SHOT BY SHOT: MEETING GILL-MAN IN ‘CREATURE FROM THE BLACK LAGOON’

Posted on by

Will Digravio and Film School Rejects present SHOT BY SHOT: MEETING GILL-MAN IN CREATURE FROM THE BLACK LAGOON.   If you’re a fan of The Creature of the Black Lagoon, then you know the scene.  Kay Lawrence (Julie Adams) is taking a swim while unknown to her, the Creature is right below her.  It’s a tense, exciting scene and Digravio does a fine job of taking us through it.

I do have one nit to pick though.  Digravio wrote…

By all accounts, Creature from the Black Lagoon is not a great film. It’s a classic and loved by those (like me) who think that Gill-man is one of the coolest monsters.

I beg to differ.  Creature from the Black Lagoon is a great film.  It is a classic and loved by those who think the Creature is one of the coolest monsters, and by those who love classic (monster) films!
