A classic Universal monster… and a modern horror reinvention that took audiences by surprise.

In this episode of Mart and Trev’s The Deja Review, we compare the ground-breaking horror classic The Invisible Man, directed by James Whale and starring Claude Rains, with the intense psychological thriller The Invisible Man, starring Elisabeth Moss.

The 1933 film became one of the defining Universal monster movies, famous for its ground-breaking visual effects and the terrifying story of a scientist driven mad by the power of invisibility. Nearly ninety years later, the 2020 remake reimagined the concept as a modern horror thriller, focusing on paranoia, abuse, and the terrifying idea that someone you can’t see may still be watching.

Mart and Trev break down the history of the original film, the evolution of invisible effects, the different approaches to horror, and how the story changed across generations.

Does the 1933 classic still stand as the ultimate Invisible Man story…

or does the 2020 remake bring the character terrifyingly into the modern world?

Because sometimes… the most dangerous monster is the one you can’t see.
