Emerald Lagoon

About This Movie

Emerald Lagoon is a peculiar blend of adventure and horror that really leans into the isolated atmosphere of the Everglades. The film follows Dr. Connors and his assistant Libby, who just vanish, prompting her father to enlist Roland, a local fishing guide, to dig deeper. The pacing is a bit uneven at times, but that kind of adds to the unsettling vibe. The practical effects, especially in the creature design, have a certain raw charm that feels refreshing compared to CGI-heavy flicks. Performances are solid, with a nice touch of realism that keeps you grounded in the story. It's not groundbreaking, but it has its moments that make it stand out in the genre.
