Kate Marsden, an investigative reporter, tracks her subject. She ends up following a man through the jungle who claimed a drowning victim. She falls into the river and nearly drowns when the Creature saves her.
This... is not a good start to be quite honest. The story spends too much time setting up Kate and her situation. A down on her luck reporter, trying to catch up with her subject, paying bribes and taking too much medication. It is something you've seen in a hundred movies and TV shows. We're here for the Creature. You know it. I know it. Let's just get on with it. The modern setting adds absolutely nothing here. I had hopes for something set in the sixties or maybe even the seventies or eighties. But a modern day reporter coming across the Creature just feels... wrong.
