	DVD Review - The Invisible Man (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		James Whale’s 1933 film adaptation of the H.G. Wells science fiction classic "The Invisible Man" materializes on DVD with a wealth of features including a very thorough commentary track by historian Rudy Behlmer, a documentary chronicling the "invisible" phenomenon throughout the movies, anchored by a very respectful audio and video presentation.
		Metaphorically, it might be from man to wolf, from living to undead, from visible to invisible.
		Speckles and blemishes as well as film grain are present in the source material, but one has to remember that the film was made almost 70 years ago.

		The Invisible Man of the title is "Griffin", a scientist who theorizes that if a person's refractive index is changed to exactly that of air and his body does not absorb or reflect light, then he will not be visible.
		The Invisible Man attempts to break in through the back door but he is overheard and shot by a fl-bearded American, and flees the scene badly injured, taking refuge in a nearby house, where he uses bandages to cover up his wound.

		Director James Whale infuses the film with plenty of humor, much of it arising from the quaint quirks of the local villagers, but it turns to fl comedy as the doctor transforms from an impish prankster upsetting bicycles and taunting tavern patrons to a megalomaniac bent on world domination.
		The Invisible Man is one of the most impressive Universal "monster" films of the 1930s, a motion picture masterpiece still as vibrant and engaging now as it was in 1933.
		Although the Invisible Man makes a note of having to be naked to be invisible, the footprints he leaves in the snow at the end of the film are those of a man wearing shoes.

		As the invisible madman is moving around the negative reflects the things he does, such as rocking in a chair, smoking a cigarette, carrying something, opening doors, or socking someone in the jaw with the impact felt rather than seen.
		In one scene when the invisible man makes an escape on a bicycle, the bike is viewed going down the street rider less.
		Love interest, odd for a picture of this type, is played down to one scene in which the girl talks to the invisible man, and another at the finish when he comes out of the ether that made him that way.

		His films were notable for their fluid camera movement, leisurely pace, unexpected and idiosyncratic humor, emphasis on detail, and discriminating restraint.
		His father was a blast furnace man in a steel mill for most of his life, and his mother was the daughter of a coal miner.
		Although he may have occasionally placed a subtle reference to his sexual orientation in a film, it was never at the expense of the film's overall artistic integrity.

		A film so perfectly and magically done, based on the H.G. Wells novel, remaining faithful to the book while adding its own flavor of campiness; such as, a wonderfully bizarre Una O'Connor screaming her head off upon seeing the invisible man in "The Lion's Head" inn.
		This angers the invisible man, so he slays the chief and is now the subject of an intensive manhunt.
		This bizarre threat adds to the mystique of the invisible man as the police believe they have set a perfect trap for their man, using Kemp as bait.

	Moria The Science Fiction, Fantasy & Horror Film Review - The Invisible Man (1933)
		The opening of the film is wonderful – the moment the stranger in the snow-covered coat, his face hidden behind bandages and dark glasses, appears out of the storm sets the stage for something unusual, which is quickly compounded by the stranger’s outright rudeness.
		The moment the invisibility is first introduced holds a marvellous shock – the image of his face with the bandage half unwound and dark glasses still seated on his nose is a startling one.
		Later the Invisible Man appeared in some of Universal’s monster team-ups – he has a minor appearance at the end of Abbott and Costello Meet Frankenstein (1948) and then appears in Abbott and Costello Meet the Invisible Man (1951), although that features an entirely new Invisible Man. The film has surprisingly never been remade.

		Thus begins the reign of terror of the invisible man as he terrifies ordinary folk and officials alike with everything from childish pranks to criminal acts.
		Another one occurs when a police inspector states unequivocally that the invisible man is a figment of the townsfolk's imagination.
		Claude Rains is excellent as the invisible man. A former stage actor, he brought great presence to the role, despite the fact that he was completely masked or invisible for nearly the entire picture.

		The Invisible Man returns to his lab, "his ray power run down...(he) returns to replenish it." Sporvan, lying in wait for him, has the rays turned on, which turn Dr. Gade visible.
		Although the Invisible Man stories are undistinguished in art and writing, they do have some interesting touches for the reader inclined to read them.
		Admittedly, the idea of a superhero Invisible Man is a natural one, and Dr. Gade uses his powers for good, not evil, but Dr. Gade is nonetheless pretty clearly modeled on the Rains character.

