The Creature From The Black Lagoon Falls In Love

Rating: 9/10 (20 February 2018)

This slightly weird, yet highly award season friendly, adult fantasy with whips of horror is beautifully made with wonderful performances while the movie waxes lyrically about old Hollywood and fading glories, The cold war narrative is merely a plot device but it does work, and there is no doubt that Michael Shannon is a very nasty villain in deed.Rounding of this very slippery polished movie is a fine musical score which is both at once dramatic and at time's wildly romantic to match the glorious colour palette on screen. All that is left is for me dust down my DVD of the original 1954 flick hiding hiding somewhere in my film collection. 3D anyone?
