role and the flick costars Aldis Hodge, Harriet Dyer, and Storm Reid.

It follows this synopsis:

What you can’t see can hurt you. Emmy winner Elisabeth Moss (Us, The Handmaid’s Tale) stars in a terrifying modern tale of obsession inspired by Universal’s classic monster character.  Trapped in a violent, controlling relationship with a wealthy and brilliant scientist, Cecilia Kass (Moss) escapes in the dead of night and disappears into hiding, aided by her sister (Harriet Dyer, NBC’s The InBetween), their childhood friend (Aldis Hodge, Straight Outta Compton) and his teenage daughter (Storm Reid, HBO’s Euphoria). But when Cecilia’s abusive ex (Oliver Jackson-Cohen, Netflix’s The Haunting of Hill House) commits suicide and leaves her a generous portion of his vast fortune, Cecilia suspects his death was a hoax. As a series of eerie coincidences turns lethal, threatening the lives of those she loves, Cecilia’s sanity begins to unravel as she desperately tries to prove that she is being hunted by someone nobody can see.

Blumhouse's THE INVISIBLE MAN is written and directed by Leigh Whannell who is also executive producing. Jason Blum produces with Kylie du Fresne for Goalpost Pictures in association with Nervous Tick, for Universal Pictures. INVISIBLE MAN is set to reach theatres on February 28, 2020
