The Invisible Man vs. The Human Fly (1957) Review

Eight years later after THE INVISIBLE MAN APPEARS, Mitsuo Murayama’s THE INVISIBLE MAN vs. THE HUMAN FLY tells the story of a series of mysterious murders where the only clue is strange buzzing noise at the scene of the crime… could this be linked to secret wartime experiments in shrinking humans to the size of insects? And can a scientist who’s just invented an invisibility ray be the one to stop it?

What a wonderful title, it sounds like the ultimate B-Movie showdown so imagine my surprise when it turns out to be just as flat and workman-like as its predecessor THE INVISIBLE MAN APPEARS. Director Mitsuo Murayama and writer Hajime Takaiwa really needed to let their hair down and have some fun with this flick rather than deliver something serious. It screams out for camp and tongue-in-cheek.

There’s a couple of unintentionally funny scenes that brighten up the mood, such as where a cop attempts to quietly follow someone through a subway at night making the LOUDEST clip-clop clip-clop sound and still not manage to draw any attention to himself. And you also have to marvel at how a fly-sized man manages to crawl around a semi-naked woman’s body without her ever feeling him do so. This could have been so much more interesting, instead it’s just as flat and lifeless as it’s predecessor.
