Creature from the Black Lagoon

CriticsCritics: 74
AudienceAudience: 7.0

A scientific expedition into the Amazon encounters a mysterious amphibious creature believed to connect human and aquatic life. As the researchers debate whether to capture it for study, the creature defends its territory and becomes drawn to a member of the group.

My take

You’ll enjoy this if you like brisk, atmospheric classic monster films with sympathetic creatures and old-Hollywood charm; Not for you if you prefer modern scares, complex characters, or graphic horror.
