Interesting facts
The Creature is a 1977 drama film, directed by Eloy de la Iglesia. The plot follows a respectable bourgeois housewife who chooses the love for her black German Shepherd over her relationship with her husband. La criatura is notable, like Walerian Borowczyk's La Bête (1975) and Nagisa Oshima's Max mon amour (1986), for openly involving zoophilia, then a novelty in Spanish Cinema.
