Director David S. Goyer doesn't get half the skin-crawling mileage out of the ghost factor that he could. As a result, The Invisible really isn't worth seeing.

They should have called this Perturbia.
Owen Gleiberman, Entertainment Weekly
Rotten
The drama never comes together in a smart, meaningful way; indeed, most revelations border on the banal.
Kirk Honeycutt, Hollywood Reporter
Rotten
If anything, the movie is too introspective, to the point that it doesn't build enough conflict or tension.
Peter Hartlaub, San Francisco Chronicle
