A woman is sent from D.C. to see what a scientist is up to in the swamps of Louisiana and gets caught in the middle of a terrifying siege where a wealthy sociopath pops in to steal the formula the scientist is working on. In the process, the scientist is transformed into a monster and he teams up with the woman to get revenge on those who are after the formula.
Swamp Thing won't ever be known as one of Wes Craven's finest films. It sometimes feels a little more low budget than it probably was and some moments feel like they need more time to breathe and some feel like they've had too much room to breathe. The romance between Barbeau and Wise could have been better handled, because as is, it feels like it comes out of nowhere. They just met a few hours ago and they're already kissing? C'mon!
There's a decent sense of humor throughout the whole film that helps a lot and Louis Jordan and David Hess make a terrific bad guy pair.
