} The Invisible Man is a film produced by Universal Pictures in 1933 and directed by James Whale. The movie was based on H. G. Wells' science fiction novel The Invisible Man.
It is considered one of the great Universal Horror films of the 1930s, and spawned a number of sequels, plus many spinoffs using the idea of an "invisible man" that were largely unrelated to Wells' original story. In his first American screen appearance, Claude Rains portrayed the Invisible Man (Dr. Jack Griffin) mostly only as a disembodied voice. Rains is only shown clearly for a brief time at the end of the film, spending most of his on-screen time covered by bandages. The film also starred Gloria Stuart.
A scientist turns himself invisible. However, the formula slowly drives him insane, causing him to terrorize the countryside as an invisible killer. Written by Jeremy Lunt
