The Invisible Man Returns is among the most somber horror films of the 1940s, and an early chance to see Vincent Price play the type of stylish role that would become his trademark. The Oscar-nominated special effects are quite good, including John P. Fulton's photographic tricks and Bernard Brown's sound enhancements. Milton Krasner's cinematography is suitably moody. Austrian-born Joe May was near the end of his prolific career when he directed The Invisible Man Returns; in an interesting change of pace, May was one of the writers on Universal's screwball comedy classic The Invisible Woman, released in late December of the same year.
