The premise
Four explorers are summoned to Peru by the brilliant physicist Dr Thorkel. They discover a rich source of radium and a half-mad Thorkel who shrinks them down to one-fifth their normal size when they threaten to stop his unorthodox experimentation.
Horror Vault's take
Deep in the Peruvian jungle, a reclusive physicist has discovered something extraordinary — and terrifying. When a small team of scientists arrives to consult on his work, they quickly realize that Dr. Thorkel's genius has curdled into dangerous obsession. What follows is a desperate struggle for survival against an adversary who holds all the power, in every sense of the word. This early technicolor gem pits ordinary people against one of classic horror's most memorably unhinged antagonists.
