Creature from the Black Lagoon
I do not know if you noticed but there seems to be great deluge of classic movies in VCD format and prices have plunged. One can get a lot of these vintage movies for only ninety-nine pesos, all original.
There is large pool of VCDs to choose from Casablanca, Bride of Frankenstein, The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance and a lot others. Available also are a lot of 1950s monster and science fiction classics.
Several nights ago we sat down to watch the creature from the Black Lagoon. The film still has its moment of interest; it keeps you glued to the screen. Makes you wonder how the filmmakers did it; while the rest of the actors had aqualungs the gill man did not even had bubbles coming out of it suit often. I guess it’s the illusion of film. The story was also interesting in that most of the facts about fish and rotenone were correct. And it was amazing to see a black and white film with actual fish in it. Being enthralled in fish myself I enjoyed checking what type of fish there were in the film, both saltwater and freshwater.
Its not scary but it still is interesting and a bit creepy.
