Review of Swamp Thing (1982) by Paul B — 23 Aug 2010
Very campy and cheesy Wes Craven film from 1982 about, well, Swamp Thing. Iâ??d never seen this film before, and for some reason, I donâ??t think Iâ??ve ever seen what this versionâ??s Swamp Thing looked like, so I was surprised when he showed up that he wasnâ??t moist and drenching with seaweed and roots and green.
I guess I just expected him to be more intimidating, not looking like a guy in a rubber suit. For being a comic book film, this wasnâ??t a very fast paced action packed film (though they did include a ton of film wipes.
Anyway, for its campy value I can forgive its countless flaws. Certainly not the typical Wes Craven film.
