The Creature Walks Among Us 1956

First act was still good, but then they had to take the gills out of the Gill Man. Ugh. Find my full review at https://www.otherworldlyculture.com/archives/5705

It's a bit up and down, but all in all 'The Creature Walks Among Us' is a film I'd consider as 'good'.

It, for me, definitively improves upon predecessor 'Revenge of the Creature', despite a few parts I didn't like as much as other bits. The stuff with the Gill-man is actually really good, especially towards the end. Despite that, the filmmakers seemed to prefer showing the humans - whose story didn't interest me on anything other than a base level. It needed more creature, in short.

Rex Reason is the only cast member I immediately remember, even minutes after watching. Leigh Snowden is serviceable, while Jeff Morrow at least plays his sorta character well enough - given I disliked him. Ricou Browning is the only main cast member to appear in all three times; as underwater Gill-man, of course.

The better sequel, though neither come all that close to the fab original.
