'Orloff against the invisible man' (1970)- Pierre Chevalier.

While frequently lugubrious and unlovely to look at, I adore this coffin-creaky, resplendently goofy, garlic garlanded example of vintage Gallic gothic! Indirectly inserted into Franco's iconic the Orloff cycle, 'Orloff against the invisible man' finds devilishly suave euorocult icon, Howard Vernon on mesmerizingly macabre form as the maniacal professor Orloff. Quite rightly maligned for its sluggish pace, rudimentary FX, and lurid lapses into garish ineptitude, nonetheless, there's plentifully skewed entertainment to be found in Chevalier's bizarro psychotronic gem. Lashings of hot Euro-poon, doomy, rain-splashed dynamics, and a surprisingly robust score by, Camille Sauvage make Orloff against the invisible man such a kooky-spooky, eminently rewatchable, pseudo-science run bloodily amok disasterpiece!
