Film Description: Universal Pictures introduced audiences to yet another classic movie monster with this superbly crafted film, originally presented in 3-D. The story involves the members of a fossil-hunting expedition down a dark tributary of the mist-shrouded Amazon, where they enter the domain of a prehistoric, amphibious "Gill Man" -- possibly the last of a species of fanged, clawed humanoids who may have evolved entirely underwater. Tranquilized, captured, and brought aboard, the creature still manages to revive and escape -- slaughtering several members of the team -- and abducts their sole female member (Julie Adams), spiriting her off to his mist-shrouded lair. This sparks the surviving crewmen to action -- particularly those who fancy carrying the girl off themselves. Director Jack Arnold makes excellent use of the tropical location, employing heavy mists and eerie jungle noises to create an atmosphere of nearly constant menace. The film's most effective element is certainly the monster itself, with his pulsating gills and fearsome webbed talons. The creature was played on land by stuntman Ben Chapman and underwater by champion swimmer Ricou Browning -- who was forced to hold his breath during long takes because the suit did not allow room for scuba gear. The end result was certainly worth the effort, proven in the famous scene where the Gill Man swims effortlessly beneath his female quarry in an eerie ballet -- a scene echoed much later by Steven Spielberg in the opening of Jaws.

@DARKDOLPHIN666 lol but he doesnt swim like a person coz he isnt one. i thought maybe thats what they were going for, though i could be wrong lol and I guarantee he drank a lot of that water lmao! also greetings

[marineboy090]

i thought the monster swam pretty well. the way he moved side to side. He pretty much got it down =)

[DARKDOLPHIN666]

@Toska2012 yeah, i know that, but what i wanted to say is that the actor, wearing the monster´s suit can´t swim well.... when he wanted to get close to the girl, he barely could move his arms!...and i would bet that he drank some dirty water....lol... greetings!

[Toska2012]

@DARKDOLPHIN666 why would he outswim the thing he is stalking? =/

[DARKDOLPHIN666]

AH!.... THE GIRL SWIMS FASTER AND BETTER THAN THAT CREATURE!.....

i kid you not, this is one of the first scary films i saw as a kid and to this day at age 45 i am still afraid of still water like lakes and ponds and swamps. i surf in the ocean no problem, but i hate still water. because as you see, you can't trust it. nobody really knows what lurking away down there just waiting to grab you. and we expect danger from the ocean, but a lagoon?? never. and THATS how they get you. chalk it down to drowning every time, but its this sombitch that did it.

Say, Steven Spielberg "borrowed" this for the opening shots of "Jwas".
