I don't know where we are Toto, but it sure isn't Kansas.

Written and directed by Wes Craven, this movie based on a DC comics creature is a throwback to the creature features of the 50s.

Louis Jourdan (Gigi) is the evil doctor who steals the formula for growth developed to feed the world.

Adrienne Barbeau, who looks great in a wet t shirt as she runs through the swamp (and looking spectacular when it finally comes off), is amazingly agile with weapons and her hands in fighting off the evil doctors henchmen.

The good doctor becomes the swamp thing - possessing superhuman strength, and the ability to regenerate life and limbs. Of course, he is positively Rock Hudson compared to the evil doctor's transformation.

B-movie fun.
