But we expect that from 1950s science fiction films, which I think works in the movie's favor (although decades too late). Although this film has had rather negative reviews over the years and holds a poor ranking on IMDb, there is a special kind of enjoyment in this film, and any with John Agar and / or directed by Bert Gordon. BIG production that is fun.Ī lonely, deranged puppet-master (John Hoyt) designs a machine that shrinks people. For me the most fun scene is that with the little girl, played by Gordon's real life daughter Susan, comes into to get her doll fixed and finds a matchbox. He literally has a short fuse! The other actors are competent if nothing else. John Agar plays the man who has fallen in love with Hoyt's newest blonde bombshell secretary. Hoyt gives a heartfelt and tired performance. Cyclops made with Albert Dekker the previous decade. It is an inferior film in every way to the impressive Dr. It doesn't have the greatest story or acting or effects, but it has heart. Ultimately I liked Attack of the Puppet People. One little person even gets to sing a hip rock song. Much of the film is used to let Gordon showcase his effects as the little people are surrounded by large objects. The film starts out with many puppets already "made" and then shows how Hoyt creates some, interacts with some, how some try to escape and so on. Gordon does it again he creates a film with a pretty ridiculous script, interesting if not always impressive special effects, and an entertaining film notwithstanding. What should you do if your wife leaves you for another man? John Hoyt, playing a German puppeteer, decides that he will devise some incredibly complex scientific device that miniaturizes the people he likes so they will never again leave him.
