In this science fiction masterpiece of suspense and horror, a team of scientists traveling up the Amazon River discovered a dangerous creature that was half-man and half-fish. To make the dramatic effects even more terrifying, the film was shown in 3-D. Filmed in Wakulla Springs and Tarpon Springs, it was enormously successful, grossing more than $3 million, and was followed by two sequels.
