The happenings of the Gill Man, and how he comes to walk among us, are there more to flesh out the story of a toxic marriage than to serve as the main narrative thrust. Go to Full Review

A terrible horror flick that I liked anyway. Scientists speed up evolution to turn the gill monster human. The manfish is almost likable. Ultimately, the film is not. Go to Full Review

Johnathon W @Hoppynsc 6d Intriguing conclusion to the series that fails in execution but does explore some interesting ideas. Once again, the cast is solid but not outstanding and while the filmmakers present an interesting idea oft the Creature becoming a land dweller, it is poorly put together. It doesn't help the Creature barely appears in the film and the updated make-up doesn't work (he is mostly in a suit with a facial mask). However, the ideas are interesting and gives a tragic end to this classic monster. Not perfect, but a solid viewing as part of a binge.

See more Michael C @Michael71 Sep 8 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. See more Ted B @Movieaddicted Sep 7 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.
