Very interesting film. Was caught on the premise when seeing the trailer but unsure as to what the outcome would be for the showing. As it turns out, it was a very good film.

It is an exhilarating, distressing, funny and profound film, with one of the more memorable film scores in years,

I respect Creature from the Black Lagoon for being one of the Universal Horror Classics, but it's actually not that good. The story is just too thin and the blaring horns in the soundtrack are more annoying than frightening. Gill-man's costume still looks great, though, and the underwater scenes are impressive. I'm glad I saw it, but I probably won't watch it again.

Like many, I fell in love with 'The Shape of Water' movie in 2017. After watching it at home yet again, I then bought a DVD copy of 'Creature from the Black Lagoon'... I love the older Sci-Fi & monster type movies, and had not seen 'Creature' in a very long time.
Wow! I was amazed at how much this old B&W film from 1954 still entertains. A well told horror tale, full of beautiful underwater scenes - and beautiful Julie Adams! And there is some honest to goodness science speculation, throughout this fun Saturday afternoon 'creature feature' popcorn classic, that appealed to the science-loving geek in me... The DVD I found also has an excellent commentary track with a ton of interesting tidbits on the film, and other nice DVD extras. I found a copy a month ago at Big Lots! for just 5 bucks & tax. Was the best 5 bucks I've spent in many a moon.... Cheers!

The underwater stuff looked great and it also looked excellent for the age. Really stunning picture quality and great 3D effect, only issue was the dissolves were at a lower quality. Pretty standard sound design for the time. Nothing exciting and nothing wrong. Quite an interesting story but it has a stupid looking monster. Overall enjoyable vintage fare.

Creature From The Black LagoonUnlike as its genre suggests it isn't scary or frightening at all even though the attempt is admirable and the background score work in its favour and addition to that what's appreciative here is that somehow they have managed to pull off the vision considering the restrictions or constrictions in visuals or technology. Creature From The Black Lagoon stands apart in respect to those Dark Universal features and yet is one of them for it doesn't just focuses only on an individual characters but gives enough range to each and every characters floating around the primary ones which shows the excellence in writing and even execution. The creature that was supposed to scare the bejesus out of the audience fails on so many level that it feeds only on its primary objective directed to it for it isn't saved by a performance like Boris Karloff or Lon Chaney. Creature From The Black Lagoon is intriguing enough for the audience to invest in it and even though it may not win them the whole package back it won't get petty or childish which was easily possible.
