Superb adaptation of HG Wells' novel

I was interested in seeing this film. I like the book, I love Claude Rains and I loved the classics Frankenstein and Bride of Frankenstein which were also directed by horror maestro James Whale. After finally seeing it I wasn't let down. The only minor problem I had was that Una O'Connor's screaming occasionally got on my nerves, but that's to do with preference. The Invisible Man had held up amazingly well, and the production values look lavish and don't look as though they've creaked. The music is excellent, the direction is top-notch and the screenplay is great. The story is still compelling and does justice to the book, while the atmosphere is suitably eerie and the special effects are pioneering. The acting is fine, Claude Rains was a brilliant actor and gives a superb performance in the title role, despite the fact he spends most of the time swathed in bandages or invisible you know that wonderful voice he has anywhere. All in all, superb and anyone who loved the Frankenstein movies will love this. 9/10 Bethany Cox

The Invisible Man review
Posted : 5 years, 2 months ago on 18 February 2019 06:12
A remarkable cinematic achievement rightfully categorised as a horror classic, albeit with a discernible, measured thread of comic verve and goofy humour. Demonstrating groundbreaking visual effects and showcasing an even stranger and amoral antagonist than Frankenstein's monster, the story addresses the folly of man in terms of harnessing intellectual dominion and notoriety through scientific achievement. A document of its time that continues to attract contemporary viewership on the basis of its suspenseful, perfectly condensed examination of a scientist driven mad in the pursuit of power and recognition for his perceived genius, so much so that he is prepared to transform himself into a monster. "The Invisible Man" is a scintillating and superlative standout in the revered canon of Universal horror during the 1930s.

If you watch this movie your in for a treat the Invisible Man directed by James Whale the same guy who made Frankenstein it was also based on the book by science fiction grandpa H.G. Wells Jack Griffith is a scientist who makes a serum that can turn him invisible 
but can't turn back to normal for 1933 is the special effect looks great 
despite being invisible he takes advantage of it by robbing and killing people. And you know what? is the funniest of the Universal monsters movie. This guy is a real jerk he's played Claude Rain who's as his best he played the Wolf Man father too the Invisible Man is one of the best.
