Every sci-fi lover should track down a copy of this movie, a loving tribute to the Roger Corman-era of film-making. Just as we all held our breath for the first glimpse of The Creature as he poked his gilled head out of the Black Lagoon, the Bat Monster himself is worth the price of admission. Very clever writing with rich character development ... with a Scream Queen to rival the greats! I'm only sorry I didn't see it at a drive-in. Find this film.
