Description
In this classic sci-fi/horror flick, a somewhat mad scientist
discovers an element in the Amazon jungles which can reduce the
sizes of living organisms. He tests this on a visiting party of
scientists (plus local guide) and zaps them down to under a foot in
height. The shrinkees face many obstacles (including some which
would confound normal-sized folks), lose a couple of their number,
manage to break one lens of the very nearsighted doctor's glasses
(thus turning him into a metaphorical "cyclops"), and finally lure
him into a deep well, which kills him. The victims slowly return to
their normal sizes. A great genre film from the guy who gave us
KING KONG. Catch it.
