From a personal point of view it rivals Frankenstein (1931) and The Wolf Man (1941) as best Universal monster movie any day of the week. |
I completely agree with you, and I'm guilty of overlooking it went thinking about the Universal monster movies, concentrating on the earlier ones.
Dracula is extremely influential, and Bela Lugosi is justifiably iconic but, on every technical level, including the special effects which still look good, even when comparing to
Hollow Man,
The Invisible Man is a step above.
For me, the two
Frankenstein films are amongst the best of the two decade output of the studio, and two of the finest horror films ever made.
