You guys were asking for them, so I added two more phantoms.
“As a character, Griffin is almost constructed in reverse. We know nothing of him upon his snowy arrival to a country inn at the start of the film. Even his face is masked in bandages, robbing us of any traditional connections to him. And while the movie would have you believe that invisibility drives him around the bend, we find out he’s always been a bit of an asshole. He’s dismissive of the town’s locals (who are all presented as a bunch of drunken imbeciles, letting you know whose side Whale is reallyon) and grows increasingly abusive toward them. This builds into an early crescendo in the film as Griffin throws a temper tantrum for the ages. He tosses the landlord down the stairs, vandalizes his room at the inn and begins the first of many naked rampages. It’s like GRAND THEFT AUTO with mad science.”
