Dir. Jack Arnold - 1954 - 79m

One of the most fondly remembered "Creature Feature" of all time is back on our screen to enjoy!


Perfectly blending Universal's classic monster heritage with the science-fiction explosion of the 1950s, this drive-in fave tells the mythical story of a dangerous half-human, half-fish creature lurking in the depths of the Amazon. After discovering a unique prehistoric claw fossil on an expedition deep in the jungle, scientists investigate its origins which lead them directly to a mysterious creature. Led by ichthyologist David Reed (Richard Carlson), the men try to capture the monster who has become obsessed with David's assistant, Kay (Julia Adams). Originally released in 3D, this thrilling adventure inspired sequels, TV series and more that continue to strengthen the monster's legacy to this day.


"A classic horror that warms the heart." - Kim Newman, Empire Magazine


"Creates a moody ambiance around a simple core idea, executed excellently. It is a visually stunning and well-designed film that both entertains and thrills, leaving a lasting impression." - Kristy Strouse, Film Inquiry
