Top Critics Reviews
fresh:
The strangest character yet created by the screen [from the novel by H.G. Wells] roams through The Invisible Man.

fresh:
James Whale's 1933 film plays more like a British folk comedy than a horror movie; it's full of the same deft character twists that made his Bride of Frankenstein a classic.

Rains, with his clear, sensitively inflected voice, was lucky: it made him a star.

It is hardly necessary to dwell upon the performances of the cast beyond saying that they all rise to the demands of their parts. As for the settings, they seem very real, and the direction and acting of the uniformed police force are unusually good.

The many special effects -- some retouched on film by hand -- are quaint by today's digital standards, but that only makes them all the more fun.
