Yeah, I don't care if this is campy and there's a lot of poorly executed chase scenes. I don't care if the monsters look like dudes in painted scuba suits. I don't care if the motivations of the characters are poorly explained, if explained at all. Adrienne Barbeau kicks all kinds of bad guy butt in this and the kid that plays the teenage boy ("Jude") is the best thing about the movie.

Watched Unrated 4k version. Adrienne Barbeau nude in the swamp was a plus, but overall I was bored.

Well, it's not a masterpiece of cinematography, but the silicone costumes were pretty cool. ;)

From writer/director Wes Craven comes the bizarre and macabre superhero adventure _Swamp Thing_. Adapted from the DC comic series, the story follows a scientist named Dr. Alec Holland who’s transformed into a plant creature and attempts to stop the formula that caused his accident from falling into the hands of a nefarious businessman. Starring Louis Jourdan, Adrienne Barbeau, and Ray Wise, the cast isn’t too bad; though Barbeau is dead weight and has no chemistry with her co-stars. However, the real problem is with the script, which is hard to follow and doesn’t make a lot of sense. Also, the creature costumes (other than Swamp Thing) are incredibly cheesy. A poorly made film, _Swamp Thing_ is a dull and boring trek through the bayou.

Meh. I found Swamp Thing to be rather bleak. Just really some lady falls in love with a scientist turned swamp monster. They just kind of kiss and then “hey, look we are in love” and then he turns into a dreadfully awful looking ideration of the Swamp Thing and she’s scared of it until she fig More

This movie was so awful, I loved it!

I saw this film in the theater when I was in high school and couldn't get enough of the cheesy horror flick, sci-fi, and all that was in-between, and "Swamp Thing" was just the right kind of movie I needed to see at the right time to enjoy it as I did. **Adrie More
