CGiii Comment
It's very old and it is entertaining...in an old-fashioned kind of way.
The special effects are fantastic (with visible strings and all)...but, you can't help marvel at the ingenuity adopted by all those involved.

The(ir) Blurb...
Working in Dr. Cranley's laboratory, scientist Jack Griffin was always given the latitude to conduct some of his own experiments. His sudden departure, however, has Cranley's daughter Flora worried about him. Griffin has taken a room at the nearby Lion's Head Inn, hoping to reverse an experiment he conducted on himself that made him invisible. Unfortunately, the drug he used has also warped his mind, making him aggressive and dangerous. He's prepared to do whatever it takes to restore his appearance, and several will die in the process.
