The Invisible Man (1933) | The Terror of Claude Rains' Invisible Man

If fear of the unknown is the oldest and strongest kind of fear, 1933's The Invisible Man pushed all the right buttons and boundaries. Claude Rains reins supreme as a cinematic specter of old Hollywood—watch him wreak havoc in his original outing as the Invisible Man!

Claude Rains delivers a remarkable performance in The Invisible Man as a mysterious doctor who discovers a serum that makes him invisible. Covered by bandages and dark glasses, he arrives at a small English village and attempts to hide his amazing discovery. He soon learns, however, that the same drug which renders him invisible slowly drives him to commit acts of unspeakable terror. Based on H.G. Wells' classic novel and featuring groundbreaking special effects, The Invisible Man remains a masterpiece not only of the genre, but of all time.

First saw this movie on TV in the late 60s. My mom kept trying to convince me it was terrifying, but it was so laughable. Quite the cinematic techniques of the day, making his nose, head, hands disappear. Couldn't get over Una O'Connor's hilariously overdone screaming!
