Attack of the Puppet People Reviews

Bizarre horror/sci-fi from special-effects master Bert I. Gordon stars Hoyt as a lonely dollmaker who has developed a way to shrink people. He miniaturizes anyone unlucky enough to step into his shop and keeps them around for amusement. Most of the victims are teenagers who don't really mind their shrunken state because they don't have to go to school anymore and can spend their time dancing to rock 'n' roll records for the goofy dollmaker. Along comes troublemaker Agar who does not like being small and fights to regain his stature. Good miniature work and clever camera angles pull off the special effects, but the story is pretty silly and good only for laughs.
