The described movies The Invisible Man from 2020, and The Conjuring from 2013.
The Invisible Man is a 2020 science fiction horror film written and directed by Leigh Whannell.
Inspired by H. G. Wells' novel of the same name, it stars Elisabeth Moss as a woman who believes she is being stalked and gaslit by her seemingly deceased ex-boyfriend (Oliver Jackson-Cohen) after he acquires the ability to become invisible.
Aldis Hodge, Storm Reid, Harriet Dyer, and Michael Dorman appear in supporting roles.
Development on a contemporary film adaptation of the novel began in 2006 but was halted in 2011.
An attempt at reviving the project in 2016 as part of Universal Pictures' cinematic Dark Universe was also cancelled following the critical and financial failure of The Mummy in 2017.
After Universal moved away from a serialized universe to standalone films, the project re-entered development in 2019 with Whannell attached.
The Invisible Man was released in the United States on 28 February 2020.
It received positive reviews from critics, with praise for Moss's performance and themes on domestic abuse.
The film was also a commercial success, grossing $145 million worldwide against a $7 million budget.

The Conjuring is a 2013 American supernatural horror film directed by James Wan and written by Chad Hayes and Carey W. Hayes.
It is the inaugural film in The Conjuring Universe franchise.
Patrick Wilson and Vera Farmiga star as Ed and Lorraine Warren, paranormal investigators and authors associated with prominent cases of haunting.
Their purportedly real-life reports inspired The Amityville Horror story and film franchise.
The Warrens come to the assistance of the Perron family, who experienced increasingly disturbing events in their newly occupied farmhouse in Rhode Island in 1971.
With Ed and Lorraine Warren's investigation, the Perron case became the first witch curse that is placed across the land.
Development of the film began in January 2012, and reports confirmed Wan as the director of a film entitled The Warren Files, later retitled The Conjuring, centring on the alleged real-life exploits of Ed and Lorraine Warren, a married couple who investigated paranormal events.
In his second collaboration with Wan, Patrick Wilson starred alongside Vera Farmiga in the main roles of Ed and Lorraine.
Production commenced in Wilmington, North Carolina, in February 2012, and scenes were shot in chronological order.
