Review of The Creature Walks Among Us (1956) by Aj V — 08 Nov 2010

This film was rather bleak compared to it's predecessors. It starts when a group of scientists set the famous "Creature" on fire, which manages to burn most of it's gills away. The result is.

......well, I do not really know how to describe it. Looks like a human frog hybrid, or a deformed slee-stack creature. I don't know how to describe it and the result is rather hilarious. The rest of the story follows the now more human-like creature in captivity by the most ignorant scientists of the world, which eventually leads to the escape and attack of the creature on it's captors.

It's pretty downhill from there, since this takes place during the climax. And the creature doesn't attack a whole town full of people like it's previous films, but just a small house full of scientists.

The story is bad, the acting is bad, but there is a small physiological subtext involved. It is how the creature knows he won't be able to go in the water anymore because of humanity. Great job, scientists!!!!!
