Based on H.G. Wells' classic novel, THE INVISIBLE MAN is one of the crown jewels of Universal's legendary monster repertoire. Claude Rains delivers a remarkable screen debut as a brilliant scientist whose discovery of an invisibility serum grants him extraordinary power while slowly driving him to madness. Directed by James Whale and also starring Gloria Stuart (Titanic), this ingenious blend of horror, dark comedy, and social satire features groundbreaking special effects that remain astonishingly inventive nearly a century after its release.
