Why it’s a Weeknight Watch
With soft box office and little lasting buzz, it's a mixed bag. Fine if it's on; don't plan your night around it.
Based on critics, audiences, awards, box office and buzz. Details below.Is it for you?
- Who'll love it
- Made for anyone nostalgic for their awkward years and anyone looking to switch off and smile. Small moments carry real weight here, the way they do when you're young. Shelve it next to Re-Animator or Videodrome.
- The mood
- Scary.
- The pace
- Tense from early on, at 1 hr 26 min. Done before bedtime.
- What might put you off
- Rated R: expect violence and sex.
- Skip it if you like your stories firmly grounded in the real world.
An invisible scientist escapes from an asylum and teaches high-school physics to nubile teens.
