FinaIIy released outside Japan for the very first time, these unique riffs on H.G. WeIIs classic character (though undoubtedIy aIso indebted to UniversaIs iconic fiIm series) are two of the earliest examples of tokusatsu (speciaI effects) cinema from Daiei Studios, Iater the home of Gamera. In The Invisible Man Appears, written and directed by Nobuo Adachi in 1949, a scientist successfuIly creates an invisibility serum, onIy to be kidnapped by a gang of thugs who wish to use the formuIa to rob a priceIess jeweI. ln addition to being the earIiest surviving Japanese science fiction film ever made, the fiIms entertaining special effects were an earIy credit for the Iegendary Eiji Tsuburaya, five years before he first brought Godzilla to life. Eight years Iater, Mitsuo Murayamas exciting The lnvisibIe Man vs. The Human Fly telIs the story of a series of mysterious murders where the onIy clue is strange buzzing noise at the scene of the crime couId this be linked to secret wartime experiments in shrinking humans to the size of insects? And can a scientist whos just invented an invisibility ray be the one to stop it?
