This listing is for the standard edition 2-disc 4k UHD/Blu-ray release. The limited edition slipcover (designed by Robert Sammelin) was limited to 6,000 units and is sold out. The two versions are identical, aside from the packaging.
Ever since he was a child, Kevin Dornwinkle wanted nothing more than the ability to spy on naked women. Traumatized for life when his prudish mother discovers his bedroom telescope pointed at the window of a nude and nubile neighbor, Kevin puts all his focus onto his other interest: science. Decades later, and now a respected physicist, Dr. Dornwinkle has made his greatest discovery yet: "molecular reorganization serum," which has the power to turn a person invisible. But after a demonstration to his peers fails horribly, the mild mannered doctor suffers a breakdown. Focusing all his efforts on perfecting his serum, and succeeding, the now fully unhinged Dornwinkle gets a job as a high school teacher and embarks on a rampage of molestation and murder...
From the mind of acclaimed cult filmmaker Adam "Rif Coogan" Rifkin (Detroit Rock City, Psycho Cop Returns), comes THE INVISIBLE MANIAC! As lurid, sleazy, funny, weird, bloody, sexy, and original as any exploitation film can be, THE INVISIBLE MANIAC stars Savannah (New Wave Hookers 2), Stephanie Blake (Ferris Bueller's Day Off), Melissa Moore (Samurai Cop), Clement von Franckenstein (Fantasm), and Noel Peters as the perverted Dr. Dornwinkle. Never legally released on disc, Vinegar Syndrome is delighted to offer THE INVISIBLE MANIAC on UHD and Blu-ray for the first time, fully restored in 4K from its 35mm camera negative and featuring a bodacious selection of extras, including cast and crew interviews and deleted scenes!

"This was so much more entertaining than I thought it would be. I was expecting the 4 Bs of B-movies; boobs, blood, bad acting and boobs. And what I got was. . . well, that. But in an entertaining way. Everyone involved clearly knew they were making cheap crap to fill rental store shelves, but they didn't play it like they didn't care. They were having fun and it shows. Its stupid as hell, but made me laugh and had enough nudity that I kept waiting for it break out into actual porn."
"The Invisible Maniac is a new take on a familiar character. It’s exactly what you hope it would be. Join our titular Maniac as he breaks new ground in Physics and uses his findings to see the stellar cast naked. Ms Cello is a hidden gem among the cast. When he finally snaps and the killing spree starts, he kills with a glee while dropping one liners and laughing away. This 4k is a beautiful transfer of a movie I never heard of prior to the release. The mono sound is clear and the soundtrack is a lot of fun at times. Good gore and fun kills. If you like slashers and want a good time along the way, this could very well be the pick for you. This was a total blind buy and has quickly become something I’d suggest to anyone."
"The Invisible Maniac is a wild mix of horror, comedy, and shameless exploitation. The absurd story, exaggerated performances, and playful special effects make the film entertaining from beginning to end. Noel Peters fully embraces the madness of the lead role, giving the film much of its strange charm. Vinegar Syndrome gives this cult oddity the polished presentation and care it deserves. A fun release for fans of ridiculous and unapologetic genre cinema."
"The actors (not characters) are doing everything short of actually impaling themselves for real to sell these fights. It carries over the comedic yet sinister energy of the original Universal Invisible man. But with boobs. Frankly a very good times, if not a particularly great movie."
"The Invisible Maniac is definitely a guilty pleasure of mine! It represents a bygone era of cinema, the kind they sadly don't make anymore. Our friends at Vinegar Syndrome have released a fantastic edition of the film with the best possible picture quality. Who would have thought The Invisible Maniac would ever have a 4K release? What a great time for film buffs. Thank you, Vinegar Syndrome!!!"
"This was a blind buy, and in spite of the insane amount of sleaze and T&A it failed to grab me. Nice 4K transfer though!"
"The idea for this movie definitely sounds like fun, but in practice it doesn't lean into the humor or sleaze factor enough to really make it memorable. Fun performances from the main actor and actresses just wish they'd given them a better script to work with!"
"Much better then expected, nice invisible men inspired slasher with some laughs."
"Hh"
"Crazy flick with a lot of great bonus features."
