The monster, which looks like a nastier version of "The Creature from the Black Lagoon," invades a sleepy lighthouse town. The superstitious lighthouse keeper is worried for the safety of his beautiful teenage daughter, so he leaves food for the monster, who dwells in a nearby cave.
As stated, this was clearly inspired at least in part by the Creature. And, as I understand it, there was some overlap in the makeup and costume department, so that is not altogether shocking. But the interesting part is that this "knock off" is at least as good.
In fact, the entire film is just as good. Though not a celebrated classic, it is no worse than any other film of its era that is now considered a cult film. This really needs a new audience. Olive Films has released it, but only in a bare bones fashion... where is the love?
