The Creature goes out with a whimper..., 27 August 2006
4/10
Author: moonspinner55 from redlands, ca

Tame, tacky third entry in the popular "Creature" trilogy has the Gill-Man getting captured by a team of doctors who perform plastic surgery on this monster from the depths in a misbegotten attempt to humanize him. One aspect of the "Creature" features that has always been successful was the underwater photography (low-budget, black-and-white, but eerie and somehow shimmering), and the cinematography here by Maury Gertsman doesn't disappoint either. Unfortunately, the acting is stilted, the pacing and direction are low-energy, and the special effects are awfully cheesy, as if nobody involved had much interest in making this thing work. The silly, inept screenplay is the main culprit, with poor plotting and dreary dialogue. It's always nice to see the Gill-Man in action, but this vehicle for him is rather low on thrills. *1/2 from ****
