Viewing Notes
Been wanting to revisit Jack Arnold’s classic sci-fi thriller The Incredible Shrinking Man(1957) for quite some time. It’s even better than I remembered and a rather great piece of science fiction with good drama and action. The “shrinking” FX are done surprisingly well aided by some awesome props. Definitely highly recommended and only available as part of a sci-fi collection set (my DVD via Netflix). Needs to be re-released on Blu. Probably Arnold’s best film.
