Claysaba Excellent, Without a doubt!!

Stellead Don't listen to the Hype. It's awful

SpunkySelfTwitter It’s an especially fun movie from a director and cast who are clearly having a good time allowing themselves to let loose.

Sienna-Rose Mclaughlin The movie really just wants to entertain people.

henrypaulmerklein Claude Rains' performance will you leave you chuckling as much as it leaves you looking behind your shoulder expecting someone with a knife.

Irishchatter I thought after watching it, it was just hilarious! Claude Rains as the invisible man was absolutely superb and I always loved how he says "you fool" in his posh English accent. He was quite very witty in a way too but its like he doesn't care what anyone else thinks of him as the invisible man. I liked how he tends to scare anyone around him by showing that he has no face, hands or his body. It was even funnier only seeing him with no head and we only can just see his PJ's when he went to his doctors friend house to hide from the police.I really like how this old film was full of laughs and of course, some jumpscares too! It was so sad at the end though that Griffin was shot and his true love Flora was by his side. It did make me upset like the character was just amazing lol! I give this brilliant horror movie a 9/10!

Idiot-Deluxe "An invisible man can rule the world - nobody will see come - nobody will see him go, he can hear evvvery secret! HE CAN ROB! AND WRECK! AND KILL!" "Your father! Clever! HAHA! You think he can help me? He's got the brain of a tape-worm - a maggot, beside mine.""Power to make multitude's run squealing in terror at the touch of my little invisible finger!" Now this is a fun movie! Yet another classic offering from the unbeatable combination of Horror-Maestro James Whale and the Universal Studio of the 1930's. I must have seen this one 50 or 60 times over the years and I for one, NEVER grow tired of watching this magnificent mega-classic. To me The Invisible Man is one of those rare films that possesses infinite replay value.The Invisible Man is the film debut of the renowned British stage/screen actor Claude Rains and the performance he gives (to my way of thinking) is the all-time best and most exciting film debut of any actor, ever. The man was simply a natural in front of the camera. It's his fantastically maniacal voice (especially during the "invisble scenes"), in combination with the amazingly well-done FX, that carry this remarkably cutting-edge film. For 1933 standards The Invisible Man must have represented the ultimate in high-tech film-making; but not without an immense effort from FX-Maestro John P. Fulton and a small army of "retoucher's". That's a story in and of itself and I'll get to that later.The movie, like most of Whales output, moves along at a brisk clip (remember this film is barely 70 minutes long) and is very tightly paced, there's not one wasted frame and every scene has a definite purpose and one could say that there's not an ounce of fat on The Invisible Man. Typical of a James Whales horror film, you'll hear an abundance of some of the most singularly colorful and sparkling dialog (mostly from the mouth of the Invisible Man himself) ever written for film, combined with the dementedly demonic, white-hot delivery that Claude Rains brought to the role. R.C. Sheriff's script is brilliantly written and in scene after scene proves invaluable to the films overall effect. The one-of-a-kind voice of Cluade Rains is a combination of, 1. a heavy Cockney accent, 2. a set of vocal chords which had been affected in WW1 via: mustard-gas attack and 3. a voice tempered and strengthened by many years of stage performing. This ultimately shaped what was one of cinema's most distinctive and versatile voices. Whale cast Rains largely on the strength of his voice and also due to his wicked laugh. Claude Rains simply had a loud and dementedly devilish laugh, it was the type of laugh that could upstage the unwholesome chortlings of a dying rabid hyena and it's truly an electrifying thing to hear. Claude's just plain bat-sh*t crazy!I won't discuss the plot, but rest assured the Invisible Man has a lot of deadly and demonic fun (these are the films most ticklish scenes) and he also get's revenge on a certain traitorous doctor ("I hope your car's insured Kemp. I'm afraid there's going to be a nah-sty accident in a moment, a very nah-sty accident."), before he's finally dealt with by the law. The Invisible Man is a fast-paced and boundlessly entertaining, hi-tech horror and a true classic of the era and genre and with the exception of BRIDE OF FRANKENSTEIN, The Invisible Man is James Whales best horror film. Second only to The Bride.A Word On The Special Effects: In layman's terms, the invisibility effects were achieved with a combination of an actor who was clad from head-to-toe in black velvet (probably a skin-tight catsuit) and was filmed in front of large sheet of black velvet, essentially a wall of velvet. The footage was then super-imposed onto footage that showed the setting and the rest of the cast. The results, as you'll see, are confoundingly brilliant, though not perfect, at least not from the start; some residual visual distortions remained, which marred the overall effect. To perform the finishing touches were a group of people armed with paint brushes, these were the "the retoucher's" and their job was to meticulously hand-paint each individual film-cell, which removed the last remaining traces of the invisible man and only then was he truly invisible.For those not yet familiar with the Invisible Man, I could not recommend more highly that you seek this classic out. Particularly the Blu-ray, because Universal (as part of their centennial anniversary) put together an astonishingly beautiful Hi-Def transfer and it's -very easily- the best The Invisible Man has ever looked or sound....................buy a copy today, it rules.

elvircorhodzic The man whose head was wrapped in bandages almost always acts disturbing. If such a phenomenon following the horror elements, the story will seem daunting. THE INVISIBLE MAN is a pretty good horror. Films with visual and digital effects that should arouse a certain horror and shock in their thirties may have accounted for an incredible miracle, and he would have shocked all those who love the wonders of film creation or animation. The director who is brave enough to snatch shots and camera in order to shock the masses deserves slope to the floor. Claude Rains played the role of the phantom man only voice and gestures to him throughout the film does not see the face. The viewer will now feel plasticity, especially in the action scenes where you can see all the effort to do everything as perfectly. It was a time when the science-fiction genre fits exactly with the avant-Gard, expressionist or any other modernist expression. I think it was in the thirties simply thought the film magic on the one hand and garbage that draw the attention of viewers with themes and stories from the other side. James Whale is a story worked out in great detail. In the sci-fi genre that's necessary. The film observes a strange accelerated progression, the movements of the characters and developments, observed something sudden energy in dialogue. Mystique! Invisible man stew to the city and the people as a man in introversion with the capacity of invisibility, but as a man who is 'happy' under the influence of specific chemicals. Scientist! His motives are from some strange inner subconscious urge and desire to experiment, poured into an invisible form in which he wakes up madness and revenge hunger for power. Invisible Man becomes no longer a criminal in order to crime, rather than becoming a terrorist who with pleasure wants to destroy the world.The atmosphere is grim. The story was only solid. The film is a horror, but he lacks a bit of weirdness. I have the impression that the key scenes is not going to end. Invisible man is not enough. The film is less dosed with black humor.The main actor Claude Rains was forced to use a particular outfit and make-up, a recording was extremely hard and uncomfortable. I think he has put a lot of effort and did a good job.Other actors are solid, and in particular to highlight Una O'Connor, her "interesting" face and tragicomic screaming.James Whale was once again confirmed the reputation of a specialist in horror films. In the end he managed to convince the audience that the main protagonist is invisible.
