A huge box office success that also kick-started legendary character actor Claude Rains’ (CASABLANCA) Hollywood career, THE INVISIBLE MAN remains James Whale’s best know film after FRANKENSTEIN, and one of the only adaptations of H.G Wells novels that the science-fiction author approved of.
'Covered in bandages and wearing dark glasses, Claude Rains is the mysterious Dr. Griffin, who arrives in a small English village and takes a room at the local tavern. Unbeknownst to the villagers, Griffin has created a serum that makes him invisible - he attempts to hide his amazing discovery, but the drug’s side effects slowly drive him to commit acts of unspeakable terror.'
Apart from Rains’ unhinged performance, the still-outstanding practical ‘invisibility’ effects work by John P. Fulton make this Universal horror classic a must-see.
