At a science conference, Doc Dornwinkle (Noel Peters) wants to present
his invisibility serum in a self-experiment - but when it fails to work, he's only laughed at
by fellow scientists, so much so that he kills four of them who were not
able to escape fast enough. He's thrown into the loonie bin of course, but
manages to escape. A few months later: Dornwinkle has since assumed
another identity and has become a physics teacher at summer school - and
the target of the jokes of the teens he's entrusted with (among them porn
star Savannah and scream queen Debra Lamb). Dornwinkle still
spends his nights further developing the invisibility serum though, and finally he
has a breakthrough and he tries the serum on himself. Thing is, the serum
doesn't only make the good doctor temporarily invisible, it also makes him
incredibly horny, so he spends more of his invisible time in the
girls' locker room watching (and touching) the naked girls than anything
else. Eventually, the teens take the pranks they play on Dornwinkle
too far, and he decides to retaliate and thus turns himself invisible,
killing the boys and stripping and killing the girls. Only one of the guys
is able to put up a fight, escape the invisible maniac, find out who he
really is, and follow Dornwinkle home to defeat him once and for all. And
just like Dornwinkle, the guy manages to turn himself invisible. Still,
Dornwinkle has the last laugh when he blows his opponent's head off just
before the police arrives and he makes it look as if he himself has
committed suicide ... Nothing special, really, just your
typical low budget slasher - with a sci-fi theme attached and more than the usual amount of
nudity (often displayed in a tongue-in-cheek way. However, the film's comical approach
does give the audience a reason to sit through its highly formulaic plot -
even if that doesn't make The Invisible Maniac exactly a
masterpiece, either.
