John Sherwood took over directing duties from Jack Arnold in this conclusion of the creature trilogy. Yet another expedition(played by actors Jeff Morrow, Rex Reason, Gregg Palmer, and Leigh Snowden) look for the Gill-Man in the Florida Everglades, where it is burnt in a gasoline fire. Once captured, it is operated on to turn it into an air-breathing human, with softened gill features, but still having its fierce instinct to survive. After being taken onshore to their home, it later escapes and causes more havoc after witnessing human aggression. Disappointing sequel has little action and far too much talk, with a dreary soap opera subplot about marital infidelity! Kids must have been bored silly at the time...Though a failure, it does have a thoughtful story in here someplace, with some interesting philosophical ideas and a memorable finale, concluding with a fitting final fade-out.
