the Invisible Man(1933).

Outstanding Universal classic starring Claude Rains as the scientist who discovers the secret of invisibility but doesn't realise the side effects of madness and ends up terrorising the residents of a country village.

Frankenstein director James Whale delivers a great blend of action and horror with some superb comedy moments in this one, the dancing trousers and bicycle scenes are hysterical. And considering the special effects were done in 1933 they are excellent and look even better than some of the films made today with their unrealistic CGI.
Claude Rains does an amazing job despite being invisible or covered in bandages and dark glasses most of the time. His vocal range is fantastic as he gets more and more paranoid turning into a megalomaniac. Good supporting cast too, including the hilarious Una O'Connor as the screaming inn keeper's wife.
An excellent recommend. 8.5/10.
