They get more than they bargained for when they discover a living prehistoric creature - a half-man, half amphibious reptile - that doesn't take kindly to their attempts to capture him.

Review:

One of the original classic creature features. Cinematography and effects were great for its time. The creature makeup was innovative for its era. Must see creature feature.
