The iconic creature feature from the Universal Monsterverse returns! Half-man, half-fish, a strange prehistoric beast lurks in the legendary depths of the Amazonian jungle. A group of scientists try to capture the gill-man and bring it back to civilization for study with disastrous results. From director Jack Arnold, an early pioneer of the art of playing on the fear of the unknown, this classic shocker heavily inspired Steven Spielberg when he directed Jaws (1975). Brooding, menacing and atmospherically stylish, the stunning underwater photography and Ricou Browning’s sympathetic portrayal of the creature puts it in the horror hall of fame.
