★★

Plot: A mad scientist obsessed with shrinking people subjects his colleagues to an experiment.

Review: This film's monotonous plot and near-total lack of characterization detract from its great sets and effects.

Year: 1940 Genre: Sci-Fi Horror Country: United States Language: English Runtime: 1 hour 17 minutes

Director: Ernest B. Schoedsack Writer: Tom Kilpatrick Cinematographer: Henry Sharp Editor: Ellsworth Hoagland Composers: Gerard Carbonara, Albert Hay Malotte, Ernst Toch Cast: Albert Dekker, Janice Logan, Thomas Coley, Charles Halton, Victor Kilian, Frank Yaconelli

-----

Story: 1.5/5 - Dull and dragged-out. The characters start off with some personality, but quickly lose it in favor of just silently running around and scaling large objects.

Performances: 2.5/5 - Range from okay to unnatural. Dekker is a very one note villain.

Cinematography: 3.5/5 - Great colorization and solid shot composition.

Editing: 3/5

Music: 2.5/5 - Often overbearing.

Effects & Props: 4/5 - Quite advanced for the time, using things like rear projection and a giant robotic arm to create the illusion the protagonists are tiny.

Sets: 4.5/5 - Once everyone is shrunken, the sets are the absolute highlight of the film. Very well done and almost whimsical.

Costumes, Hair, & Make-Up: 3/5

Trigger Warnings:

Mild violence

Brownface

Racist depiction of Mexican people

Animal experimentation

Animal death
