Comment/Synopsis

After a man (Grant Williams) is exposed to a strange mist he starts shrinking, has to live in a dolls house and then gets trapped in the cellar after his wife (Randy Stuart) thinks he was eaten by the cat. This is a very good film that focusses on the psychological effects of shrinking in size to a few inches, both for him and his wife. The effects are also good for the period.
