Grant Williams, Randy Stuart, April Kent
1957
After Scott Carey begins to shrink because of exposure to a combination of radiation and insecticide, medical science is powerless to help him.
What a delightful and disconcerting piece of cinema. The gradual transformation of Scott Carey is rendered with an eerie and engaging realism that holds the viewer in a vice-like grip of fascination. The blend of science fiction and existential dread is a perfect concoction for fans of the genre, and the black-and-white cinematography adds a timeless quality to the unfolding drama. It's a poignant exploration of humanity's place in the world, with a touch of camp that only enhances its charm.
