Creature from the Black Lagoonexists outside of Universal’s golden era of horror by nearly a decade. This is part of their second cycle, dominated by radioactive mutants and space-born menaces. Yet, there’s no question the Gillman belongs alongside Frankenstein’s monster, Dracula, and the Wolf Man; he’s just as iconic and for many of the same reaso...
Make no mistake: the 3D version remains the definitive way to watch Creature from the Black Lagoon, and luckily, Universal includes that version inside this box set. Ignoring that truth (and the dwindling number of 3DTVs still in use, sadly), the 4K edition is an appealing second choice. A mild smearing aside, this full 4K scan looks splendid in sh...

What Creature has instead is a bunch of alpha males swarming all over the desirable female, a boat stuck in a lagoon, and an iconic latex monster suit—and a both rote and turgid score.
