You’ll hardly believe what your eyes won’t see! Claude Rains stars in the Universal horror classic as a brilliant chemist who has discovered the secret of invisibility. But he soon discovers his new drug has a dangerous side effect: it will drive him murderously insane! With dead bodies piling up and the police feverishly on the hunt, his former fiancée (Gloria Stuart) desperately hopes to find him first. Brilliantly balancing horror, humor and ground-breaking effects, director James Whale powerfully crafts a fantastic, fast-moving sensation based on the H.G. Welles novel.
“Claude Rains gives an alarming performance, almost as frightening when he is present as when he is not.” – TIME Magazine
“The story makes such superb cinematic material that one wonders that Hollywood did not film it sooner. Now that it has been done, it is a remarkable achievement.” – Mordaunt Hall, The New York Times
