Movie Reviews of The Invisible Man - The Legacy Collection (The Invisible Man/Invisible Man Returns/Invisible Agent/Invisible Woman/Invisible Man's Revenge)
Movie Review: Invite the Invisible Man into your home.
Summary: 5 Stars
Sometimes it is good to see an old classic horror/thriller movie. "The Invisible Man" is fun to watch. The special effects for 1933 were superb and the effect of invisibility was kept a secret for many years.
This DVD set will reveal that secret to you by film historian, Rudy Behlmer.
The Invisible Man (71 min.) Released 13, 1933.
It's a snowy night as a bandaged man (Claude Rains) tries to make it to The Lions Den Inn. Everyone in the tavern looks at him oddly as he enters, but the patrons are odd themselves. He rents a room from Jenny Hall (Una O'Connor) and insists on privacy. This man has a horrible secret that has effected his body. It is driving him mad. He will soon be forced to reveal his secret.
