Ultimate Sci-Fi and memories of the first time seeing DR. CYLOPS at the Saturday matinée. Busy throwing popcorn at girls and nursing a cherry Root Beer. Just a couple of years later, and with full attention toward the screen, wow, all the stuff I missed earlier. There actually was a story between the scary parts. A mad scientist, Dr. Thorkel(Albert Dekker)secluded in a Peruvian jungle lab, develops a method of shrinking objects to one-fifth their normal size. The doctor's megalomania seems to bust its boundaries and Thorkel invites a panel of his peers to the jungle to witness his procedure. With some evil manipulation and to their horror, his guests become miniaturized and the pint-sized group will struggle to escape the jungle. This movie was just so unique for a while. And movie goers left to discuss how the special effects were achieved.
