Is this what it has come to?  Watching straight garbage and reviewing it?  Man, I’m not even sure how I found this movie.  I think I saw a picture of the VHS cover somewhere and thought it looked ridiculous.  Is it ever ridiculous!
Invisible Maniac is about this scientist that creates a serum that can make you invisible.  The of course he goes on a spree of peeping on “teenage” girls.  Teenage is in quotes because these girls are easily in their mid 20s to early 30s haha.  He randomly opens shirts, removes bras quickly, your typical teen sex comedy shtick.  This truly is much more of a comedy than it is horror.

The special effects are laughable, there is a scene where he strangles a girl with a firehose whilst invisible and you can easily see the string holding the hose up, they didn’t even try to hide it haha. The acting is awkward at best. The girls are just there to get naked, and they do it fairly often. If I saw this movie as a teenager, I would’ve loved it. There is at least 4 shower scenes in a girls locker room. There isn’t much in the way of kills and really no gore. Everyone in this movie is super horned up the whole time, even the lady principal just needs sex constantly.

I really don’t have too much else to say about this. If you like Troma level comedy, then you’ll probably enjoy this. If you are looking for some gore and horror, then this probably isn’t for you. I did watch the whole movie, I didn’t hate it, so that makes it hard to grade because it is shit. I think I’ll fall on a C-.
