DVD Description
One rainy night, Dr Garondet is summoned to the castle of Professor Orloff. Making it to the castle on foot, the good doctor meets Cecile, Orloff’s daughter, a seemingly deranged girl who is convinced that an invisible phantom is at large on the premises. Orloff explains the story behind Cecile’s insanity to the doctor – a tale involving premature burial, grave-robbing and flagellation – and invites him to stay over. As Garondet spends an uneasy night in the castle, he finds himself sharing in Cecile’s delusions.
A great ‘B’ movie, with plenty of cinematic irony. Crumbling castles, dandyesque clothing and buxom wenches all give it the authentic sexploitation feel. The camera angles add that dangerous and unpredictable quality.

Castles, ye olde Europeane costumes, weird camera angles, women who disrobe at the mere appearance of a baddie, dodgy plots.....everything which the hardened fan of 1970s sexploitation could wish for. Yes I KNOW it's pap- but it's better than the sanitised rubbish we usually have to put up with these days. And its harmless good fun.......

A film by Pierre Chevalier who way as well be jess franco as he throws everything you would expect from the Eurocine studio-nudity,a limited cast and a plot that losses the plot. This inculdes premature burial,grave robbing and flagellation. nice. The whole film has a great gothic feel but do not be fooled by the dvd cover showing zombies and the tag line"God help us if they rise again" there are no zombies AT ALL! In all this is a enjoyable film if you don"t expect too much and it certainly does not deserve its 18 certificate.

'Orloff Against The Invisible Man' sees a doctor (a proper one, not a mad one) called to Orloff's castle by a young urchin, he gets fleeced on the way by the coach driver and ends up walking to the castle before being met by the staff off oddballs at the castle, the maid, the butler, Orloff and his daughter, all of whom are 99p short of a £1.
It's oddly enjoyable, it's cheap, poorly edited, the actors seem to be speaking English for the most part but it's dubbed, the plot ties itself up in knots that it can't loosen and when the 'invisible man' is unveiled you'll gasp with laughter at how bad it is while trying to take your eyes off the actress playing Orloff's daughter who has more bush than Australia after all her clothes were torn off like tissue paper in the previous scene.
It's not the greatest film of its type but its far from being the worst and the cover has nothing whatsoever to do with the film claiming 'God Help Us...If They Rise Again!!!', I'm guessing they told the artist 'Just draw a picture and draw it quick!'.
