Description

The ending of The Invisible Man doesn't unfold exactly how you expect, but that's only fitting for Leigh Whannell's twisty horror-thriller. The Invisible Man's ending isn't a straightforward one, but it's the right one for the movie. Here's how it goes down. Spoilers ahead!

The Invisible Man's final showdown seems simple. Cecilia visits Adrian's house for a meal. When Adrian refuses to apologize, Cecilia leaves to freshen up. While she's gone, Adrian lifts a knife seemingly against his will, even though he's alone in the room and slits his own throat. Cecilia returns just in time to watch him die.

Everything Cecilia does in this scene is set up earlier in the movie. The security cameras that Adrian used to spy on Cecilia are now the key to proving his "suicide," and throughout the film Adrian's weapon of choice is a knife. It's only fitting that his story ends with one.

And then, of course, there's the second invisibility suit that Cecilia dons, the one she found while snooping around Adrian's mansion. That's why Adrian's comeuppance is so satisfying: In the final scene, Cecilia is using all of Adrian's tricks against him. She even sends Adrian to the grave with his own catchphrase.

During the meal, Adrian pleads for forgiveness, saying that he's sorry. Is he, though? Because everything that Adrian does in this scene screams that he hasn't changed at all. He's still choosing Cecilia's meals for her, and still trying to gaslight her. He blames Cecilia for her own trauma, deflecting responsibility and painting himself as the real victim.

This is all textbook behavior for an abuser, and it's not any different than what Adrian was doing while he was in the invisibility suit. From all indications, Adrian hasn't learned a thing. Thankfully, Cecilia doesn't fall for it. She's moved beyond Adrian, and she's no longer looking back.

The Invisible Man is framed like an empowerment story. At the beginning of the movie, Cecilia lives in fear of Adrian. Even after she escapes, she's so traumatized that she can't even leave the house. Adrian's death gives her solace, but it's only once the Invisible Man begins attacking that Cecilia finally musters the courage, resolve, and confidence that she needs to fight back. By the end of the movie, Cecilia and Adrian have switched places. Cecilia is now the hunter. Adrian is her prey. Keep watching the video to see the end of The Invisible Man explained!
