In all honesty, the movie has terrible quality, but I thought it was interesting that they used various colored frames to add texture. The film…

science fiction novels, The War of the Worlds and The Invisible Man.

Throughout The War of the Worlds and The Invisible Man it is very evident to the reader that these two novels are very…
