action

The scientist Dr. Max Vogel made a groundbreaking invention: he developed a radioactive drug that can make a person invisible. Max informs his brother Walter of the sensational discovery over the phone, but then the researcher disappears after a phone call, just as without a trace as in an extremely puzzling way. At the same time as he goes underground, crimes are increasing in which the perpetrator always appears completely invisible.

It begins with the robbery of Max's employer's wages and the murder of a night watchman. It quickly became clear to everyone that only Max could be behind it. But is that really the case? Walter follows the few leads and comes across some inconsistencies. In fact, his brother cannot be the invisible culprit, because it turns out that Max was murdered. Immediately after his act, his unscrupulous murderer took the invention and began to wreak havoc. Finally, Walter succeeds in catching the culprit.

Reviews

"Scary slap of a confusing stupid kind."

- Films 1962/64, p. 180.Dusseldorf 1965

“A never-exciting horror film that desperately tries to create the right atmosphere, but is far too confused and, on top of that, takes itself far too seriously. Instead of joking with the macabre, humor is driven away by pseudo-reality. "

“There are some original moments. But if you want to see more fascinating invisible people, you'd better wait for James Whale's cult film of the same name (from 1933, based on H. G. Wells) or the Hollow Man (2000) with Kevin Bacon. "

"Ridiculous nonsense, which unfortunately takes itself seriously without possessing the necessary qualities."
