Synopsis: After being wrongly convicted of killing his brother, Geoffrey Radcliffe (Vincent Price) faces a death sentence. But Dr. Frank Griffin (John Sutton), whose brother invented an invisibility potion,... After being wrongly convicted of killing his brother, Geoffrey Radcliffe (Vincent Price) faces a death sentence. But Dr. Frank Griffin (John Sutton), whose brother invented an invisibility potion, helps Radcliffe flee prison by injecting him with the serum. Unfortunately, the serum has a nasty side effect: it slowly but surely leads to insanity. So while Radcliffe is now free to find the real killer, he also is in a race against time -- unless Dr. Griffin can invent an antidote before it's too late. The first of four Universal INVISIBLE MAN sequels features a clever script by Curt Siodmak. Academy Award Nominations: Best Special Effects. [More]

Another wonderful Universal B-horror film with Vincent Price giving a wonderful vocal performance; as usual the special effects are first-rate for the era.

A very good sequel to "The Invisible Man (33)," though not as imaginative as the original.
