The Incredible Shrinking Man is a science fiction film. When Scott Carey starts shrinking because of exposure to a combination of radiation and insecticide. There is no way to help him, even medical science is powerless to help him.
Notable for its relatively intelligent script, for some imaginatively amusing special effects, and for an existential streak which finally has our (tiny) hero pondering the meaning of existence.
The surreal intensity of outsize objects that loom as the hero shrinks is handled effectively, and the mystical happy ending is a better payoff than one would expect of the genre.
Williams gives a sensitive portrayal of a man hounded by the media and consigned to a freak's world, whose descent into being and nothingness provides a memorable climax.
