Quite an impressive film given when it was released. James Whale had Claude Rains' body wrapped in black velvet and had him stood in front of a black velvet background to achieve invisibility. Just reading through how all the effects were done was astonishing.

That line “that funny little hat. I always liked it.” hits different even though he’s completely gone, there’s still a part of him that remembers how much he loved Flora. The way he softens around her, even in all his madness, makes him feel less like a monster and more like a broken man holding onto the last bit of tenderness he has left.

Perhaps the best Universal horror film of the 1930s and 1940s.

A truly thrilling and gripping film that creates its own atmosphere and features groundbreaking visual effects for its time.

Had the time of my life watching this oh my god. Claude rains gives a great performance, it's so important to be big when you can't see the actors face and his moments aswell as his distinct voice make the character. Laughed my ass off at the bit where they chased him around when he was in just the shirt and honestly I'd be just as pissed if people kept messing with me while I was doing something, which is downplayed in the movie because they are constantly on him in the book. Such a great movie.
