The Invisible Man Ratings & Reviews
Entertainment Weekly
Lawrence O'Toole
Whale's playful and innovative trick photography (using wires and mattes that have now become standard issues) and Rains' virtuoso performance, nearly entirely vocal, turn his tragedy of transparency into something touching and timeless.

Sean Axmaker
It's slow going even at 71 minutes but full of delightful touches and a terrific performance by the all but unseen Rains, whose rich, cultured voice envelopes the picture in a kind of omnipresent fog.
Horror Queers Podcast
Trace Thurman
Featuring director James Whale's trademark black humor, The Invisible Man is a delightfully demented horror film that sports some truly outstanding visual effects.
Horror Queers Podcast
Joe Lipsett
The Universal Monster with the biggest ego and the highest body count. This film is lean and mean (though it definitely doesn't need that female love interest)
ClapperCast
Carson Timar
When you get Claude Rains' performance mixed with James Whale's hand as a director you simply get perfection.
Film Inquiry
Stephanie Archer
It has been 90 years since the release of The Invisible Man and much of the film holds true in spite of its age. It is a stellar example of the craftsmanship of art and the passion that fueled a growing industry of the time.
Photoplay
Shadow Stage
Good for some shivers... hardly as effective on the screen as in on print.
The Nippu Jiji (Honolulu)
James T. Hamada
James Whale's direction is excellent.
Harrison's Reports
P.S. Harrison
What makes this good entertainment is the fact that the tension is relieved by much comedy.
Brooklyn Daily Eagle
Martin Dickstein
It must be confessed that it serves its purpose as an eerie and horrifying melodrama.
Cine-Mundial
Francisco J. Ariza
Above all, what stands out in the film is the mastery with which, without becoming ridiculous or absurd, the protagonist is introduced. [Full review in Spanish]
Washington Star
E. de S. Melcher
The best of the horror sagas, being imaginatively and emotionally satisfying and having a hero who is a great success by being continually out of sight.
The Film Daily
Film Daily Staff
Tense and packed with a thrill-punch.
TIME Magazine
TIME Staff
In his first cinema role, which must have been easy for him to play since it amounts to very little more than an offstage noise, Claude Rains gives an alarming performance, almost as frightening when he is present as when he is not.
Variety
Roy Chartier
The strangest character yet created by the screen roams through The Invisible Man.
Chicago Reader
Dave Kehr
James Whale's 1933 film plays more like a British folk comedy than a horror movie; it's full of the same deft character twists that made his Bride of Frankenstein a classic.
New York Times
Mordaunt Hall
It is hardly necessary to dwell upon the performances of the cast beyond saying that they all rise to the demands of their parts. As for the settings, they seem very real, and the direction and acting of the uniformed police force are unusually good.
Austin Chronicle
Marjorie Baumgarten
The story is one of those great mad scientist tales in which the potion invented with the best intentions for its enhancement of human life becomes instead an evil force bent on its destruction.
San Francisco Chronicle
Bob Graham
The many special effects -- some retouched on film by hand -- are quaint by today's digital standards, but that only makes them all the more fun.
