Review of Creature from the Black Lagoon (1954) by Destructob7 — 28 Jul 2021
Classic Universal Monster Tale, reflects a sense of Originality!
The Gill Man unlike a lot of monsters at the time came from an original and fresh idea, whereas monsters like Frankenstein, the Wolfman and Dracula have appeared in various fiction, including there own films. Even to this day, the costume design is top notch and the underwater sequences are impressive considering the time. The Gill Man's characteristics may mirror King Kong but he's still an awesomely designed monster. If this is your first time watching this, please consider the time period and DONT compare it to modern films. The Gill Man is often overshadowed by his older brothers like Dracula, Wolfman and Frankenstein but he deserves more spotlight, he was familiar but original and its a monster flick that still entertains to this day.
