One of the most iconic science fiction movies of all-time, Creature from the Black Lagoon is a groundbreaking classic showcasing Hollywood magic at its best. When scientists exploring the Amazon River stumble upon a “missing link” connecting humans and fish, they plan to capture it for later study. The creature has plans of his own, however, inspired by the lead scientist’s (Richard Carlson) beautiful fiancée (Julie Adams).
“In 2024, the Gill-Man remains one of the most recognized monsters in the world. But none of that could have happened without William Alland’s original concept, without Ricou Browning’s elegant underwater performance or Ben Chapman’s animalistic surface scenes. Above all else, it could not ever have happened […] without Milicent Patrick creating one of the most recognizable creatures in film history.” —Nat Brehmer, Medium
“Although it was aimed at teenage audiences, it’s a serious film with an adult sensibility. Its eye for beauty and belief in its ability to hold the viewer’s attention make it feel more like a contemporary ‘art house’ horror movie than a 1950s studio attempt to make an exploitation picture.” —Matt Zoller Seitz, RogerEbert.com
