The Amazing Transparent Man (1960)

Director:  Edgar G. Ulmer

Writer:  Jack Lewis

Composer:  Darrell Calker

Starring:  Marguerite Chapman, Douglas Kennedy, James Griffith, Ivan Triesault, Boyd 'Red' Morgan, Cormel Daniel, Ed Erwin, Jonathan Ledford

Tagline:  The Most Amazing Picture Of The Year! He's Invisible! He's Deadly!

Plot:  A crazed scientist invents an invisibility formula. He plans to use the formula to create an army of invisible zombies.



My rating: 6/10

Will I watch it again?  No.


This is one of legendary low budget sci-fi/horror director Edgar G. Ulmer's last pictures and it's pretty good.  The acting is good and there's more story than you'd think for a low budget hour long flick.  It takes a while before Joey Faust is rendered invisible (which isn't to say that it's slow or bad) but once that happens the pacing picks up and it's a reasonably entertaining race to the end.  It's not a bad way to kill an hour on a lazy day.
