Review of The Invisible Man

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.
