7/10
Cheap, yet effective with atmosphere and the sounds worked for it's time!

Being a "Bigfoot" fan and watching and liking 70's cult films this 1976 simple and sweet made flick "Creature from Black Lake" was a fun little treat to watch. Set in the rural country backwoods swamps of Louisiana where strange sightings have occurred of a big hairy beast which has made the locals quite. Now enter two city slicker Chicago college students and they journey and adventure to explore and hunt for the strange creature! The film was made low budget as you can see the shots are cheap. Still the images are effective as the scenes of attacks are violent chases! Plus the audio and sound recordings are haunting! The feel and atmosphere is spooky with wooded forests and the creature is scary looking and the film moves along just right. Overall for a mid 70's camp like film it worked just fine.
