If The Incredible Shrinking Man hit the spot, these will too

Both are Jack Arnold's work, and they rhyme
The difference: Lighter on dream logic

Both are working the same pair: shrinking, radioactivity

Both are built on the same subject: black and white
The difference: Played as drama first

The same preoccupation in both: surrealism
The difference: Made in the 1970s, in a different era of the craft

One thread runs through both: black and white

The same mix in both: ideas, then dread

Both lean on unease more than on science fiction

Horror with a pulse of ideas, in both cases

Adventure built on dread, twice over

Dreamlike horror in both cases

Unsettling science fiction, and it commits to that

Adventure built on ideas, twice over
In the mood for more cerebral?
