Finally, I get to my favorite Universal monster and monster pic from the past! This did it all for me. The best title, the best creature design & FX make-up (maybe ever), 3d (yes it was originally 3d), cool underwater filming, and a pretty good story! Not quite as atmospheric as Frankenstein, The Wolfman, or The Mummy, but not far behind. It's the monster and the originality that does it for me. This one didn't have a novel or a ton of legends to be created from and so stands as Universal's original monster. Just look at those claws and feet! The 2 sequels weren't as good, but this one is awesome. Great music too. Water is just scary anyway or I should say what might be under the water, hehe. If I could pick one movie to direct, write, and produce as a revamp of one of the classics, this is it! Hands (claws) down on that my fiends.
