Review of Creature from the Black Lagoon (1954) by Jason O — 03 Sep 2009
A scientist studying in the Amazon finds an fossilized hand that looks both human and fish. Intent on finding the full fossil, he gathers a team to travel upriver to where they could have washed out. It turns out to be a living fossil as a gil-man starts picking off the members of the expedition.
He has a particular fondness for the lady-scientist (as do I, she was a really beaut) and tries to abduct her. He is tracked down and done away with with. I think I built this one up in my mind too much before seeing this and anticipated more similarities with Swamp Thing.
