Steve Y Of the two of them, people always assumed Kinski was the mad one. After watching this, I'm not so sure. This type of film is right up my alley. Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 09/19/25 Full Review Simon T Much as I love Herzog's later dramas and documentaries, this aimless and plotless experiment forced me eventually to give up. Whereas masterpieces like Aguirre, Nosferatu and Fitzcarraldo are anchored by mesmerising performances by Klaus Kinski and strong narratives, this self-indulgent story of renegade dwarves is simply a way of using up film stock. Uninvolving, tiresome and dull. Rated 1.5/5 Stars •  Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 03/04/24 Full Review Michael M This movie portrays a whole lot of straight up animal torture. For your own good, don't watch this film. Rated 1/5 Stars •  Rated 1 out of 5 stars 01/21/24 Full Review Brian R like having a freakish dream except this wastes an 1-1/2 hours of your time. was hoping Mr. Herzog would create a film that could be added to some of his other great works but it wasn't Rated 0.5/5 Stars •  Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 12/28/20 Full Review Audience Member Absolutely dreadful. This could have made an interesting short (as the premise of an all-dwarf film is quite arresting) but watching 90 minutes of cackling dwarfs creating mayhem is enough to try anyone's patience. Still, maybe this is what gave Joe Dante the inspiration for Gremlins so something positive may have come out of it. Rated 1/5 Stars •  Rated 1 out of 5 stars 02/13/23 Full Review Audience Member This has simply got to be one of the oddest films ever made. It's hilariously unique, establishing some of the running themes in Herzog's succeeding work, and not failing to create a brilliant allegory.
