Sci-Fi Classic Review: CREATURE FROM THE BLACK LAGOON (1954)

As the last of the Universal Classic Monsters, the Gillman puts an interesting spin on a familiar formula.

If you're looking for a "review" in the traditional sense, then let me just say I love this movie. This video, however, is a "review" in the literal sense (using the Miriam-Webster definition "a retrospective view or survey"), in that I'm going over the history of the film and its place in sci-fi cinema history.

In other words, please stop commenting on how my videos aren't what you consider "reviews."
