From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Invisible Terror (German: Der Unsichtbare) is a 1963 West German science fiction crime thriller film directed by Raphael Nussbaum and starring Hans von Borsody, Christiane Nielsen and Ellen Schwiers.[1] Stylistically it is closer to a standard Krimi film rather than a horror in the tradition of The Invisible Man.[2] The film's sets were designed by the art director Nino Borghi. Location shooting took place around West Berlin. It premiered at the Europa-Palast in Duisburg.[3] It was broadcast on television but never released cinematically in the United States.[4]
