Wordiezett So much average

Actuakers One of my all time favorites.

Smartorhypo Highly Overrated But Still Good

Mandeep Tyson The acting in this movie is really good.

mfnmbessert-224-279128 For some reason, I don't know why, I just can't get enough of these terrible VHS bigfoot movies. I guess they just instill some form of nostalgia in me of a time that I wasn't even born in. But anyway, if you're looking for a well-made Hollywood horror film here, then look the other way because this is just straight up low budget bigfoot geek stuff right here. Granted it has some decent scenes within, the acting is the typical badness you would expect from such a film, the premise is equally as predictable, we know what is going to happen pretty much the entire time we're watching it, and yet it's still entertaining to watch.Our cast here is made up of our typical non-actors who probably had to improv half of the dialog, and that is why it is equally as terrible. All of this is what makes the movie great in the first place, I've seen bigger and better produced films than this that were god awful. ('The Final Destination', the fourth film in that series).Nothing spectacular here, and you can get the same thrills elsewhere from countless other bigfoot flicks, namely 'The Legend Of Boggy Creek' and 'The Legend Of Bigfoot' the two this film probably borrows the most heavily from. I'd say they are all probably equally worthwhile, but know what you are about to watch before you watch it.CREATURE FROM BLACK LAKE -----7/10.

Michael_Elliott Creature From Black Lake (1976) ** 1/2 (out of 4) The 70's were full of Bigfoot movies and this one here is probably the best of what I've seen. Two college students from Chicago travel to the swamps of Louisiana where they hope to find Bigfoot. They do find him but wish they didn't because he's in a rather grumpy mood. Outside from very poor comedy bits, this film manages to be quite successful in showing the legendary creature as a fierce and frightening being. The film manages to capture the mood and feel of the swamp very well and all the scenes dealing with the creature are very good. The performances are on the shaky side but what do you expect with this sort of drive-in fair. Jack Elam plays the crazy local and Dub Taylor of Bonnie and Clyde fame has a small role. Cinematography by Dean Cundy.

ZachCryder Even though I may not have enjoyed the movie so far as Braveheart enjoyment goes, I loved this movie. The reason? My grandfather was the executive producer, and two of the actors are my uncle and my cousin, so watching this movie growing up with the rest of my cousins and family was more fun than scary and more laughing at our relatives bad acting. This movie is great if you're going to watch this with friends and family, it will create a lot of laughs in this day and age because we have big time scary movies now, but Creatue of Black Lake isn't one of them. It's just a Louisiana good time.

kfb1960 I remember seeing this movie in the now defunct 'Jerry Lewis Cinemas' chain when I was a teenager. Living in a rural, and I mean rural area, the movie affected my brother and I that summer. My little brother wouldn't go near the woods at our house (all we had around were woods, LOL), and would check all the door locks before going to bed for almost a month because of this movie.Myself, well, I'd get some goosebumps when I was riding my motorcycle through the woods. But back to the movie. You either love it or hate it. Black Lake does have some slow scenes, but does deliver a punch, especially with Dub Taylor's flashback scenes. Jack Elam made the movie for me, I just wished they had given him more screen-time. I loved the way he chewed up his lines!The creature is never really seen in detail, just in shadows or blurry footage, but that adds to the suspense. It's available on VHS or VCD from Bijou Flix. Watched it the other day with my wife and teen daughters....and it did scare them.For its time and budget, a good Bigfoot film IMHP.
