THE REVENGE OF THE CREATURE (1955) 3/5.
Also known as RETURN OF THE CREATURE and RETURN OF THE CREATURE FROM THE BLACK LAGOON, it is the first sequel to CREATURE FROM THE BLACK LAGOON. The screenplay was written by Martin Berkeley, based upon a story by William Alland. It was produced by William Alland and directed by Jack Arnold.
The plot involves the Gill-man - having previously survived being riddled with bullets - being captured and sent to the Ocean Harbor Oceanarium in Florida, where he is studied by animal psychologist Professor Clete Ferguson and ichthyology student Helen Dobson.
The film stars John Agar, Lori Nelson, John Bromfield, Nestor Paiva, Ricou Browning, Tom Hennesy and Clint Eastwood in his film debut as Lab Technician Jennings. It is surprisingly good for a black-and-white B film and for me at least, the Gill-man never comes across as anything other than a victim - even when he is on the rampage…
