A high schooler, beaten and left for dead by some very bad people, sends his spirit out to get help for his broken but not quite-dead body. No one can see the spirit but one of the people involved in his beating can sort of hear it. The boy has limited time to get aid, as his body lies at the foot of a dam scheduled to release water. That's the basic premise of the Canadian-lensed THE INVISIBLE, which has some pretty tense moments. A non-star cast (excepting Marcia Gay Harden) makes it all the more believable in an eerie sort of way. David Goyer, a well-known screenwriter and director, made this low-budget puppy. Worth a look, but don't expect it to be like SUPERNATURAL or GHOST WHISPERER. Even with a "ghost" floating about, the movie is more of a character study.
