Eddie Cantillo Creature From The Black Lagoon (1954) Starring: Richard Carlson, Julia Adams, Richard Denning, Antonio Moreno, Nestor Paiva, Whit Bissell, Bernie Gozier, Henry A. Escalante, Sydney Mason, Perry Lopez, Rodd Redwing, Ricou Browning and Ben Champman Directed By: Jack Arnold Review FROM THE AMAZON'S FORBIDDEN DEPTHS CAME THE CREATURE FROM THE BLACK LAGOON Hello Kiddies your pal the crypt critic has returned! :) This time I'm even stronger than ever! This is a film that will make your ladies shriek because she will love this freak. A tale about forbidden love from an amphibious creature. Creature From The Black Lagoon tells the tale of an expedition team of marine biologists looking for the remainder of a fossil of a creature from the Devonian age. They come across an amphibious creature who traps them in the black lagoon so that can Kay's beast after just one look at her. The team have to find a way out before it's too late. The movie was made during the atomic age where people weren't necessarily frightened by the likes of Dracula, The Wolf-Man or Frankenstein's Monster. Universal went into production on the creature from the black lagoon which was inspired by a myth about a race of dangerous half-human, half-fish creatures living in the amazon river. It's a beautiful looking film, probably my favorite film in Black&White, I would love to see a remake someday but it has yet to come. They go for the King Kong, beauty&beast kind of story between the Creature and Kay. I don't blame him she was very beautiful, which is why he's my favorite of the universal monsters- a monster who has a heart full of love but is seen as hideous and just can't catch a break. The acting is pretty good, it was different time so they spoke different but it still holds up. Jack Arnold has done quite a few monster films I believe, this is probably the one most hold in high regard. What can I say that hasn't been said already Creature From The Black Lagoon, it holds up, has a great story and I just love this film. I'm giving Creature From The Black Lagoon a five out of five.

Matador07 ***Spoilers***One of the most famous of the old school man in a rubber suit 1950s classics, but you know what? It's always been mismarketed.CFTBL wasn't the story of some horrible amphibious jungle creature terrorizing a group of scientists out on a boat leching over a token very busy and completely worthless pretty girl.Instead, this was the story of a group of violent bullies invading some shy creature's living space, harassing it, attacking it, shooting it with a spear gun by way of greeting, drugging it repeatedly, kidnapping it, and then getting all huffy when it tries to retaliate. I mean sure, it killed a couple of native guides early in the movie, but as any student of history or movies will tell you that's just what you did back then with indigenous extras.But after that? A pretty one sided bit of Earth bound Captain Kirking. I think the poor thing finally decided to just take the girl and leave because she was the only one who hadn't physically assaulted it by the end of the film. And so our roving gang of science thugs then conduct a home invasion and mug the creature in it's own living room. The poor thing should seriously lawyer up and seek reparations.

Ian (Flash Review)A great classic piece of 50's monster fright. Scientists searching for fossils encounter a gilled man beast. A debate ensues whether to take it alive to study it in the name of science or to kill it….only because it has been terrorizing and killing them. Ha. The costume is great and obviously fake in a charming way and there are lots of underwater scenes (innovative for the time?). There was a really tense scene of the monster following an unaware female swimming in the lagoon. Several unsurprising cheesy scenes but it was good fun nonetheless. Overall, the film felt a little thin.

Richie-67-485852 Most excellent entertainment at the time causing many to see this over and over for time well spent. A night out, a good movie, some chow and a date was the norm. Today, this flick holds for chills, thrills and the music score helps it do just that and more. Its a formula that works time and again. A mysterious expedition into the unknown where deaths and destruction await, add a woman, several characters and the adventure begins and discovery takes place. You will find yourself choosing sides with the different actors as they all express their point of views in their acting roles with the funny thing being that sympathizing with the Creature is an option too. I mean after all, he didn't get up one day and go looking for trouble but instead, it came to him and he handled it. If you get into the story, what Creature wouldn't try to protect itself and other things while they are at it. This one is no exception displaying intelligence and being crafty too but also taking unnecessary risks but then again maybe not. Only the Creature would know. This movie starts with intrigue and has some mystical philosophical discussion in it that compliment and set-up the story premise. You even start to think for yourself while watching. Good snack movie with a tasty drink to be sure. Its a fun, entertaining, thought provoking movie. All it needs is a viewer or two
