Review of The Incredible Shrinking Man (1957) by Dawdlingpoet — 24 Nov 2021

This is very much a 'curio' of a film. The old fashioned special effects appear pretty farcical nowadays but its certainly an entertaining watch never the less. It made me chuckle to see that its part categorised as a horror film - suffice to say its really not frightening at all, with potentially the exception of a moment towards the end featuring an insect.

This is like an old fashioned one person 'The Borrowers' or 'Honey I Shrunk The Kids' type film, only in black and white. The plot isn't very thoroughly thought out. I found the ending a little abrupt, for one thing.

I would recommend this if your particularly interested in classic old horror/sci-fi films.
