It's a 'what film is this' one!

[thiswaypleasethankyou]

Driving me bonkers. It's a recent-ish film, I've seen it in the last few years. The only thing I can remember is that there are some sequences from Creature from the Black Lagoon in it, possibly to illustrate some kind of threat or danger in the main storyline of the film, I think there was possibly narration over the top of the clips. It was maybe the favourite film of one of the main characters but I might be making that up.

Google is no help as it just keeps turning up CftBL!

IMDB says the last movie to reference CftBL was The Munsters it was shown on a projector.

I’ll Be Gone In The Dark?

It’s a series but it uses scenes from The Creature From The Black Lagoon.

I’ll Be Gone in the Dark posits that all these regrets and traumas were swimming beneath McNamara’s surface, much like the monster swims underwater, a few feet below a freestyle-stroking woman in the clip from Creature From the Black Lagoon that director Liz Garbus weaves more than once into the series.

@ShelfObsessed YES! Thank you! Not a film then. I absolutely loved IBGITD genuinely think it's one of the best things I've ever watched.

You’re welcome!

I haven’t seen it but I’ve read the book so I should really watch the series too.

You really should! The way the story is interwoven with Michelle's own story is superb. Very sad in places.

I've just realised why I'm thinking of it, I'm watching a documentary and the voice over style is really similar.

I definitely will then and soon.
