Review of Revenge of the Creature (1955) by Dan B — 06 Oct 2009

Fun sequel doesn't have the atmosphere of the original film, but does play up the Beauty and the Beast concept. When the creature is taken out of the black lagoon and put in a marine park (probably the inspiration for Jaws 3), he begins to bond with the female scientist researching him.

Of course he escapes and basically becomes a creepy stalker, following her throughout Florida. It doesn't sink into the repetitive patterns of the first movie, but it also doesn't have the claustrophobic feeling either.
