Creature From The Black Lagoon - Movie

i assume the reviews are posted here so here is me first.

*coughs* old movies dont get viewed much these days by the younger generation and its a shame. the old black and white movies are still just as good as any other movie thats out at the moment. especialy the horror genre. there has been loads of great horror b&w films and one of the best in my opinion is creature from the black lagoon. its one of the original monster movies and it is just plain awsome. the creature is a disgusting sight to see, half fish half man and the noise it makes is creepy. the movie is a decent length and it goes along at a good pace, nothing feels rushed. the first time you actualy see the monster in this is when its claw comes out of the water and scratches along the dirt, you know the monsters going to be kick ass when that happens. the kills in this movie are not realy seen, everything seems to happen off screen which i guess for that time it was understandable. although there was a kill in frankenstein that suggests otherwise. its a typical story, a fossolised claw is found so a team of scientists (marine people realy) hire a boat to go excavateing the site, eventualy they end up in the black lagoon. and its all calm and nice for a while, then the creature shows up and starts causeing mischief with the fishing net. in one scene it swims right under the woman without her noticeing it. the team do try to escape the lagoon but unfortunatly find the creature has trapped them in with the aid of a trusty log. there is a little love side to the creature though, it seems to take a fancy to the woman, silly thing. all in all if you like monster movies and old school horror then i sugest you check this out. you wont go wrong. it has the ploipers seal of aprooval.
