Review of Creature from the Black Lagoon (1954) by Matthew C — 13 May 2011
I have a Universal Monsters calendar at home, and this month is The Creature form the Black Lagoon month, so I decided to re-watch this film. I must admit, it is a cheesy monster movie...but I'm a sucker for a good B movie as long as it as a good script and good effects.
The story is engaging, putting the audience into the story (considering this was originally in 3D), and the costume is amazing for its time. 2 actors played the creature: One for the land scenes and One for the underwater scenes.
.. I love the iconic scene of the Creature following the female character underwater. I hear a remake is in the works, and to be honest, I'm curious at what can be done. Until then, the original gets 4 fish heads out of 5.
