Review of Creature from the Black Lagoon (1954) by Dr. F P — 12 Mar 2013
This is one of my favorite monster movies, the Gill-Man creature actually freaks the cr*p out of me and I don't mind saying it. There's just something about old school FX that gets to me. Anyway, the underwater scenes are pretty unnerving, I know that sounds ridiculous but when the woman (I forget her name) is swimming along leisurely and he is underneath following her, that is sort of freaky and well made.
I think this as well as the iconic creature makes the black lagoon such a popular choice. What I LOVE about monster movies is that when the monsters are played right I always feel for them on some level as opposed to backing with the humans.
