The special effects are impressive, especially for the time. It’s quite a good but simple story, it feels like it’s missing something like moral ambiguity or social commentary or anything to give it more depth like Frankenstein (1931).

Крутой образ невидимки со стильными очками, его зловещий хохот, классные спецэффекты и опять типично кривой сценарий у студии Universal. Эх, а с таким фундаментом можно было замутить годный триллер! Ведь начало у фильма отличное, но потом всё сводится к банальщине. Жаль.

Man the modern 'remake' of this is not even remotely silly enough to compare to this. This was mostly gas and very entertaining.

There are movies that feel dated after 20 years. And then there is "The Invisible Man" which still feels fresh after almost 90 years.

хорощи хороший фильм, и поржать можно и поржать, жаль под хоррор не особо подходит, но зато на съемках поезд разбили актёр прекрасный в 2022 смотрится лучше мультиков марвел

I was interested in seeing this film. I like the book, I love Claude Rains and I loved the classics Frankenstein and Bride of Frankenstein which were also directed by horror maestro James Whale. After finally seeing it I wasn't let down. The only minor problem I had was that Una O'Connor's screaming occasionally got on my nerves, but that's to do with preference. The Invisible Man had held up amazingly well, and the production values look lavish and don't look as though they've creaked. The music is excellent, the direction is top-notch and the screenplay is great. The story is still compelling and does justice to the book, while the atmosphere is suitably eerie and the special effects are pioneering. The acting is fine, Claude Rains was a brilliant actor and gives a superb performance in the title role, despite the fact he spends most of the time swathed in bandages or invisible you know that wonderful voice he has anywhere. All in all, superb and anyone who loved the Frankenstein movies will love this. 9/10 Bethany Cox

I can see why people consider it a classic but I had a hard time getting into it. The over-acting was a bit much at times and kind of took me out of the story a bit. I also wasn't a fan of the second half at all, especially with the whole blackmailing of a co-worker bit. It just didn't work for me. I had a hard time sitting through this one and it's honestly the one I genuinely dislike.
