Storyline

A budding young scientist lad is caught by his mom checking out the lady across the way with his telescope, whereupon she lectures him on the evils of women. Twenty years later and all grown up, the scientist announces his theories of invisibility, and his colleagues laugh, to which he responds by killing four of them. He escapes from the loony bin and gets a job teaching summer school physics at a high school. The students decide to tease him about the same time as he perfects his invisible juice, and he goes on a spree of vengeance.

Goofs

Dornwinkle (the Invisible Maniac) tosses a radio into the water on the shower room floor, electrocuting one of the girls as she's taking a shower. A few scenes later, the same radio (the masking tape on the speaker gives it away) is on a table in the cafeteria, playing tunes as two students eat lunch.

User Reviews

Brilliant

Basically this film does exactly what it says on the tin.

-IE-....He's invisible and ...yes....he's a maniac.

Like a weird mixture of a Carry-On and Friday the 13th...or....errrr...or something ! Plenty of tits on display to boot as well . Mind you some of the murder scenes to be fair.. do tread a bit of murky waters...of taste ...admitedly

...And do high schools in America really have such low class sizes of ...er...6 or so?!? ... Anyhow the sheer silliness and crudeness of this film and the laugh out loud classic "jock"-fightin fight scenes towards the end make this a truly great if demented Benny Hill-esquire type of comedy-horror
