Le monstre des marais

A young woman (Cindy Sampson) finds out some disturbing supernatural truths about her father (Bruce Dern), who has been a suspect to multiple murder cases.

This film really had nothing going for it. The story was rather boring, and the effects on the "swamp devil" were not very good. I understand it is low budget, but if you cannot make a decent looking creature, please do not have him running around in plain sight for us to make fun of him.

And, sadly, the twist was predictable early on, with the second twist being just as predictable. Whoever wrote this either did not understand how to be subtle, or the director just did not understand how to craft a story.

This is a B movie horror science fiction all the way, and makes no bones about it.

There are only a few characters, and it looks low budget, although nothing is really "low budget", as the numbers for "low budget" is usually enough for a person to retire on for life.

We have a deadly creature that seems deadly, then doesn't seem deadly. It's not very "congruent", and it's filled with plot holes.

Still, the characters are pretty good, and rate as "credible characters in an incredible situation", which is the best science fiction.

It doesn't do much more, but it is "watchable", and is best viewed as "elliptical entertainment" or "treadmill TV".

I bought this years ago, and enjoyed it far more than I thought I would! The only down side was the dvd had horrible sound distortions every other minute in the first 15 min or so. I picked up a three pack of films tonight that happened to include Swamp Devil, popped it in and it the distortions were gone! Glad someone fixed the error! So if you buy a new copy, you should be good to go!

Awards:4 wins,but please don't disturb,or take the time for this bad creature feature type of film.

It was far long for a little good it's contains.Memorable parts:0/all.Good and original ideas:0/all.Acting:4/10.Scenery:5/10.Dialogs-dialogs ? Sorry,well:3/10 but only if you watch the film ironically.Others say the script has lot of elements that was another movies own before this was made,and this is not a new thing,lot of other movies steals from somewhere else,or from another film.But despite some fun moments,this movie is just boring and could not entertain me.

This is just Swamp Thing but the focus characters aren't the interesting part of the story.

Imagine a Swamp Thing story focusing on a killer.

Great, now make the point of view character... not Swamp Thing.

Now throw in some murders. Make sure they're pretty much entirely off camera or framed in such a way that we don't have to do much full-body cgi, because it's clearly the entirety of the budget.

I know Swamp Thing is no stranger to murder, but he always at least had a mind (well, not really, he was a bunch of plants inhabited by the green who took the imprint of the thoughts of a dead scientist, thinking they were the scientist) but here it's just the same as your standard "Sharktopus" or "Mega Python".

Watchable but I just can't get over the clear fact that this is just "what if Swamp Thing was mad and not very interesting"
