The Invisible Maniac (1990)

If you don't like this, we can't be friends.

everything you have heard about this movie is true.

I cannot think of one single thing that I would change about this film. The acting is incomparable, the directing deft, and the writing poignantly brilliant.

It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.

The Invisible Maniac (1990) was another in a long line of intentionally bad movies. This one features the legitimate film debut of legendary porn actress Savannah. Straight film roles were very few and far between for her. Unlike Traci Lords she couldn't make the transition and her career and life went on a downward spiral. Enough background information, let's get back to the movie.A mad scientist pervert creates a formula (not unlike the one the D.O.C. tried to produce) that allows him to become invisible. Whilst defying the laws of nature, this bespectacled pervert likes to rape and fondle women and cause all sorts of havoc. Soon a few people become wise to this psycho-nerd's actions and do their best to stop his sexual high jinx. But just when you thought you have stopped him, he's comes back awaiting for the never produced sequel.Recommended for bad movie lovers.

Take one look at the cover of this movie, and you know right away that you are not about to watch a landmark film. This is cheese filmmaking in every respect, but it does have its moments. Despite the look of utter trash that the movie gives, the story is actually interesting at some points, although it is undeniably pulled along mainly by the cheerleading squads' shower scenes and sex scenes with numerous personality-free boyfriends. The acting is awful and the director did little more than point and shoot, which is why the extensive amount of nudity was needed to keep the audience's attention. In The Nutty Professor, a hopelessly geeky professor discovers a potion that can turn him into a cool and stylish womanizer, whereas in The Invisible Maniac, a mentally damaged professor discovers a potion that can make him invisible, allowing him to spy on (and kill, for some reason) his students. Boring fodder. Don't expect any kind of mental stimulation from this, and prepare yourself for shrill and enormously overdone maniacal laughter which gets real annoying real quick...

Okay guys, we know why we watch film like "The Invisible Maniac" (just look at the cover, man!). T and A all over the place (with a lot more T than A). But...shouldn't there be a story to go with it?"C'mon," I can hear you say - "this is just girls gettin' naked! Who needs a story??!"Well, if this were called "The NAKED Maniacs", I wouldn't have a problem. But since these guys are cribbing from "The Invisible Man", they need to have a bit of story hereabouts, you know, to keep your mind busy.However, all they can muster up is how this crazy doctor creates an invisibility serum and, when he cracks, uses it to spy on naked women and ends up killing a lot of teenagers. And when you see the smarmy-looking teenagers he goes after, you'll be grateful.One star, for the T and A, but there's a little too much gore for you skin fans, so proceed with caution.TIDBIT - yes, it's THAT Savannah.

Almost atypical shlock horror, with maniac professor spurned by mother as a child for watching nekkid chicks through his telescope rather than studying the stars, spurned again for a failed invisibility serum, the side effects of which cause him to kill those fellow profs who laugh at him.Escaping the asylum, he turns up at a high school as a locum physics teacher, but perfects his serum on the side and spends his time disposing of the (mostly naked) female students who mock his gimpish looks. Electrifying some in the shower (cue much breast jiggling), drowning others in the fishtank (er, breast jiggling) and strangling with the firehose (you've guessed it, jiggling breasts here too!).That's basically it. The girls are all very watcheable, but the maniac himself is from the overacting school of overacting and it really gets pretty silly in places.Amusing skit at the end where the everpresent newscaster inexplicably loses here clothes on camera, suggesting the maniac is still around after all and a sequel is on the cards.For some reason that sequel never came. Whether that's a good or bad thing I'll leave to others. I would have watched it had it been done!
