Orloff And The Invisible Man ( 1970 )

One rainy night, Dr. Garondet (F. Valladares) is summoned to the castle of Professor Orloff, but it is not an easy trip - local peasants won´t direct him there, and when he finally locates a willing coachman, his horse refuses to venture beyond a certain point! Making it to the castle on foot, the good doctorencounters even more obstacles until he meets Cecile (Brigitte Carva), Orloff´s daughter, a seemingly deranged girl who is convinced that an invisible phantom is at large on the premises. A surprisingly urbane man, Orloff (Howard Vernon) explains the story behind Cecille´s insanity - a story involving premature burial, grave robbing and flagellation - but as Garondet spends an uneasy night at the castle, he finds himself sharing in Cecile´s delusions…

Alternately intriguing, surreal and entertainingly silly, Orloff And The Invisible Man benefits from the presence of Vernon in his prime, a neat finger-popping jazz score that sounds like it drifted in from a German Edgar Wallace thriller, and a few sequences that are truly mind-boggling. If you thought Bela Lugosi was outrageous wrestling with a stuffed octopus in Ed Wood´s Bride of the Monster, wait till you see Orloff´s scullery maid being attacked by his invisible man! Hell - wait till you see his invisible man!
