  • Sometimes it's what we can't see that scares us the most.

  • The power to rule to make the World grovel at My feet.

  • Welcome to watch Mojo.

  • And today we're counting down our picks for the top 10 Scariest moments from The Invisible Man.

  • For this list, we're looking at the most frightening, most intense and most downright chilling scenes from this modern take on H.

  • G.

  • Wells classic sci fi novel.

  • In case you haven't seen the film yet, do you wear the following spoilers?

  • Jane number 10.

  • Reining in the parking lot After spending a majority of the film at the mercy of her invisible stalker, Cecilia is finally given a slight advantage when his suit starts glitch ing.

  • It also helps that it's raining in the parking lot, making it easier to spot any invisible figures.

  • In true horror movie fashion, though, the rain also contributes to the dread, tension and spooky atmosphere.

  • Even in the rain, the invisible figure proves quite stealthy, getting the drop on the authorities and coming close to overpowering Cecilia as well.

  • The only thing that saved Sicilia is her pregnancy, but our villain has other ways of getting to her thinking of Sydney.

  • Both Cecilia and the audience are left with sinking feelings in the pits of their stomachs.

  • Right now, I'm afraid Adrian is gonna do something to her.

  • Number nine Sydney gets hit.

  • Part of what makes this premise so horrifying is that you rarely know when the characters are alone.

  • In virtually any scene, the invisible villain could be standing there waiting to strike.

  • You know what I think we need?

  • Um, I think we get kicked out out in Have a Little Girl's Night.

  • It's working were thus left on guard throughout the majority of the runtime.

  • Nevertheless, the filmmakers still managed to sneak up on us when we least expect it.

  • As Sydney closely consoles a visibly distressed Cecilia, she suddenly struck by an unseen force.

  • This happened so quickly that Sydney think Cecilia hitter, and for a brief second, the audience questions exactly what just happened to.

  • It's a scene that not only surprises you but also gets inside your head.

  • You need to calm down.

  • You're scaring my daughter.

  • If I were you, I would go to his sister's place.

  • You don't need to be here right now.

  • Number eight stepping on the blanket when an antagonist is invisible, the most subtle gestures can produce the biggest scares.

  • In a scene reminiscent of paranormal activity, Cecilia is disturbed in the middle of the night when the blankets are pulled off the bed by an unseen entity.

  • As Sydney continues to slumber, the confused Cecilia tries to retrieve the covers, but something or someone is seemingly holding them back.

  • The sheets are weighed down by footprints, which creep closer and closer towards her.

  • Honestly, what's cheerier than being face to face with a stalker you can't see, there's nowhere to run and nowhere to hide, least of all under the covers.

  • Right there, right there.

  • There were footprints.

  • I saw it.

  • Yes, I saw the sheets.

  • I thought, Right there.

  • Number seven.

  • Let's see who this invisible man really is.

  • In a heart pounding climax.

  • Jeans and Sydney are attacked in their home by an invisible man, but not necessarily the invisible man.

  • With James barely hanging in there and city in an equally vulnerable position, Cecilia comes to the rescue with a fire extinguisher and a firearm.

  • She takes out the home invader, rendering his suit visible.

  • Just when it seems like the nightmare's over.

  • Cecilia removes the mask to find not Adrian but his war me brother, Tom Jinkies.

  • It's a clever and unexpected fake out, making us momentarily question if Tom was the true criminal mastermind or upon an Adrian's game.

  • Of course, Cecilia is convinced that the brothers were in cahoots.

  • But how can she prove it now?

  • Now, James, That's not right.

  • Adrian did this to me.

  • He is not the victim here.

  • Number six locked in the room when Cecilia is locked up in a mental hospital.

  • The Invisible Man doesn't make his presence known, but she is fully aware that he is in the cell with her.

  • Although Adrian can't be seen, we definitely sends his haunting presence as his eyes linger on her.

  • With that in mind, an empty corner becomes much scarier than anything our imaginations could possibly conjure.

  • This whole portion of the film has the audience feeling unclean, but Cecilia forces her stalker to make a move Upon stepping into the shower, having smuggled Tom's pan into her cell, she prepares to stage a fake suicide.

