Plots(1)
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. (official distributor synopsis)

The American film The Invisible Man Returns is an example of how a sequel may not be as good as the original film, and yet it still has something to keep the audience interested. That’s also the case long after the film's premiere. The special effects are great and Vincent Price didn't underestimate his role. The filmmakers really played their cards right, and that's a good thing. The film isn't downright dark, though it does have some good scenes, but it’s the playfulness that makes the film entertaining. You will enjoy watching it.

Even though the first film is better, I was pleased to see that this sequel isn't (or doesn't feel) hot needle stitched, but the filmmakers really went the extra mile. I just think genre-wise it's no longer a horror film, but more of a noir adventure film. A big plus is Vincent Price, who has no problem delivering the advancing madness using only his voice, and again the stunts are great.
