    4.0 out of 5 stars INFERIOR UNRELATED SEQUEL TO THE FIRST TWO FILMS! STILL ENTERTAINS! 3 1/2 STARS!, January 31, 2008
    This review is from: Invisible Man's Revenge [VHS] (VHS Tape)
    This is the final in the Invisible Man series of 3 films. By 1944 most of the Universal Monsters films were getting made on a very small budget and this last installment of the Invisible Man shows the same signs as the others, although not as bad. It's still a very entertaining film just a bit too contrived to take too seriously. The FX are pretty good but, most of the FX are parlor tricks and there are some wires showing here and there. It's a lot of fun and by this time in the series it's OK to laugh. This is available on DVD as part of the Invisible Man Legacy Collection along with 4 other films relating to invisibility. The DVD transfer is very good and there are some interesting extras included.

    3.0 out of 5 stars Fourth Installment In Universal's "Invisible Man", Series, September 16, 2004

    Rampaging Mummies seeking revenge, mad doctors, and Invisible men where just some of the horror and fantasy themes that Universal Studios had cornered the market in during the 1940's war years. Audiences weary of hearing about the latest horrible occurrences at home and overseas could very easily loose themselves in the complete fantasy of these movies at least for a couple of hours before returning to the sombre real world outside the cinemas. Universal's "Invisible Man", series in particular was a great success in the early 40's and was itself an offshoot from the studios much earlier success with its 1933 effort "The Invisible Man", starring Claude Rains which was based on the famous H.G. Wells novel. These 1940's followup efforts of course were not as prestigious as that 1933 effort however Universal had a way with making even their "B", films appear like expensive productions. Of course with the subject matter dealt with here the rather ordinary stories were always enlived by the... Read more

    4.0 out of 5 stars Invisible Man Strikes Back!, October 24, 2009

    Unrelated to the other Invisible films by Universal and even using the same actor, Jon Hall, from The Invisible Agent. Griffin is a man who escaped from an asylum after killing two nurses (not shown) and finds that his partner in an African safari (who got a diamond mine there) got a bunch of money and Griffin wants it. And wants his daughter. After getting himself kicked out and nearly drowned, he finds his way to John Carradine's house, the mad scientist who has the invisibility serum.

    It's great when Carradine opens the door and let's him into his house, with that leer and "You don't have a friend in the world, eh?" Carradine introduces him to his invisible dog and parrot and needs a human to experiment on. Once the formula works, Griffin beats him up and escapes, to use his invisibility in revenge against his partner.

    Special effects are fair; not sure how they make him invisible (positive/negative film perhaps) and we can see a few wires here and there... Read more
