An insane high school science teacher (Noel Peters) solves a problem that has plagued mankind for decades. How can we spy on chicks in the shower without detection, become INVISIBLE! What a premise, what a payoff, what a flick! The Invisible Maniac is schlock at it's best, a movie about a guy who becomes invisible to get revenge on the students who enjoy making his life hell. Of course he finds time to sneak into the women's showering facilities more than once to catch a peak and I don't blame him. While made in 1990, Invisible Maniac has all the pure and unpretentious qualities that made the 80's so special. Everyone is sex crazed, the girls take lots of showers, and and invisible science teacher is trying to kill 'em all. What more could you ask for?The movie keeps its tongue firmly in cheek, but does so in a smart way. Deliberately being cheesy, over the top, and exploitative The Invisible Maniac follows the formula but manages to be a bit different here and there. I won't get into too many specifics, but the virginal heroine doesn't save the day. The dialogue is hilarious, the characters cliche (but fun), and they never miss a chance for some good old fashion female nudity. Savor each and ever scene featuring the lovely Melissa Moore and Shannon Wilsey and their "friends". Never has comedy, horror, and soft core porn came together to give us such a landmark film! Call it misogynistic if you want, I just call it fun. If you're into this kind of flick (you know who you are) then your life won't be complete until you see The Invisible Maniac. R.I.P Shannon Wilsey.

This movie had plenty of shots of the cheerleaders without their clothes on (especially Savannah and Melissa Moore), and was about a physics teacher who spied on them while perfecting an invisibility formula. Might be a waste of your time. It was a pretty hokey movie.*1/2 out of ****

Almost atypical shlock horror, with maniac professor spurned by mother as a child for watching nekkid chicks through his telescope rather than studying the stars, spurned again for a failed invisibility serum, the side effects of which cause him to kill those fellow profs who laugh at him.Escaping the asylum, he turns up at a high school as a locum physics teacher, but perfects his serum on the side and spends his time disposing of the (mostly naked) female students who mock his gimpish looks. Electrifying some in the shower (cue much breast jiggling), drowning others in the fishtank (er, breast jiggling) and strangling with the firehose (you've guessed it, jiggling breasts here too!).That's basically it. The girls are all very watcheable, but the maniac himself is from the overacting school of overacting and it really gets pretty silly in places.Amusing skit at the end where the everpresent newscaster inexplicably loses here clothes on camera, suggesting the maniac is still around after all and a sequel is on the cards.For some reason that sequel never came. Whether that's a good or bad thing I'll leave to others. I would have watched it had it been done!

Here's an interesting little movie that strictly gives the phrase "low budget" a horrible name. Our physics teacher who has about nine kids creates a strange serum that causes "molecular reorganization". Students are hopelessly killed from fake coincidences of submarine sandwiches and flying school supplies. Sounds like a resurrection of classic B-movies from the 50s, right? Nope! It's not an example of high camp fun, which is way, WAY off the mark. A glamorous showcase of breasts and butts ensues our desire for pleasure, opposing the horror that should have had 99.44% more in the first place. Bottom-of-the-barrel entertainment at its best, aided by pints of red blood and dead student bodies. Atrocious movies like this would make the ultimately catastrophic GURU THE MAD MONK (1970) the work of an intelligent genius who has a Master's degree in film production! It's an automatic "F", so rest easy!
