Invisible Lies (2021)

Invisible Lies: Directed by Frank E. Jackson Jr.. With Kristin Lauria, Frank E. Jackson Jr., Moses Massena, Natasha ‘Breezy’ Malone. A Black lawyer must come to grip with his prejudices after falling in love with a White woman while simultaneously defending a Black teenager who has been wrongfully accused of drugging and raping his White girlfriend.

“For a younger audience, unjaded by so many horror and suspense flicks, this movie will probably be creepier. This version of the story is somewhat a victim of itself. So many derivatives have occurred over the years, many from King novels, including this one, that this remake suffers as somewhat less of the same. At my 55 years of age, it just never hit a fear climax. Sure, some great scenes, just not enough impact. For the younger audience, I expect it would be great. Also, perhaps by the edit- down for the screen play, the story seemed to leave a lot of plot holes uncompleted, and seemed to violate its own plane of existence. Appropriate for Netflix, or a young couple on a date.”
