When the botanical experiments of Dr. Alec Holland (Ray Wise) go awry and a lab explosion renders him more plant than man, rival scientist Anton Arcane (Louis Jourdan) takes note. His plan? Capture Swamp Thing and learn his secrets -- but Arcane must first get by busty government operative Alice Cable (Adrienne Barbeau). Horror-meister Wes Craven takes a sabbatical from decapitations and gore with this campy adaptation of the DC Comics favorite.

Pros and Cons of Films: Vol. 1 (121 movies items)

"Pros: It’s a fun movie, to watch. Dirk Durock as Swamp Thing. The effects work for the Swamp Thing, as dated as it is still pretty decent. It’s better movie, than it has right to be. Louis Jourdan, as Dr, Arcane Adrienne Barbeau Con: While not one of Wes Craven’s Best films it’s still pretty good."
