A pre nightmare wes craven - By: , 17 May 2005
It's nonsense. Rather than working with the truly astonishing material from the comic written by Alan Moore (a period which first gave us John Constantine, now a big budget movie with Keanu Reeves) they went for an uncomplicated take on Swamp Thing's origin. In doing so, they lost alll the dark gothic horror of the early stories & poetry & spirituality of Moore's later work.
Replete with gratuitous topless scene from Adrienne Barbeau (bathing in the swamp, film nudity fans) this film has very little going for it other than as a curiosity as to how Wes Craven moved onto better things.
At least the sequel (a few years later, with Heather Locklear) played it for laughs.
