The Creature Walks Among Us

1956 · 79 min

A somber, slow-burning monster movie that trades shocks for a quiet, tragic sense of displacement and unease.

Tagline: A city screams in terror!
Overview: Scientists surgically transform the Creature into an air-breather, but being able to live on land is not enough to make him comfortable with humans. Enraged, he turns his wrath on anyone who comes near as he desperately tries to return to the deep-water world where he truly belongs.
How it feels: Dark, melancholic, tense and earnest. Measured and needs your attention.
About: Identity, isolation, obsession, betrayal
Content: Mild violence. No gore, sexual content or swearing.