	At-A-Glance Film Reviews: Hollow Man (2000)
		Though solid enough to carry the momentum the film has already built, this section is weaker than the beginning.
		In the third act, everything gets thrown away as the film evolves into an absurd slasher flick with all the absence of thought and tension the term implies.
		The possibilities are endless, and yet the film ends with things we have seen before and seen better.

	Monsters At Play: Invisible Man Legacy Collection Review
		The Invisible Man Returns (Joe May, 1940, 82 minutes) is more of a crime drama/mystery/sci-fi concoction than anything that could accurately be described as a horror movie, but there's still enough intrigue and quaint ol' invisibility effects to keep the fans entertained.
		With only the most tenuous connection to the original film, 'Returns' would seal the approach for the rest of the series: each is a stand-alone movie, yet they all have at least one character named Griffin...and someone turns invisible every time.
		Ignoring the consistently-employed concept of an invisibility potion, this sequel requires one to be hooked up to a loony veterinarian's lab table to achieve total transparency.

		Invisible men were nothing new on film or TV when Dr. Westin had his unfortunate accident.
		Invisible monsters abound in TV episodes (Lost in Space, The X-Files, etc.) and films (memorably Forbidden Planet and Predator) too, while the more obvious human delights of invisibility have been explored in various lame teen comedies (Zapped and The Invisible Maniac spring to mind).
		Although The Gemini Man, which revamped The Invisible Man concept the following season, was a blander show, at least it avoided the biggest problem McCallum had by having the hero simply flip a switch to become invisible.

		According to the film critic William K. Everson, the horror film is the most unique of any film genre because rigid guidelines do not have to be followed as closely by the director or, for that matter, the screenwriter.
		While other film genres might use restraint and logical explanation as their overriding criteria, the horror film need not follow this standard formula; thus, many cinematic tricks and techniques are available to filmmakers to employ at their discretion.
		However, the themes of Expressionism were integrated into later films of the 1920s and 1930s, resulting in an artistic control over the placement of scenery, light, and shadow to enhance the mood of a film.

		Universal enticed the glamourous blond actress with the assurance of "big plans", but outside of her films for director James Whale (Old Dark House, The (1932), Invisible Man, The (1933) and Kiss Before the Mirror, The (1933)), that promise went unkept as the studio stuck her in a long series of unmemorable program pictures.
		She made a few films during the 1940s but had become more interested in working with the Screen Actors Guild, and in developing her talents as a painter.
		One of her early film, Here Comes the Navy, was filmed aboard the USS Arizona.

		With a gap of 13 years between his first movie and this film, Claude Rains proves that he is a tremendous actor when he is cast as the scientist Jack Griffin, who creates a potion that makes him invisible, only to turn him insane.
		When this movie hit the theaters in 1933, it was known to possess some of the best special effects to date.
		Many of the scenes, such as the Invisible Man walking through the snow leaving only footprints, stunned audiences who could not believe what they saw.

	THE COLD SPOT \ Movies \ The Invisible Man (1933)
		You know, for a film made in 1933, The Invisible Man's special effects are surprisingly effective.
		In fact, at first the film itself seems to be a prototypical version of a summer blockbuster--great special effects, no story.
		Although the acting dates the film somewhat, the material is dealt with in a sometimes amusing and often thoughtful manner, and Whale's direction is well worth the price of admission.

	Horror Bob Presents: The Horror Review - Egregious Gurnow's Review of "The Invisible Man" (1933)
		However, in The Invisible Man, most of the subverted comedy is confined to the situational dialogue as Cranely announces that Griffin has “disappeared” after he realizes that his research assistant hasn’t been “seen” for a set period.
		The characters of Flora and her father are presented in order to establish an arbitrary romantic subplot which, obviously (which is Whale’s sin here), was a marketing concession made at the discretion of the studio heads to have a female star opposite Rains.
		Of all of the Universal Monster films, James Whale’s The Invisible Man is easily the most underrated in his assessment of how the homosexual remains “unseen” in the world continues to be relevant even today.

		I am a man of substance, of flesh and bone, fiber and liquids—and I might even be said to possess a mind.
		While Ellison viewed Invisible Man as a story of affirmation and of the importance of the quest for individual identity, the novel rests on a life-denying concept: social and cultural invisibility.
		Ultimately, however, the metaphor of invisibility speaks for all of us -- fls, whites, women, homosexuals, the handicapped -- anyone who sits at the margin of society, who feels voiceless, whose humanity is not acknowledged.
