Not merely the best of Jack Arnold’s classic science fiction films of the 1950s, but one of the finest films ever made in that genre. After being contaminated by what may or may not be nuclear waste, Grant Williams finds himself slowly shedding the pounds until he reaches truly miniscule proportions. It is what Richard Matheson’s script does with this basic material that makes the film so gripping and intelligent... his entire relationship with the earth changes, with cats, spiders and drops of water representing lethal threats in the surreal and endless landscape that is in fact his house’s cellar. A pulp masterpiece. (Time Out)
