The Invisible Ray reminded me a little of Tarzan the Ape Man. Tarzan was made in 1932 and The Invisible Ray i 1936. The Africa scenes were similar in that the "White Hunter" image was going on and in today's age the way it was done in both movies is very dated and annoying.
That aside, this movie has Bella Lugosi and Boris Karloff in it, as well as Frances Drake. They seriously overact and no one can play a mad scientist like Mr. Karloff. They all meet in a Carpathian mansion where Karloff, though married, is a mad scientist mamma's boy. His work with Radium X take him to Africa in search of a meteor.
The glowing man scenes are fun. I will give this movie 3/5 acorns.
