Cast: John Agar, Lori Nelson
This week we're reviewing the sequel to CREATURE FROM THE BLACK LAGOON.
PLOT: The sequel finds Lucas, the crusty boat captain from the first CREATURE, journeying to the Amazon with two new men. He tells them the story of the Gill Man. Nervous, the men dive for and capture the beast and transfer him to the Oceanarium in Florida. Clete Ferguson (John Agar) a psychologist there, is sent with Joe Hayes, the Gill Man's keeper, to look after the creature.
The creature is put into a dolphin show and Clete goes out with Helen Dobson (Lori Nelson), an ichthyology student. They dive to observe the creature. The creature takes an immediate like to Helen and the revenge begins. The creature ends up escaping, causing a nationwide panic.
Clete and Helen go to a party in Jacksonville where the creature unexpectedly lurks. They narrowly escape the creature's grasp after making out. The creature invades the party, causing terror. A manhunt is called and everyone is to go indoors. Helen's body is found by two college students who are attacked by the creature, who subsequently carries the limp Helen away.
The police captain calls out a massive search for the creature. They catch the fiend who finally releases Helen. The End.
REVIEW: Hey look, another campy 50s sci-fi sequel that was just as campy as the first, although I liked the first CREATURE better. Of course, it was hard to pay attention with the Mystery Science Theatre 3000 crew making wisecracks the entire time. 3 out of 5 stars.
