TrueJoshNight Truly Dreadful Film

Spoonatects Am i the only one who thinks........Average?

Tobias Burrows It's easily one of the freshest, sharpest and most enjoyable films of this year.

Cissy Évelyne It really made me laugh, but for some moments I was tearing up because I could relate so much.

hellholehorror The underwater stuff looked great and it also looked excellent for the age. Really stunning picture quality and great 3D effect, only issue was the dissolves were at a lower quality. Pretty standard sound design for the time. Nothing exciting and nothing wrong. Quite an interesting story but it has a stupid looking monster. Overall enjoyable vintage fare.

Escalante, Sydney Mason, Perry Lopez, Rodd Redwing, Ricou Browning and Ben Champman Directed By: Jack Arnold Review FROM THE AMAZON'S FORBIDDEN DEPTHS CAME THE CREATURE FROM THE BLACK LAGOON Hello Kiddies your pal the crypt critic has returned! :) This time I'm even stronger than ever! This is a film that will make your ladies shriek because she will love this freak. A tale about forbidden love from an amphibious creature. Creature From The Black Lagoon tells the tale of an expedition team of marine biologists looking for the remainder of a fossil of a creature from the Devonian age. They come across an amphibious creature who traps them in the black lagoon so that can Kay's beast after just one look at her. The team have to find a way out before it's too late. The movie was made during the atomic age where people weren't necessarily frightened by the likes of Dracula, The Wolf-Man or Frankenstein's Monster. Universal went into production on the creature from the black lagoon which was inspired by a myth about a race of dangerous half-human, half-fish creatures living in the amazon river. It's a beautiful looking film, probably my favorite film in Black&White, I would love to see a remake someday but it has yet to come. They go for the King Kong, beauty&beast kind of story between the Creature and Kay. I don't blame him she was very beautiful, which is why he's my favorite of the universal monsters- a monster who has a heart full of love but is seen as hideous and just can't catch a break. The acting is pretty good, it was different time so they spoke different but it still holds up. Jack Arnold has done quite a few monster films I believe, this is probably the one most hold in high regard. What can I say that hasn't been said already Creature From The Black Lagoon, it holds up, has a great story and I just love this film. I'm giving Creature From The Black Lagoon a five out of five.

spencergrande6 Man, that suit is really something. I had the pleasure of seeing this on 3D Bluray and it looked fantastic. Del Toro said something about it being a perfect blend of form, design and shots which really makes sense because when the Creature is swimming around and soaking wet he looks truly real - - like an actual honest-to-God fish man, dead eyes and gawping mouth and the whole works.The plot on the other hand basically devolves into a serious of cat and mouse scenes. There's some hints of sci-fi with its evolutionary origins, but that's all the brain really gets out of this one. The swimming scene with Julia Adams and the Creature is pure balletic grace.

skybrick736 Creature from the Black Lagoon, the last great classic monster film produced by Universal films. Set in Brazil, the filming locations were really well done, making the area look like it could actually be the amazon. The creature itself is what makes the film so special. The monster suit, dead fish eyes, and underwater movement of the creature is fantastically well done. The swimming scenes are absolutely incredible and life like, especially when it ducks in the weeds and stares at its prey. It's a behavior that is completely realistic for what the viewer sees as a primitive creature. The story itself is rather simple and the film goes by quite fast. The lead actress, Julie Adams also was a bright spot in the film, having great screen talent and an incredible body to say the least. The film lacks in originality having the typical beauty and the beast theme but it still manages to entertain as a film from the 1950's, a time period not necessarily known for great horror films. Check out Creature from the Black Lagoon, certainly worth the watch if you can sit through a black and white classic.
