(Which just reviewed Curse of the Swamp Creature (no relation).) Probably because of Agar's presence, his monster flicks always entertain -- even the incredibly cheap ones. He brought class & conviction to everything he did.Stephen D.

Watching Revenge of the Creature in the last few years (for the first time since I was a kid) I was surprised at just what an weak film it is on the whole. When you're a kid, you're getting off on how much you get to see the Gillman, and that great escape sequence and the pushing over of the car...also where he throws the guy into the tree. Okay, I'll admit it, I love that stuff as an adult too. However, the costume is really inferior to that of the first film, and the climax is one of the most tension-and-suspense-less of the classic monster films. The Creature never really has a chance...he's facing a ton of guns, which do what guns do, with no problem. Pretty dull.Mr. Ghoulhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06594869546522034757noreply@blogger.com
