Justin W @RT37619642 Jul 10 Absolute classic campy horror. I watched this movie so many times as a kid. Wes Craven's treatment of the comic is excellent, especially given the time of it's release, it is a truly unique film. I love Adrienne Barbeau in it too, she is so sexy. The FX might be a bit silly looking, but it is a really fun movie and keeps the pace going so it never gets boring. World building is excellent considering the relatively low budget. One of my favorites from the era. See more Ry N @RyGuy Dec 12 Holland successfully combines plant and animal cellular properties. When evil scientists, Arcane, attacks the lab for his notes, Holland becomes Swamp Thing and looks to save Cable with the missing notebook. The story was alright, but Swamp Thing looks terrible.

I feel like Swamp Thing could have been a lot more scary. You almost couldn’t believe that Cable was scared of him. We won’t even discuss the futility of the last 15 minutes, and the terrible costume of Arcane. Worth a watch, but you’ll forget about it. See more Jens B @Jens97 Oct 26 It's quite brazen and unsympathetic how composer Harry Manfredini has been making only slight variations on the same score for decades, celebrating himself as a major horror film composer. Adrienne Barbeau, on the other hand, is as fun as ever, especially her hair! Ray Wise and David Hess round out the picture. Wes Craven had fun with the scene transitions. Verdict: A subpar eco-thriller that could easily air on SuperRTL on a Sunday afternoon and is only moderately entertaining.

See more Tyler S @tylerking24 Jul 22 That was a very peculiar movie. My expectations were pretty low, and I did not expect much. I'd say I was slightly wrong, but not by much I feel like the thing that really held this movie back from being great was that it was too short. They had a chance to develop the story and characters a bit, but it ended up feeling rushed. Swamp Thing the character was also what I expected. But for the 80s, he actually looked better than I thought. I actually enjoyed the character arc for him. Deep down, he seems like a guy who just wants to be normal. Overall, my opinion of this movie is perfectly down the middle, nothing great, but about the best they could do. See more Read all reviews
