Description: Renowned horror director, Wes Craven (The Last House on The Left, The Hills Have Eyes, Nightmare on Elm’s Street, and Scream), produces yet another cult classic film based on a comic series. Although the dialogue and editing is a bit campier than I personally prefer, the plot follows Alice Cable, a replacement at a research facility in the bayous. As soon as she arrives, the leading scientist Dr. Alec Holland discovers the key to his research, a radioactive material that brings human-like life onto plants. Shortly after the discovery, an opposing fertilizer company (which includes David Hess) breaks into the facility, destroying everything and everyone. Rather than giving up his research, Holland becomes completely exposed to his new mystery chemical while Cable barely escapes. Holland’s body soon transforms into a creature of the swamp, with super-human strength and healing powers.
Unrated international version from the BANNED OOP DVD released in 2000. A Texas mom got pissed off because her kids saw some boobies (what about breast feeding?? Don’t kids get an up close and personal look that way?) so she started a shit storm that ended up getting this release recalled. Bitch. God forbid they should see some boobies but let them see all the violence that their little minds can handle. Even the new Shout Factory release is the PG version. So here it is with more picture and boobies.

A classic of swamp-horror. I was very impressed as a youngster. Today the busty Adrienne Barbeau is the good thing about this fantasy movie, where the villains are more ridiculous than menacing.
Good entertainment in and around the South Carolina swamp wilderness. With monsters.
