dr cyclops (1940)

"Strange how absorbed man has been in the size of things!"
Dr Thorkel (Albert Dekker) is a mad scientist who lures a number of doctors to his South American jungle laboratory. Once he gets their opinion on some specimens he tells them they can return home, much to the scientists annoyance. When they start poking around, Thorkel warns them, but will they listen? Of course not and Thorkel decides to cut them down to size, in his own way!

A fun b-movie, full of over sized hazards for the shrunken cast. Directed with verve by the man who brought us King Kong.
