The Incredible Shrinking Man

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.

Mostly gripping tale of survival against house cat and spider in basement, Movie has some well staged action, and an empathetic lead, But movie ends up unncessarily phiisophical and high minded, That killed the fun,
