Plot:
Claude Rains practically owns his film debut in The Invisible Man, despite the fact that his face (let alone his body) is seen only for seconds in the final moments. As the brilliant scientist ...( read more

MCT:August 4, 2008A truly memorable classic film. Such a marvellously insane performance is given by Claude Rains as the mad invisible scientist that it is difficult to see this as a bad film. Excellent special effects, many of which are still used today. Truly enjoyable!
-
MCT:July 31, 2008The Invisible Man is a top-notch horror classic. Highly entertaining throughout with quite a few scares along with some laughs. But the best part of all was the effects. These effects were perhaps the best of that time. Even today I was wondering how they did it. Overall a mighty fine film.

Fantastic narration by James Whale from the equally great story by visionary writer H.G Wells. Veteran universal pictures craftsman John P. Fulton's visual effects are amazing, even for today's standards. Delightful parable about the corruption of power. The always outstanding Claude Rains incarnates (well, almost entirely with his voice) the scientist who uses his remarkable power to damage society.

short and to the point. impressive and mildly amusing special effects. for being invisible the whole movie, claude rains dominates the screen with his magnificent voice. a subtle horror/sci-fi classic with a social message about the ambition for and consequences of power.

MCT:March 24, 2008This is genius!! The effects are incredible for those times, they are impressive even today! And the movie is extremely clever. Everything has a brillant explanation. It is just a masterpiece. I'm astonished. Definitely a must!

I was shocked how good the effects were! The movie gets right into the action, and stays that way! Very entertaining!

I loved it, Claude Rains did a fantastic job playing the main role and his laugh is just great. I just loved this movie, they do not make movies like they used too.

A mildly chilling tale that was well done with the voice of Claude Rains. He did a great job with his voiceover work into his depths of madness. The woman who was constantly screaming in the begining was quite annoying, but this was still an excellent movie to watch.

Most special effects films would fall flat if you deprive them of their visual tricks - not The Invisible Man. Credit James Whale for elevating what could have been just another novelty flick to a true Hollywood classic. Sensational performances all the way around help this 1933 release withstand the ravages of time. If you haven't seen it, do so. If you saw it years ago, see it again.

Wonderful thriller of a film with Claude Rains in the title role. Great sfx for the time. Must-see for old-school monster film fans!
-
MCT:November 10, 2007one of the earliest movies about the egonomaniac scientist who abuses his knowledge as the accessory gadget of personal ambition. claude rains conceals his face until the end credit, so mostly he gives a performance mainly based on vocal vibration and body languages.
the most laughable scene would probably be the hotel registration turns into a conspicuous tumult while the nosy hotress yells outloud in panic that arouses your deeepest beastly desire to slap her violently. more of a comic episode to brighten the atmosphere..you'd encourage rains' outrage while he throws pieces of disguised clothing to the police and tavern hoster.
then the flick proceeds to tackle into his progressive deterioration of insanity by magnifying his relentless ambition or the hunger for power, partially due to chemically poisonous side-effects. then the invisible man incurs the inevitable doom induced by his tragic flaw, even nuanced with consalce of love at last. -

Extremely funny in all ways. Love this movie out of all the horror monster classics. Truly inspirational and highly classified as one of the best horror movies of our time. See for your self.

It's amazin to read that the 'invisible' effects here were available so long ago, before they even had colour TV. Great stuff, loved the chick too.

Claude Rains is chilling from his first words, and owns the film even with a mask (or no face). The mass-murdering loon is a compelling villain, and the special effects are astonishing considering how old this is. It's a pity about the truly wooden supporting cast, but still, for an even watchable Universal Monster Movie, one should be grateful.

There's no doubt that this is the absolute best of all the Universal Horror classics. Claude Rains gives his all and puts out a great performance as the mad invisible scientist. Anyone who says that old movies weren't violent has never seen this bad boy. He commits acts of villainy, like derailing a train for instance, that gives this killer a body count above 100. A must have for science fiction and horror fans alike.

MCT:May 22, 2007Rented from the Library... Interesting, to a point. The acting need some attention, but overall is a good movie for it's tome...

I would put this second in a list of the great Universal Horror films. I don't think that there will ever be a better movie about being invisible. I wish someone would try though.
-
MCT:May 12, 2007
The original and best. Claude Rains is the ONLY invisible man, and some of the effects are still impressive even now. Hollow Man looks very hollow indeed in comparison.
-

Claude Raines as the suave scientist gone mad. Another fantastic Universal monster film. One of the top four!

One of the best Universal Monster movies ever made. Some of the special effects still hold up today considering it was made in 1933.

James Whale's second best work (after Bride of Frankenstein) is an amazingly twisted and witty shocker. Excellent special effects, almost unbelievable considering its era!
