Michael C The third and final entry in the "Creature" trilogy (Also known as "The Gillman Trilogy".), the only one of the three movies not in 3D, is the weakest of the series. The movie is not terrible, but it was flat and drawn out in parts. I do not fault the cast. They all do well in their respective roles. My main problem with the movie is that it bored me at times and seemed to take a long time to get to where it was going. Longer than it needed to. Also, exactly how the Gillman transitions from a sea creature to a land dweller seemed way too contrived. I know it is a silly monster movie but the first two movies in the series did not seem have that air of contrivance to them. Also the land creature is nowhere near as frightening as the creature in his original form. In the end "The Creature Walks Among Us" is worth seeing if you have seen the first two movies in the series (The 1954 classic "The Creature from the Black Lagoon" and 1955's "Revenge of the Creature" which marked the big screen debut of a then unknown actor named Clint Eastwood.) but that is the only reason I can think of to see this dull and forgettable movie. Rated 2/5 Stars •  Rated 2 out of 5 stars 09/08/25 Full Review Ted B 3.0 stars; The "black lagoon creature" series was one of the classics from Universal. Of the three, this was my least favorite. The original was best by far. This one had its moments, but I felt it went too far in trying to develop some kind of sophisticated scientific plot about manipulating evolution instead of just scaring the bejeebers out of us, as was the trademark of the first two.

Rated 2/5 Stars •  Rated 2 out of 5 stars 09/07/25 Full Review Blu B Worst one of the trilogy. The acting is just ok. Everyone is robotic, blends in, wooden, and I seriously couldn't care less about anyone really. The creature...they made him into like a Gillman Karloff type monster. It sort of is cool I guess but it's nowhere near as cool as the original design. It looks cool but also looks a little weird to me. Reminds a lot of Frankenstein. The music is just ok. The creature music theme is barely used in this and everything else is just super forgettable. The cinematography isn't that good and neither is the ediitng with terrible pacing for a barely 75 minute film. The first 40 minutes or so is just them trying to locate and chase down the creature again while looking at sonar pings and boring underwater scenes. The creature is maybe in the first half say 30 seconds if that. It's about the stupid romance and love triangle and revisiting the same plot line we've seen multiple times and done so much better. I'm not kidding when I say 6% of this film is romance and trying to develop the stock characters that makes it so boring. You literally could cut this down probably to 40-45 minutes and lose nothing. Than in the last 20-30 minutes it tries to do a Nature vs Nuture commentary but it comes out of nowhere, isn't done well, and your so bored by this point you really could care less. It's just an excuse to have the creature be able to attack on land and go on a rampage which isn't even that much. There's hardly any kills in this also which is suprising. I think 2 total. Than it just ends and it feels like the whole thing was dragged out, pointless, boring, and a waste of time. Skip This. There are way better movies that do the message/theme this is exploring way better and a very disappointing way to end the trilogy. Just stick to the first one. Rated 2.5/5 Stars •  Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 09/18/24 Full Review NiB Y The most underrated monster movie i've ever seen. The first 20 minutes are quite slow and boring to get through, with heavy use of recycled footage, but after that it delivers a very original take on the monster and the genre itself; with the Gill-Man transforming into a land animal, and showing to be much more sympathetic and just good in general than all except 2 of the human characters. The heavy themes of abusive relationships and mistreatment towards nature from humans are treated with respect and seriousness Rated 4.5/5 Stars •  Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 08/03/24 Full Review Andrew L This is the last of The Universal Studios Classic Monster Movie films ever to be made. Out of the three "Creature-Features." this isn't the best, but it is far better than the second film, even though the explores find The Creature faster than any of us could find a missing sock.
