The doll manufacturing company Dolls Inc. is owned and operated by Mr. Franz, who has a personal collection of very lifelike dolls stored in glass canisters locked in a display case on a wall.

Personally I thought this movie was very well done for it's age and really enjoyable. The first time the shrinking machine is switched on even I was surprised by how loud it was. Also I want a miniature cat it looked fantastic. Taken from my list Films That Feature Killer Toys.

THE GOLDEN AGE. (1919-1948) Although the Golden Age would be defined largely by the output of Universal Studios, the first "all-talking" horror movie was released by Warner Bros. in 1928 and was called, The Terror. In the 30s, it was Bela Lugosi, Boris Karloff, and Lon Chaney, Jr. In the 50s, 60s, and early 70s, it was Peter Cushing, Christopher Lee, and Vincent Price. These were actors who owed most of their fame to the horror genre. They were also able to maintain that fame through the production of more horror films. Footnote:while watching this film one thing kept coming into my mind, Karloff's physique kept reminding me off Lurch from The Addams Family.

The search for Akakor begins in an unexplored region of the Peruvian Amazon. The missing explorer investigation unearths strange rumours about the infamous river guide, Tatunca Nara.

Brugger was convinced and wrote the "Chronicle of Akakor" published in 1976. Brugger was later shot and killed by an unknown assailant in the streets of Rio de Janeiro in 1984. Three other explorers/adventurers maybe more have disappeared while searching for the lost city all have a strong connection with Tatunca Nara although nothing has ever been proven.

Unknown to them another boat in the area carrying a Dr. Miller is witness to her capture and he decides he wants to take her back to his mental institution for further study.
