The Invisible Man is a 1933
Universal Horror film, directed by James Whale and starring
Claude Rains. It is based on
the novel by
H. G. Wells.
The Invisible Man tells the story of an encounter the people of a sleepy town have with a mysterious newcomer who conceals himself entirely with bandages. The townspeople grow ever curious at the secretive, dangerously short-tempered man and his experiments. Frustrated by the inquisitive nature of the locals, the man goes into a rage, tears away his bandages, and reveals to the people that he is in fact completely invisible.
From this point on, the story follows the invisible man's trail of destruction and terror across the land as he attempts to either find a cure for his condition or take over the country (whichever is more likely).
A
sequel, called
The Invisible Man Returns and starring
Vincent Price in the title role, was produced in 1940. That same year Universal would also release the more comedic film
The Invisible Woman.
