The premise
When scientists exploring the Amazon River stumble on a “missing link” connecting humans and fish, they plan to capture it for later study. But the Creature has plans of his own, and has set his sights on the lead scientist's beautiful fiancée, Kay.
Horror Vault's take
Deep in the uncharted waters of the Amazon, a scientific expedition makes a discovery that blurs the line between prehistoric past and terrifying present. What lurks beneath the dark surface of the Black Lagoon is unlike anything the natural world has ever catalogued — and it does not take kindly to intruders. As the team's ambitions push them deeper into danger, the expedition becomes a desperate struggle against a force of nature that is as mesmerizing as it is deadly.
