Outstanding tribute to a classic film with restored stills, info on production, actors, and those behind the scenes, and a thoughtful look at the plot and memorable message of the movie: “smaller than the smallest, I meant something too”. Scott battles to survive despite dwindling in size. Matheson inspired the likes of Stephen King and all involved with the film would similarly inspire fantastic fiction on screen in later years.
