The Incredible Shrinking Man
A fascinating adventure into the unknown!
Directed by Jack Arnold
Produced by Universal International Pictures
A haunting existential nightmare where a man's progressive shrinking becomes a metaphor for loss of identity, agency, and masculine power in a world that grows increasingly hostile and indifferent.
A dangerous combination of radiation and insecticide causes the unfortunate Scott Carey to shrink, slowly but surely, until he is only a few inches tall. His home becomes a wilderness where he must survive everything from spiders living in the cellar to his beloved cat.
