My Review-
Out of the few Universal horror films that I have watched, this is one of the best ones, it works a lot on suspense and the music that goes wonderfully behind it when the creature shows up. There were a lot of scenes for me that stood out more than others that I liked watching, and the charactes were likeable as well. I would like to know who played the "Creature" because they did an awesome job at the movement of the creature and they way that it acted. Like all movies which at times I find annoying there is always some one who wants to capture the monster, alien, or what ever it is that cannot be explained for their own personal gain, and so is the same with this movie, which at tiems screws it up for the characters at times. After watching this movie I can see where some movies got similarites or ideas for other films, playing homage to this movie which is a damn good movie from Universal Studios horror flicks that they became known for. It sucks that most of the horror movies of this time were really short, this one being only 1hr and 19mins, I had wanted to be a little longer so we could see more of the creature, but I can understnad that keeping it a mystery at times built up the suspense of when it would be revealed and the music that went with it is really cool and at times eerie. As for underwated horror films or ones dealing with water next to "Jaws" this is one of the best ones that I have seen. If you like horror movies and want tos ee some old ones than check out this one it is well worth watching and in my opinion for the time atht thsi came out it really good.
