Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaThis was broadcast on television as a late-night movie on the evening of June 17, 1972, during the notorious Watergate burglary in Washington DC. If Alfred C. Baldwin III (who was watching this film in his room of the nearby Howard Johnsons hotel across the street as a lookout for the Watergate burglars) had not been so engrossed in a broadcast of this film, he might have sooner warned his colleagues of the three plainclothes police detectives who arrived at the building and made the historic arrests.
- GoofsAlthough the actors take great care to ensure, when handling containers with tiny humans inside, that they are always facing the camera, sometimes they get it wrong, revealing that the figures are flat photo cut-outs.

Featured review
Reasonably entertaining entry into the 50s sci fi/horror genre.
Star John Hoyt was always interesting to watch (check out his brief but commanding performance as antique shop proprietor Nils Dryer in "The Big Combo").
The basic theme of this film had, in fact, already been tried out the year before in the vastly superior "Incredible Shrinking Man". However, the 'puppet twist' (good name for a song!) was certainly an original touch.
Co-star John Agar is smoothly competent and does his best against the odds.
Strictly for those whose tastes lean towards the ultra-cheesy variety of midnight movie fare.
