Invisible man

In 1933, the most famous of H.G. Wells movies arrived with The Invisible Man. Director James Whale (Frankenstein) turned the novel into a harrowing science fiction horror story about a man who turns himself invisible with no way to undo it, and is driven mad. The quality of the effects and visuals for a film about an invisible character made in 1933 is remarkable and earned the film praise from numerous publications, not only for the originality of the story and quality of the acting, but also the effects employed throughout the film.

Dr. Jack Griffin, played by Claude Rains, quickly moves from harmless pranks to senseless murder in this thrilling piece of cinematic history. This remains one of the most violent of all the classic Universal Horror Monster movies, as Jack Griffin has a higher kill count than almost any villain in horror cinema history, with over 105 kills (thanks to the train derailment). While it often falls behind Dracula and Frankenstein in conversations, this H.G. Wells movie holds its own and remains a masterpiece of horror cinema almost 100 years later.
