Synopsis of Creature from the Black Lagoon
The Creature, an amphibious, prehistoric man-monster, inhabits the primordial depths of a tropical lagoon undisturbed until scientists intrude upon his domain. Variously interpreted as a monster from hell and a primitive innocent provoked to violence, the Creature belongs to a tradition of misunderstood monsters that include Frankenstein’s monster and King Kong. Science-fiction master Jack Arnold sensitively handles the erotic interplay between the Creature and the beautiful woman he desires. Shot in 3-D.
