In this horror adventure, a group of researchers deep in the Amazon encounter a half man-half fish, a prehistoric frogman of a species that went unnoticed by humans for millennia and lives in a black lake. The missing link hopes to dispel his loneliness with Kay, the sole woman. In the meantime, two rival males on the expedition want to either capture the creature for research or kill it as a trophy.

Why in Eye
During the Cold War, the creature probably represented the fear of the ‘other’, an invasive creature you cannot comprehend. Nowadays, it can be re-read as a creature prepared for a possible new future involving rising water levels and in which humans would do well to develop webbed appendages.
