Gills

Creature from the Black Lagoon (1954) - Arnold
Photobucket An archeologist down in Brazil finds a puzzling fossil- a quite intact arm of a creature equipped with webs inbtwn fingers. Can such a creature still be around? Band of scientists, including lovely Kay (Julie Adams) aboard the boat named Rita is dispatched to confirm the existence of such a creature.

Black Lagoon plays out like Jaws. The creature is tenacious, smart and deadly. It's a much more dangerous killing machine than a Great White because it can attack you both under and out of water. It's also infatuated with Kay.

I have a thing for the underwater photography and this one features plenty of beautiful underwater sequences. Pretty cool monster wet suit too.
