Creature From the Black Lagoon
One of the crowns of the creature features, "Creature From the Black Lagoon" has us journeying with a team of scientists deep into the Amazon in search of the remainder of a strange age-old skeleton. Originally presented theatrically in 3D using a polarized light technique requiring two synchronized projectors, the process unfortunately does not lend itself to video, therefore leaving us with only two dimensions, but just as exciting an adventure.
Having nothing but the skeletal hand of some bizarre creature, the scientists return to find not the rest of the skeleton but only their two guides left to guard the camp dead, killed by some creature of the jungle. Believing that the rest of the skeleton may have washed down river, the team heads in the direction of the Black Lagoon. Here they find more than just as ancient skeleton, but a living specimen, powerfully dangerous and determined to make them a thing of the past.
Although it doesn't contain such fearsome faces as Hollywood horror greats Lugosi, Karloff, Rains or Price, a wonderful story, directing and acting, not to forget a fantastic costume, propel this movie smoothly along as one of the great monster movies.
Paretnal Note: Violence, Frightening Scenes
The disc is single sided - dual layered and contains the original widescreen version of the movie. The mastering is terrific, as are the extras.
