## Story

The movie begins with a scientist named Carl Maia bringing in Captain Lucas, David, Reed, and Kay Lawrence to show them a fossil of an aquatic creature that was around for almost a millenia ago. David and Kay ask if he knows what kind of creature it is, but Maia says that it does not fit to any of the creatures found in the worldwide database. The group decides to go on an expedition to see if another one of these creatures exist in the lagoon he found it in, some locals know it as the Black Lagoon. They leave. They travel to the Black Lagoon in a speedboat that has has a life scanner and armed with harpoons and guns. Kay and David ask if the weapons were necessary, and Maia says that it is a worse case scenario situation if something does attack. They travel further into the Black Lagoon while some ACDC is playing on the radio. Then, the scanner picks up a singular organism. Lucas and David aim their harpoons at where the creature is located, and they fire. Surprisingly, a creature comes out of the water, revealing it as a aquatic fish man, a Gill Man if you will. They start shooting at the creature. A few bullets hit the creature, making it roar in pain. David and Kay are fascinated by the creature's height, appearance, and capabilities. The Creature kills of Maia by tearing his face in half. Lucas comes out and fires a harpoon at the Gill Man, this pisses the creature off and it bites a chunk of Lucas' head off. David pulls out a flare and throws it at the creature. The Creature shrieks in terror and flees into the lagoon. David and Kay are horrified at what they saw. They see a man stranding at a hut. They meet the man who reveals himself as a man named William Abbott, his friends call him Bud. David and Kay ask how long he has been there. Bud reveals that he has been there for 3 weeks, he was sent here for an investigation for an agency called Prodigium. It's revealed that the creature is part of an ancient race that was rumored to be protectors of Atlantis. But in time, they were wiped out, and this was the only Gill Man left. It's revealed that Prodigium wants to contain him in order to study him. David and Kay tell Abbott that they have a plan to capture the Gill Man. Abbott decides to help them. They go to the boat that they were riding in and find some rotenone, a drug used to knock out fish when fishing. Kay goes into the weapons room and gets some harpoons and guns. The group go outside and enact their plan. David pours the rotenone in the water, while Abbott and Kay ready their guns and harpoons. The Gill Man is unaware of the trap, but gets distracted by the rotenone and gets up. Abbott and Kay fire their harpoons at the Gill Min, causing him to be in pain. But, the Gill Man rips the harpoons out of his chest and attacks Abott and Kay. David gets out an AK-47 and starts shooting at the Gill Man. The Gill Man is weary due to the rotenone, but manages to slash Kay in the chest. Kay starts bleeding, David rushes to Kay to see if she is alright. Abbott grabs an assault rifle and starts shooting the Gill Man. Kay dies as the slash was too fatal, and David is enraged. He grabs a harpoon and gets on the back of Gill Man, in an attempt to kill him. The Gill Man manages to grab David by the head, but David rams his hand inside one of the Gill Man's gills and starts to tear through the inside. The Gill Man roars in pain and throws David off of him. Abbott fires a bullet into the Gill Man's gills and the Gill Man falls into the ocean. Abbott and David bring Kay's body to a raft and they leave the Black Lagoon. A day later, Abbott and David have a funeral for Kay, and bury her near the Amazon River. Abbott radios for some help, and a couple days later at a local village, Prodigium helicopters drop by, with Henry Jekyll coming out and congratulating David and Abbott for taking down the monster. David and Abbott get into one of the choppers and leave. One of the Prodigium soldiers tell Jekyll that there was no body at the Black Lagoon, causing Jekyll to have concern as this was the 2nd time that a monster disappeared, that being The Invisible Man. A few weeks later, David and Abbott look through a couple files that include the monsters. Abbott tells David that Dracula was the first monster that they were coming for after the first Van Helsing's death. David asks about the others. Abbott clarifies that Frankenstein's Monster, The Wolf Man, and The Invisible Man were found the last month. David asks what is happening. Abbott reveals that an enemy company called A-Sync is also hunting monsters, but for a different reason, and there is a rumor that Dracula is assembling an army of monsters to wipe out humanity. David asks how many more monsters there are. Abbott reveals that he does not know how many, but they could be a danger to all humanity.
