Product Description

Featuring groundbreaking special effects, The Incredible Shrinking Man is considered one of the most innovative and thought-provoking films ever made. When Scott Carey (Grant Williams) encounters a mysterious radioactive mist on a boating trip, he soon finds his life taking on a bizarre and frightening twist. His physical size begins to diminish as he shrinks to a mere two inches. Suddenly, ordinary household situations loom over him with lethal intensity, a playful cat becomes a demon and a spider is a gargantuan monster. Carey finds he must rely on his wits to survive in his new oversized world in this sci-fi classic that remains as terrifying today as it did over 50 years ago!

4.0 out of 5 stars Enjoyable Vintage
Reviewed in the United States on December 31, 2020

In order to enjoy this film, you're going to have to enjoy a time capsule back to the fifties when we didn't have fast paced computerized special effects, adrenaline pumping chase scenes. It's a time when animals were created by the industries robot team. Today we sniff at such crude attempts at reality, but in the fifties this was really cool stuff for a much more sheltered and innocent time. It was fun to go back and watch. Just right for the grand kids also. Nothing so over the top to warp their developing brains. What I especially am interested in is at the end of so many of these old sci-fi fictions is that the ending usually has a thought-provoking moral take on the events of the story. They aren't afraid to sum things up or cast a light on outcomes as related to God. So radically different than today. So much hate and intolerance for that sort of thing now. But seemingly very little outrage for murder, sex, or raw language. Sign of the times. I enjoyed this movie and the kids were fascinated from beginning to end. And I could relax knowing there was absolutely nothing to filter or be watchful for in the movie.

No spoiler alert: It's definitely one of the best sci-fi movies of the 1950s. The "special" effects are excellent for the time and the acting is more than sufficient.

5.0 out of 5 stars VERY well done 8Mbps transfer
Reviewed in the United States on July 3, 2014
Verified Purchase
TISM is a true 1950s sci-fi classic and I wish it was available on BD, but until it is this is a first-rate DVD transfer that looks great when played thru my snappy Sony 4K. Seriously folks, 4K upconverts DVDs into near BD quality when 1) the transfer is 480p (into the 8Mbps range or higher) and 2) when the DVD is in the wide-screen format. This transfer is about as good as it gets: excellent print, high res, and in a modified "full screen" format so that everyone is not squished down and made too short and wide and big-headed. I will say as a word of caution I am watching on a 25" Asus computer monitor so it may not look as good on a big-screen. As far as the film itself, it is a little "talky" for the first 30 minutes and I could do without Scott's little walk (well, it HAD to be little didn't it?) to the sideshow and subsequent coffee with the female midget, but everything builds up to the truly EPIC basement scenes that are, IMHO, among the very best from the 1950s era fantasy/sci-fi genre. His battle with the spider had me CRAWLING on the floor when I was a kid, twisting myself in knots trying to give Our Hero some sympathetic magical help. The whole battle is a classic and beautifully done so that even CGI-jaded youngins will be impressed. Then we come to the final scene as Scott accepts his fate and his inner monologue becomes a transcendent elegy to himself and all mankind as he crosses the boundary between the fantastically small and the fantastically large. The final 2 lines are among the most moving in the history of cinema, and you will have to watch the movie to find out what they are. In my opinion, this is one of the 100 greatest movies ever made.

5.0 out of 5 stars More Than jsut 50's Science Fiction
Reviewed in the United States on September 17, 2013

The Incredible Shrinking Man deserves to be called a "classic movie" in that it is still relevant and entertaining to this day. It also deserves the title Science Fiction because it gives us more than special effects and fantastical adventure. It uses Science as a springboard to provoke thought and say something about human kind's soul. That is what real Science Fiction is about.
The film's special effects are more than good enough, the acting is good to so-so, and the movie has effective adventure with giant spiders and cats; flash flooding amid everyday household items made large by the main character's shrinking malady. What makes the film special is the script by Richard Matheson and the pensive ending added on by the director Jack Arnold that takes this Sci Fi adventure to the next level of classic film and true Science Fiction. The ending of this movie is organic, it goes where it has to go. It is also extremely creative. By the time we follow Scott Carey to the window looking out into the world, we understand his feelings and marvel at his courage as he looks at what lies in his future. It is an upbeat ending that fits. It is 1950's Science Fiction that goes beyond the aged but fun Sci Fi of its day.
The package is bare bones. No extras worth noting beside trailers, and I had no problem with the price. It is the movie I wanted to see after so many years of wondering why it was not on DVD. It is a very good movie, even after almost 60 years and that in itself is a strong recommendation.

Richard Matheson es un muy recomendable autor que hay que leer.
Para quienes aún no lo conocen (aunque hayan visto, sin saberlo, varios de sus cuentos llevados a la pantalla en el ya icónico programa "Dimensión Desconocida"), esta película es una más que correcta forma de introducirse en su obra.

El autor mismo hace la adaptación de su novela a la pantalla (si bien la novela se llamó inicialmente sólo "The shrinking man";y lo de" incredible" se lo agregaron en ediciones posteriores a la película).
Y esto de entrada es tranquilizante para el espectador; pues tiene la garantía de que lo que se haya quitado (por ejemplo, no hay hija, en la película), lo que se haya aumentado (no había ratonera en la novela), lo que se haya modificado (la llegada a la feria ocurre de manera muy diferente) fue decisión del propio autor.

La película, de 1957, muestra efectos especiales que dejan la boca abierta.
En un momento en que no hay computadoras, ni existe digitalización de imagen, lo que nos ofrece la pantalla es asombroso incluso hoy día.
No sólo se trata del mobiliario agigantado para mostrar cómo el personaje central, Scott Carey, va encogiéndose. No sólo se trata de los "props" enormes como aquél lápiz, esas tijeras, la caja de cerillos...
Se trata además, del manejo inteligente, muy inteligente, de la técnica de filmación "capa sobre capa", que permitía (y todavía ahora) filmar varias escenas una sobre la otra y presentarlas como una sola. De este modo podemos ver el ataque del gato, la persecución de la repelente araña; o la discusión entre Carey y su mujer Lou con la enorme diferencia de tamaños.

Sin afirmar que es una grandiosa cinta, sí se trata de una película que, si acaso ha envejecido, lo hace con enorme dignidad y decoro, y que se disfruta con gran deleite. Nos lleva atrás, a esos días de matineé sabatina donde los cines presentaban doble programa.

Y no puede dejar de mencionarse los mil y un mitos que corren en torno a esta cinta. El principal, la muy mala suerte que tendría el actor central, Grant Williams, después de este filme; o el muy sonado abandono de actores durante la filmación, pues les parecía que tenían muy escasas escenas; y hubo por tanto que reemplazarlos a casi todos, etcétera.

El paquete llegó en optimas condiciones. Recomiendo esta película no sólo por sí misma, sino para interesarse en leer los muchos libros del genial Richard Matheson.

1957 science fiction classic. Grant Williams gives an exceptional and poignant performance as the title character. Beyond the special effects, rudimentary by modern standards, is the story of a man coming to understand the universe and his place in it. Talented, tall, athletic and good looking, it's a shame Williams' career in movies never took off, although he did have some success in the Hawaiian Eye TV series in the early 60s.
