Escaping from the State Home for the Criminally Insane where he had been incarcerated following a quadruple murder, the brilliant but mad Dr. Kevin Dornwinkle assumes the alias of Dr. Kevin Smith, summer school physics teacher. In his spare time Dr. Kevin perfects his invisabilty serum and rediscovers a childhood interest in anonymously observing young women in various stages of undress, before going on another killing spree, this one of his students.
Yep this is one of those movies. Anchored by a commited, odd ball performance from Noel Peters as Kevin, 'The Invisable Maniac' is an uneven film but really delivers in its final act killing spree. Even with its strange premise the movie goes in some unexpected directions, including a prolonged nightmare/dream sequence for the janitor character which seems to be there to pad the running time and up the number of bare breasts in the film. A fairly compotent production it mostly knows what it wants to be, but gets a little lost occasionally. **1/2
