The Invisible Man(1933)
A scientist's experiments with invisibility turn him into a madman. For more about The Invisible Man and the The Invisible Man Blu-ray release, see The Invisible Man Blu-ray Review published by Kenneth Brown on September 28, 2012 where this Blu-ray release scored 3.5 out of 5. Starring: Claude Rains, Gloria Stuart, Henry Travers, Una O'Connor, William Harrigan, Forrester Harvey Director: James Whale » See full cast & crew The Invisible Man Blu-ray, Video QualityIn many ways, The Invisible Man looks every bit as good as some of the other films included in the Classic Monsters collection. But look a bit closer and you'll begin to see all is not well with its 1080p/AVC-encoded video transfer. Grain is present but sometimes ungainly, giving way to faint artifacting (watch the backgrounds for the most obvious examples, watch cheeks, brows and suit coats for more subtle instances). Gray tones play host to numerous anomalies, each one fairly negligible on its own, but piling atop one another to create a minor but mounting distraction. And print blemishes, though kept to a notable minimum, creep into the image; lines, specks, fluctuations and other inconsistencies. Fortunately, the rest of the presentation impresses. Soft shots are just that: soft. Nothing more sinister. Noise management software and other cleanup techniques have been utilized, but responsibly and judiciously, with the integrity of the film ever at the forefront. Black levels are deep, fine detail is terrific in many a scene, edges are neatly defined, contrast is on point and... well, let's just say The Invisible Man constantly defies its age. Truth be told, there are plenty of shots and sequences that beg for a higher score. Some will disagree with my assessment outright. Keep your eyes peeled, though, and you'll start spotting the initially invisible beasties that knock the presentation down a notch. The Invisible Man Blu-ray, Audio QualityThe Invisible Man's two-channel DTS-HD Master Audio Mono mix isn't prone to as many problems as its video presentation. Dialogue is reasonably clean and clear for a film rapidly approaching its 80th anniversary, muffled voices are a factor every now and then but are generally handled as well as can be expected, and sound effects are rarely misprioritized or distorted. Substantial hiss isn't an issue either, and the noise floor that rests beneath the soundscape isn't nearly as intrusive or off-putting as it could be. Of course, LFE output and rear speaker activity don't enter into the equation, even though two options -- a Master Audio Mono track and a lossless 5.1 remix -- would have provided horror fans, new and old, with the best of both worlds. All in all, Universal's restoration of the original audio elements doesn't result in the creation of a unbridled lossless monster, but it's effective enough to raise the hair on the back of your neck. I, for one, was pleased. Blu-ray bundles with The Invisible Man (1 bundle)