  • Once the invisible enemy intervenes, Cecilia turns the pen into a resourceful weapon that is easily one of the smartest plays in horror movie history.

  • Number five Don't Wake Adrian.

  • The film's nail biting opening is worthy of Hitchcock Wasting no time with needless exposition.

  • Cecilia's actions say everything as she leaves her husband in the dead of night, carefully sneaking out of bed and gathering her belongings.

  • Although Adrian appears down for the count, we nonetheless feel the tension rising with each step Cecilia takes and every noise she makes.

  • It doesn't help that the mansion has a dominating presence, especially when Cecilia enters Adrian's research lab in the background or four black figures, which turned out to only be dummies.

  • But they certainly add to the chilling sentiment that Cecilia isn't alone and someone is always watching her.

  • By the time the alarm goes off, the audience is already consumed with goose bumps.

  • Number four.

  • Cecilia's Revenge.

  • If he wanted to be a part of this child's life, it has to start with honesty.

  • Whereas a lesser thriller would have ended on an action set piece, The Invisible Man goes the extra mile with a finale that plays out like a game of chess.

  • As James listens in on them, Cecilia meets Adrian at their old house while Adrian is on his best behavior.

  • He's not fooling Cecilia, who says she'll only give him a second chance if he confesses in his own playfully sick way, Adrian reveals his true colors to her.

  • That shouldn't come surprise, although we fear that Adrian Light attack Cecilia throughout the sequence.

  • It's ultimately the other way around.

  • Stealing a page from her husband's own playbook, Cecilia slips into an invisible suit.

  • She stowed away and serves Adrian his just desserts before dinner is even over.

  • Checkmate, Cecilia.

  • All right, Number three.

  • The Hallway Fight?

  • No, it's always satisfying in horror movies when everyone realizes that the so called crazy person was right all along.

  • The authorities learned this the hard way as the invisible suit starts malfunctioning in front of them.

  • This sets the stage for one of the best and most inventive hallway fights in modern cinema.

  • Lay down, you there, leg down.

  • He's theme cinematography, in particular, is put to impeccable use here, almost making it look as if the action is unfolding from the invisible man's perspective.

  • Even then, we don't know when or how the villain will strike the most intense and darkly humorous moment finds one cop confronted by a levitating gun.

  • It appears the invisible man might let him go unscathed, which makes it even crueler when he pulls the trigger anyway.

  • Number to the attic.

  • Unable to convince anyone that Adrian's alive, Cecilia calls her supposedly late husband's cell, which turns out to be closer than she thought.

  • Enduring Griffin policing a message, and I'll get back to you what I can.

  • Following the vibrating noise up into the attic, she finds the phone with some highly unsettling photos on.

  • It just is anxiety inducing the phone, then receives a text message reading Surprise.

  • Even if you took out the invisible angle, this scene would still feel right at home in a more grounded psychological thriller like Sleeping With the Enemy or Fatal Attraction.

  • Then again, without the element of invisibility, it wouldn't be nearly as shocking when Cecilia pours a can of paint out of the attic before we continue, be sure to subscribe to our channel and bring the bell to get notified about our latest videos.

  • If you're on your phone, make sure you go into your settings and switch on notifications.

  • Number one, the restaurant.

  • Do you know how this place works?

  • I'm assuming you order food.

  • Then you eat it pretty much.

  • There are rules that almost all horror movies follow.

  • For example, once the monster inevitably attacks, it'll be when someone is alone in either a suburban or secluded area.

  • So as Cecilia meets her sister Emily in a crowded restaurant, we naturally assumed they're both safe.

  • If anything, this is the safest we felt in a while, especially as the sisters begin to reconcile.

  • I mean, James actually is a six foot cop and he's think, really intimidated.

  • But as it should be kicked his ass, I would.

  • This makes it all the more jaw dropping when a levitating knife slits Emily's throat with the bloody knife shoved in Cecilia's hand, the audience finally pieces together.

  • Adrian's master plan.

  • We feel every bit as panicked as Cecilia as she's restrained by the restaurant staff, lying mere feet away from her deceased sister.

  • Do you agree with our picks?

Sometimes it's what we can't see that scares us the most.
