3D movies have come so far from their original 3D horror origins in the 1950’s, but with the revival of 3D in theatres it is only fitting to bring back one of the original 3D horror classics, The Creature From the Black Lagoon.
Pre-Jaws underwater terror as intrepid scientists Richard Carlson, Julie Adams and Richard Denning search the Amazon for clues to the Missing Link and his prehistoric past, but instead find the eponymous 50s icon — variously described as a bipedal amphibian, a batrachian, or, simply, “The Gill Man” — equipped with both a nasty streak when his territory is invaded for “science” and a healthy fascination with Ms. Adams and her tight white bathing suit. Their near mating-dance synchronized swimming scenes are uniquely hypnotic, with luminous underwater 3-D photography — unseen properly since the 1950s. Based on an idea by producer William Alland, who played the interrogating newsreel reporter in Citizen Kane. Shown with The Unicorn in the Garden, UPA cartoon version of James Thurber’s story. Approx. 90 min. DCP.
The Creature From the Black Lagoon will be coming to theatres across the US January 27th.
