I saw it on a cross-Atlantic flight. It wasn’t the artsy film I was expecting, but a campy “fun” flick set about 50 years ago. The similarity to “Creature from the Black Lagoon” is so obvious that it looks intentional. The best aspects of the film are the sets and the overall “look”, which are awesome, and the “villain” who pretty much steals every scene. I’m surprised that it won best film, because it’s not great. But it refreshing to see that it is possible for a light campy flick to win.
