⭐⭐⭐⭐ 91min Wes Craven’s adaptation of the DC superhero
Recap
Alec Holland works at a laboratory in the swamps and is bitten by a plant-based explosive that turns him into the Swamp Thing. He now must protect government agent Alice and gas station attendant Jude from Arcane, the villain who is after the the secret research results.
This one is shot as arather conventional action movie, filmed with moderate effort. Even though it’s about a swamp thing, there is no horror in it, the thing in fact is more of a (tragic) superhero, which makes sense since it’s property of DC. It is true that Wes Craven has made better movies with smaller budgets, but it’s untrue to say this campy little stinker is not a whole lot of fun to watch.
