31 Day Horror Challenge Day Eighteen: The Invisible Man(1933)

Unlike its Universal counterparts, Frankenstein and Dracula, The Invisible man plays out kind of like a slapstick comedy at time and there is nothing wrong with that!  There have been very few films this year that I've even come close to enjoying as much as this one.  There’s nothing scary or terrifying here but it is loads of fun and I guarantee a good time!

A scientist figures out the secret to becoming invisible.  Eventually his formula drives him insane and he comes up with schemes to murder certain people and wreak havoc on the townspeople.  It turns into a race against time as he will do anything and hurt anyone to bring himself back to his normal state.

Claude Rains is awesome as the invisible man and the other actors do a great job as well.  James Whale was a great director and this film proves how enjoyable his movies really are.  If you’re a fan of classic horror comedy, this is for you!

10/10 stars.
