Tod Browning was not a director of one film. Although it is generally known to most as the creator of Freaks (The Freaks) back in 1932 and especially Dracula in 1931, with Bela Lugosi, and say that you have other outstanding works.
One of those tapes is this (The devil-doll) which at first was called The Witch of Timbuctoo, written exclusively for him.
Incredibly, Browning did not win either Dracula or with Freaks. With the first, Universal was not satisfied due to inconsistencies and Bela Lugosi script, while the second reviews were terrible and tore down the director's career.
was in the mid 20's when you get the real success, after recovering from a depression, abandoning his wife and alcoholism, he signed with MGM and after The Day of Faith, The Unholy Three is marked (The Unholy Three) a success would be repeated in a sound remake in 1930 with the same actors (this is the only sound appearance Lon Chaney).
Thus, we produce a series success in the late 20's as human jaws, a masterful story about a love triangle between circus characters, told in barely 70 minutes.
And after that, as I said, the failure would ensue with what are now considered his greatest works.
You could say that this film is the last along with Milagros sale, after which retire to a house in Malibu, where in 1942 his wife die and he would plunge into depression and cancer at the end of his life.
About the film that tells the story of a banker who escapes from a prison on Devil's Island, which has been submitted by false accusations of his three former partners. Obviously, you are looking for revenge, and regain the love of a daughter who always hated him for something he did not.
Through a friend, he discovers a potion that reduces the size and possess beings as slaves, and that's where he begins his revenge.
Arguably, this story is something like a freak version of The Count of Monte Cristo Dumas wrote already.
rub overacting actors and makeup are a bit loud, but see special effects like these , at the time they are shot has merit and beauty. When I saw this movie, immediately afterwards I went to see The Incredible Shrinking Man, by Jack Arnold (1951), which would repeat a similar formula, towering in the series B of the time. The comparison is odious, but I have to say that Arnold is far more boring than Browning. I do not mean that resemble arguments, but infernal dolls to have a growing pattern in which the characters reduced gag is a technical, while that of Jack Arnold is based solely on the action film and does little more , since it takes advantage of the social rejection that being has to bear no relations with his wife when it is small (moviegoer who gives nod Almodovar Talk to her and I think it's great. When one is tiny Fele Martínez seeps into the vagina of his lover).
recommended is a film with a simplicity typical of Browning, as the use of topical or droll characterizations, but that entertains a lot, is brief and tells a story of betrayal, revenge and paternal love, in which there are costumes, tiny slaves , theft, murder and final depression.
Rating: 8
