Professor Orloff, known biologist, after numerous attempts, comes to the discovery of the invisibility formula. Thinking well to capitalize on the endless years of studies, it ends up creating an invisible being able to dominate the world, but slowly that is outside its control. A doctor - immediately contacted by the desperate daughter of Orloff - came to the castle to shed light on the mysteries and rumors that hover around the left figure of the mad scientist ...
Orloff Against The Invisible Man , which we translated into Erotic Nights Invisible Man, using the figure of the mad scientist (the sadist who had already terrified Orloff and disfigured young women The diabolical Dr. Satan of Jesus Franco ) sunteggia the style of the Gothic in vogue in those years (ancient castles scattered from the world, engaged in torture chambers, crypts, deafening rains that befall the cursed castle) knocking him down ' interior of a plot where the bulk of the events can in the right to direct their dusty tunnels of success, saying something new with its own train of thought and internal consistency.
In role of the scientist author of the birth of the creature is invisible Howard Vernon , Born Mario Lippert, always perfect, thanks to his physical features in the representation of a form of decadence suffering from the loss of her daughter (the meteor Brigitte Carva ) victim a cardiac arrest. Situation that is brought to existential heights of intolerance, an extreme condition of the lost and lonely man, through the slow narration of the events that led to the death of the first and subsequent sprouting of all'infausto madness. And 'the birth of the man-monster wrist and losing control of the situation and a victim of despair begins to experiment and test their own folly, which, combined extraction of years of study, he comes to the creation of a representation to be ape- extrinsic and free his inner evil, a kind of monstrous alter-ego capable of perversions for his master - as well as dutiful loving father - are insusceptible of physical execution, for the beast did not. And they are emblematic of a few key script 'My father is left alone. Do not want to see any friends 'or ' My friends have always teased me for my work, but now I try, it shows! 'raving passionately - but with a serious tone - the fanatical surgeon-biologist at the unfortunate visit to the doctor in his castle (a huge mansion in the south of France). The detachment with reality - as a rational perception of events lands - is accentuated by so slowly, you dig a rut the size of a crater and speeches of Vernon to help in tumbling this general air of desolation. framework that rises to a complete overall thanks to the haunting music of Claude and Camille Sauvage and photography of Juan Fortuny and Raymond Heil leaden tones and grayish times to mark the fault of any human affection.
There is also an atmosphere that seems borrowed from some of the stories of Edgar Allan Poe : funeral, burial and pessimistic where respect for the dead is exemplified by small details and atavistic traditions, such as the inclusion in the coffin of and goods more expensive with the deceased be a medium capable of nell'aldià once, so that the gap is less painful and traumatic. Everything can then be summarized in the union of tradition and destruction. The jewelry, in fact, his daughter will be looted by the same household Orloff after a sacrilegious profanation. There is nothing that can behave to a happy end and the room seems to be empty Orloff theater of pain and at the same hall of 'Hell, where his ' the shipwreck in this sea is sweet ' transmuted into the prey and victim of his thoughts.
There are claims, classic moods based on ignorance and superstition of the local population, this sort of photocopies of the Gypsies of Count Vlad and characteristic of a certain cinema of Jess Franco , which Pierre Chevalier ( The House of Dolls Cruel, Phanter Squad ) seems to want to inspire more than one occasion, at least in the exploitation of the main character, as if to consider his personal interpretation as a natural flow the events of Gritos En La Noche .
and a first time introduction followed by a second part that looks like a punitive expedition by a fleet of executioners (also invisible). The awkward development of a twisted mind, that , seemed destined to upset the natural continuation of the events, is frustrated, rejected by the rebellion of frankensteniana unexpected creature, or rather, by the time Death is always trusted and does not require intermediaries to implement its plans. A sort of divine justice that operates independently of the actions of the protagonists. probably a little step that would have merited a more thorough study is why, that is the explanation of the events that come to blow it for a fall or the catharsis of things. But it's really nothing in the sight of one of the best Gothic horror of all time, a beautiful example of chemistry between depth of characters - buttons emotions in different guises from every pore - gothic horror and sci-fi madness.
The cast to signal the presence of Fernando Sancho.
Orloff's character, still played by Howard Vernon , as well as having played the lead role in the antecedent (1969) black orgies of Dr. Orloff's Santos Alcocer, will return in another three films. Revenge in The House of Usher (French version), El Siniestro Dr. Orloff and closed with one last final to his exploits in Faceless - The night violent, all three direct dall'inossidabile Jesus Franco .
Trivia: the DVD will be released by Italian Mosaic Media June 30, 2010.
