In a tributary of the Amazon, a monster – half-man, half-fish – is captured and placed in a reservoir in a Florida national park to be observed by scientists.

Description

Revenge of the Creature is an American black-and-white feature film, the first of two sequels of the movie The Creature from the Black Lagoon.

Plot

The survivor of the first movie, the Creature is caught and sent to the Ocean Harbor Aquarium in Florida. There, Professor Clete Ferguson, who is engaged in animal psychology, and a student of ichthyology, Helen Dobson, begin to study him. Helen and Clete begin to fall in love with each other, much to the chagrin of Joe Hayes, the hunter who caught the Creature. The monster likes Helen, which prevents Clete from studying him.

One day, the Creature escapes from its enclosure with water, kills Joe and heads into the open ocean. Unable to stop thinking about Helen, the Creature soon begins to follow her and Clit, and eventually kidnaps Helen from a seaside restaurant. Clete tries to chase the creature, but it rushes into the ocean with Helen in its paws. Later, Clete and the police still catch up with the Creature that has come ashore. Choosing the moment, the police shoot at the creature, and at this time Clete saves Helen from the clutches of the Creature.

Aquatic creatures

An aquatic creature is a humanoid monster that lives in a remote lagoon in the wilds of the Amazon. Scientists believe that it may be an evolutionary link between aquatic and terrestrial creatures. Being in an isolated, comfortable environment, its appearance has not been changed for hundreds of thousands of years.

The creature can live in both fresh and salty sea water, feeding mainly on fish and birds. Its body is covered with fish-like scales and has gills that allow it to breathe underwater. At the same time, the monster can be on land for only a few minutes. He has great strength (he is able to turn over a car) and the rudiments of reason that allow him to learn quickly and even memorize the words of the English language.

Unlike the first film, in which the creature withstood several harpoon strikes and gun shots, here it is afraid of bright light and is vulnerable to electrical discharges, and bullets fired from a pistol cause it significant damage and even, possibly, kill.
