I was truly terrified for him. Contrary to some who were not impressed with Grant Williams' performance, I beg to differ. He appeared terrified. Fast forward to 2025. I watched this movie about two weeks ago. I'm still terrified for him. It's a wonderful film with many philosophical & scientific implications. Imagine, shrinking to a point possibly smaller than an atomic particle? Mind-blowing. See more Mike J Jun 8 This movie was released in 1957. The acting is outstanding especially by Grant Williams. We really believe he is threatened by the spider, the cat and the flood. When you consider how long ago this film was made the effects are great. Some may not agree with the ending but most viewers seem to think it points out the courage and will of the human spirit. It is now available on DVD for a reasonable price. It seems to rapidly becoming a cult classic.

The premise of The Incredible Shrinking Man sounds ridiculous but, compared to other sci-fi duds of its time period, it’s well-crafted, surprisingly suspenseful, and filled with existential angst. Of note, the sets, props and special effects are impressive throughout and, despite the navel-gazing final scene and the preposterous premise, the movie is entertaining from start to finish, which is more than can be said for other sci-fi films of the same era. See more John S Jan 25 For what it is and when it was made, this is a fantastic movie. The scaling isn't perfect but the thought that went into how it was filmed is very impressive. Ambitious survival story with effective elements of horror and philosophy - until the end - which was the only part I didn't care for.
