Saw this recently and was very impressed, especially with the written narrative that seemed to move the story along nicely. Not to mention the fact that the narrative was delivered by none other than Keith "THEY LIVE" David, who is just as impressive a narrator as he is an actor.As a fan of horror/sci-fi, I certainly knew some of the backstory of the Creature From the Black Lagoon, but I learned a whole lot more in this very informative documentary that had a really fast pace, and interesting subject material.There were also nice turns by Academy-Award winner Benicio Del Toro and Arthur Ross, the original writer of the first and third films in the Creature trilogy. Don't want to give too much away, but I will say that this film will capture your interest, even if only a casual movie buff, while also serving as informative for the movie fanatics. And, that's well worth the price of admission!

Looked great Sam. Looked just like a first look and the production value was great. Very informative and now I want to stay up till 3 am to watch it some night. Maybe I ll just go down to the local video store and rent it. I can't wait to see the next thing you do. Hopefully you remember me to cast me. J/k With Hollywood in the midst of a bunch of redo's or do over. I bet it won't be long till we see the creature back up on the main screen. I think your first look will be enough to prompt so action from the suits in Hollywood. I would definitely buy a ticket to go see it. If you guys don't already know it Sam is the new up and comer. I can't wait to see whats next.Great job

It was informative, entertaining, irreverent and silly at times just like the essence of those 50's sci fi movies. It was interesting to see how such a movie as the Creature from The Black Lagoon could have such a profound influence on America. I think not only was this a very good film but also a unique evidence of the great influence of films on the culture. Never would I have imagined such nutters as the guy with the Creature tattoos, the people with the vast COTBL memorabilia collections. Eccentric people like that are interesting. I just like the overall tone of it. Criticisms I have are it dragged on a bit long. SOme of the comments made at the horror film conventions were a little empty and useless. As well some of Benecio De Toro's comments probably should have been edited as they were not worthy of the final cut. But then again nothing is ever perfect. Also the footage of the actual Lagoon with the boat ride was a bit corny. But aside from that, the film is very very good. I think it has a place, possibly on late night on AMC, The Sci Fi Channel, or even as a special bonus addition to Creature DVD edition. Thumbs up.

I was one of the fortunate few to see the very first screening of this documentary. I had gone in with very little knowledge of the Gill-man but a deep appreciation for horror movies, and more appropriately classic monster movies.The documentary explored every aspect of the Creature, how it came to be, and the phenomenon that continues its popularity today. The music and light-hearted comedy keeps the audience attention, while celebrity commentary and actor interviews show the impact of this classic monster.I would recommend this to anyone who is a fan of monster movies, or classic cinema as I'm sure everyone will learn numerous interesting facts they hadn't known before.
