A Good Creature Feature
Creature from the Black Lagoon is a pretty decent old creature feature. The Gill-man is pretty cool and you don't see him in horror films often which adds bonus points to the film.
The story is not that bad - a group of scientist searching for fossils that are ill-equipped to face the dangers of the gill-man. But it is the scientist in the film that I was not overly crazy about. To me, there should have been at least one of them wanting to study the creature a lot better - totally insisting on it with fierce intensity! It was just too many scientists there that did not want to use scientific methods - instead they wanted to hunt and kill the poor creature.
Outside of the weird scientists the movie is still enjoyable for an older sci-fi horror film.
8.5/10
IMDb: Creature from the Black Lagoon (1954)
