One of the most fondly remembered “Creature Feature” of all time is back on our screen to enjoy!
Perfectly blending Universal’s classic monster heritage with the science-fiction explosion of the 1950s, this drive-in fave tells the mythical story of a dangerous half-human, half-fish creature lurking in the depths of the Amazon. After discovering a unique prehistoric claw fossil on an expedition deep in the jungle, scientists investigate its origins which lead them directly to a mysterious creature. Led by ichthyologist David Reed (Richard Carlson), the men try to capture the monster who has become obsessed with David’s assistant, Kay (Julia Adams). Originally released in 3-D, this thrilling adventure inspired sequels, TV series and more that continue to strengthen the monster’s legacy to this day.
“A classic horror that warms the heart.” – Kim Newman, Empire Magazine
“Creates a moody ambiance around a simple core idea, executed excellently. It is a visually stunning and well-designed film that both entertains and thrills, leaving a lasting impression.” – Kristy Strouse, Film Inquiry
