Zaat - Don Barton - USA - (1975)
Plot from Imdb: "A mad scientist transforms himself into an aquatic killer"
Apparentely also known as "The Blood Waters of Dr. Z," "Attack of the Swamp Creatures" and "Legend of the Zaat Monster.", this is a campy, cheap, bad 70's monster B-Movie...A cult classic for some. Just a bad movie for the rest. I found it myself rather entertaining. The fact that the crazy scientist transforms himself is rather funny, but that he transforms himself into a giant catfish is just hilarious ! Look at the monster face, it really is coming from another dimension. Basically, the movie is a remake of "Creature of the black lagoon" without the poetry of the original. The rest is identical: bad monster suit, under water sequences, women in bikinis and heroes that are, of course, the worst actors of the lot. There is a lot of involuntary funny scenes in that movie, so it's the perfect kind to watch with a six pack and some friends around. Enjoy you plastic lovers ! PS: I've read that there is a scene where the monster wears tennis shoes...yes, tennis shoes !! But I haven't found it, please help !
