The Invisible Man - 1933 * * * *

Catch him if you can.

For a film that's over 70 years old this movie really does have some amazing special effects. The bizarre aspect of the film is that we don't actualy get to see the real invisible man until the very last scene and that's pretty frustrating when you've become so wrapped up in his life. Claude Rains is excellent as the man who, after experimenting on himself becomes totally invisible, but also deranged and dangerous. He finds himself in an inn where he attempts to find the cure to what has happened, the only trouble is the owners just won't leave him alone...

Amazing to watch (including the scenes where Rains unbandages himself, and where he causes havoc in the small village by knocking out anyone who gets in his way) and also very funny, the Invisible Man is a great movie because although we know it is only make believe, there is a horrible feeling in the bottom of our stomachs that it could happen, and what on earth would we do if it did?

Grab this movie, plus some popcorn and a rainy afternoon and you have yourself a real treat which proves that you don't have to watch a modern day film to have an amazing experience (but then I knew that already;) )
