Cinema Dissection: Creature from the Black Lagoon
March 23, 2024
By the 1950s, Universal Studios’ slate of classic Gothic monsters had faded from cinemas across the world. New sci-fi threats born of Atomic Age anxieties invade the silver screen, including giant radioactive mutations, legions of extraterrestrial invaders, and in particular one evolutionary missing link living deep in the jungles of South America. Upon its release, Creature from the Black Lagoon was an instant sensation, introducing the studio’s last iconic monster, in 3-D no less.
Join facilitator and SIFF Programmer Dan Doody as he takes you on a scene-by-scene excursion into uncharted reaches of the upper Amazon, diving beneath its surface in search of the elusive gill man.
This Cinema Dissection is in conjunction with our screenings of Creature from the Black Lagoon and our March Monster Madness series.
