In theory, the thought of an invisible man; or perhaps even the selling of an invisible serum to aid in terrorism is scary. I am sure at the time this movie was released it was a very disturbing horror movie; however the way that this story was portrayed on screen read more as a comedy to me. From beginning to end I was doubled over with laughter.
Out of all the classic horror movies that I have watched so far, this one takes the cake for over dramatic acting. I think my favorite character of this movie would be the innkeepers wife. From screaming and jumping on tables, to crying out "ahhahooo".
I really like this movie. Because of that, I don't want to give away too much. All I can say is that I highly recommend this movie. If I had to compare it to anything I would say it was like the 1930's version of Funny or Die.
