    My view of the Film

    Looked great Sam. Looked just like a first look and the production value was great. Very informative and now I want to stay up till 3 am to watch it some night. Maybe I ll just go down to the local video store and rent it. I can't wait to see the next thing you do. Hopefully you remember me to cast me. J/k With Hollywood in the midst of a bunch of redo's or do over. I bet it won't be long till we see the creature back up on the main screen. I think your first look will be enough to prompt so action from the suits in Hollywood. I would definitely buy a ticket to go see it. If you guys don't already know it Sam is the new up and comer. I can't wait to see whats next.

    Great job

    Love the Gill-Man Fanatics

    You know how one thinks they have an understanding on subcultures that exist all around us and then you are introduced to a specific subculture and all of the sudden you are like "Holy crap, this stuff is totally crazy"? That is what happened to me when I watched "Creature Feature" at the Tribeca Screening Room on Dec 16th. The total chaos that I witnessed in this movie on the fans of the Gill-Man, from the fanatics at the conventions to the known stars as Benicio Del Toro and Dan Roebuck, was entertainment at its finest. I do not want to sound harsh and call people "freaks" but I am! I loved those Gil-Man freaks and this documentary did a great job on showing the true love of the Creature.

    Don't Fear the Creature!

    While in LA recently, I had the opportunity through a colleague to catch an early screening of this doc at the Sunset Theater. As a fan of all the old creature films, I jumped at the chance.

    The impression I got after screening this doc was that the flick was made by folks who have an honest appreciation – even love – for the Creature and his enduring legacy. As a result, they handled the subject matter with tremendous respect and kept it from turning into a campy spoof. (Though when talking about the creature features of the 1950s, a little camp is never a bad thing)

    In particular, I was impressed with the level of access the filmmakers had to the original cast and crew, as well as footage, exclusive and rare stills, and other background materials. They used all of the above to do a great job nailing down the story behind the making of the original Creature film. A big plus there. For me, the back-story on the design work that went into the Creature itself was interesting, especially when considering how this film literally raised the bar in terms of how Hollywood monsters were conceptualized and designed.

    And current-day interviews with surviving cast members – including the Gill-man himself (Ben Chapman) and heroine Kay (Julie Adams), gave the film a resonance and sincerity that would have been sorely lacking had they not been there.

    As someone interested in screen writing, I also especially enjoyed the in-depth interviews with screenwriter Arthur Ross (father of Gary Ross, for anyone keeping score), both about the making of the Creature script as well as his experiences with blacklisting in Hollywood. Some great stuff there that all Hollywood history aficionados should see.

    In particular I also enjoyed hearing about Ross' rationale that the Creature should not be a traditional horror figure in terms of being inherently evil or dangerous, but should be more of a conflicted, more "human" character who only harms others once he's pushed to the edge.

    In addition to the back-story of the actual production, the filmmakers did a good job documenting the sheer hysteria that surrounded the release of the first film and subsequent sequels (Revenge of the Creature). Seeing old footage of the nursing stations that were set up at screenings to treat any of the 'scared sick' filmgoers reminded me just how much of an impact the Creature had on the horror film industry. (Let's see you Freddie Krueger do that!)

    Then the doc went beyond the actual films to show the enduring legacy of the Gill-man, taking us to a variety of modern-day sci-fi and horror conventions to meet to real people who still love the creature and consider him one of cinema's great characters. The doc could have easily gone overboard at that point to become a bad SNL skit (anyone remember William Shatner's scathing Trekkie convention skit?), but to the filmmaker's credit, they kept it from crossing the line and becoming a farce. Again, they accomplished this by treating the fans and subject matter with the respect that can only come from a true fan.

    I was happily surprised to see they also reached out to a variety of current filmmakers, historians, and even some celebrities (Benicio Del Turo and Daniel Roebuck are two in particular that I remember) and got them to discuss how the Gill-man impressed and affected them while growing up. Seeing Roebuck sitting in a room in his home that's filled from floor to ceiling with horror and sci-fi memorabilia – much of it Gill-man related – goes a long way at proving that point. A nice touch there.

    But I think the biggest coup for the filmmakers came in nailing down veteran actor Keith David as the narrator. David (Platoon, Something about Mary, Pitch Black) has such a distinctive, recognizable voice that it really added weight to the film – at least for me.

    But alas, reviews can't be all good: I'd say the biggest criticism I have for the filmmakers is that they let a few of the interviews run longer than necessary. Nothing major, but just a few instances where I felt they could have chopped a few lines here and there to make the doc flow a bit quicker.

    I can't remember who said it exactly, but one of the best lines in the doc was that if the Frankenstein, Dracula, Wolfman trifecta could be considered the Rat Pack of creature characters, then Gill-man is the Elvis. I thought that was brilliant and really nailed down the creature's enduring appeal. As does this documentary.

    What a great documentary!

    I saw this on Dec. 16 in Tribeca and it was great. I thought this film was a great look at the history and fandom of the Creature of the Black Lagoon. It was edited very well. The production quality and sound was great not to mention the other cool stuff like old photos. The interviews were great. Some of the fans shocked me like Benicio Del toro. He is a great actor! It was filled with fun stuff like conventions and collector's, although some of the interviews ran a little long it was a really interesting look at the 50 Years of the creature. A classic monster from universal. I think it ran about 86 min. Which was a good length I thought.

    Very informative, even for the movie fanatics

    Saw this recently and was very impressed, especially with the written narrative that seemed to move the story along nicely. Not to mention the fact that the narrative was delivered by none other than Keith "THEY LIVE" David, who is just as impressive a narrator as he is an actor.

    As a fan of horror/sci-fi, I certainly knew some of the backstory of the Creature From the Black Lagoon, but I learned a whole lot more in this very informative documentary that had a really fast pace, and interesting subject material.

    There were also nice turns by Academy-Award winner Benicio Del Toro and Arthur Ross, the original writer of the first and third films in the Creature trilogy. Don't want to give too much away, but I will say that this film will capture your interest, even if only a casual movie buff, while also serving as informative for the movie fanatics. And, that's well worth the price of admission!
