Nevertheless, all trick films are amusing and there are many tricks here which can be enjoyed as good conjuring.

Despite some good production work, many will be disappointed.

[The drama] is vividly sustained, and the technical tricks employed in a cleverly handled production make the incredible credible enough to prove grisly. But there is a leavening of humor, too.

Stripped of the horror angles of its forerunner, The Invisible Man Returns is a fantastic tale of the impossible -- but unfolded in such a manner that it maintains interest throughout despite its basic incredibility.

The Invisible Man Returns is a mite on the ghostly side, too, although neither so horrendous nor so humorous as the first one was.

Not as stylishly bizarre as Whale's original, but a very enjoyable sequel.

Audience Reviews for The Invisible Man Returns
-
Nov 05, 2014A highly (special) effective sequel that smartly makes the main character more sympathetic, this Return to the series works even when the acting's wonky. Not so much a direct sequel as a side-quel, this follow-up simply takes the concept and runs with it. Once again, we have an invisible protagonist who descends into murderous rage. Set on repeat, the story fails to offer the same punch. Also, the Wow factor upon seeing the effects for the first time is gone. After seeing the original, after all, your dropped jaw hopefully recoiled back to a closed position. Still, they effects still used to great, uh, effect and the action proves rousing enough to keep moviegoers vested in the leftovers. In this unrated continuation of the Universal series, the owner of a coal mining operation (Vincent Price), falsely imprisoned for fratricide, takes a drug to make him invisible, despite its side effect: gradual madness. Part Two boasts an early starring turn by Vincent Price...although boasts is probably the wrong word. As a wrongly imprisoned man using the invisibility serum in trying to clear his name, the actor often too arch as the madness sets in. Still, the SFX team steps up their game from the first film and offer some truly thrilling moments. Bottom line: See Through MireJeff B Super Reviewer

Oct 19, 2011The Invisible Man Returns is a strong follow-up to The Invisible Man. The film is also the best sequel to the original horror classic. Starring Vincent Price as Geoffrey Radcliffe. This is the best sequel of the series, and I thought it was a terrific, well constructed horror film. This film is wonderful because of the acting that Vincent Price displays on-screen. The film boasts stunning special effects, just like the other films. Except, this film has a lot more substance to its material. Vincent Price handles his role very well, and he definitely displays his talents as an actor here. I thought that the story was the best since the original, and it is the only sequel has a tense atmosphere. The Invisible Mann Returns is a tale revenge and romance mixed with horror of course. The film is entertaining, and the cast do a great job in their roles. The Invisible Man Returns is a good entry and is quite entertaining. If you've enjoyed this film, you'll most likely enjoy this sequel. As far as sequels are concerned, The Invisible Man Returns is a good enough sequel, and has a good plot with great special effects and of course the talent of its lead, Vincent Price. I enjoyed this film, and thought it had a great mix of everything that makes a good sequel. The plot is good, and the actors really deliver something special here. This is the best sequel in the series as it's more serious than the other films that came after it. The only sequel that comes close is The Invisible Man's Revenge.Alex r Super Reviewer

Sep 05, 2010This sequel has a boring sequel story, but it is worth watching for an early performance, mostly voice, from Vincent Price.Aj V Super Reviewer
