Deep in Florida's darkest everglades, a brilliant scientist, Dr. Alec Holland (Ray Wise), and a sexy government agent, Alice Cable (Adrienne Barbeau), have developed a secret formula that could end world hunger and change civilization forever. Little do they know, however, that their arch nemesis, Arcane (Louis Jourdan), is plotting to steal the serum for his own selfish schemes. Looting the lab and kidnapping Cable, Arcane douses Holland with the chemicals and leaves him for dead in the swamp. Mutated by his own formula, Holland becomes Swamp Thing--a half plant superhero who will stop at nothing to rescue the beautiful Cable and defeat the evil Arcane... even if it costs him his life!
"Amusing little film from Wes Craven..." Ken Hanke, Mountain Xpress (Asheville, NC)
Editor's Note
In an attempt to relieve the world of hunger, a group of scientists develop a chemical which causes things to grow at a prodigious rate. When the substance is spilled on one of the researchers, he becomes a foliage covered monster and abruptly moves into the local swamp. Based on the DC comic book.

Swamp Thing had already won my heart before its moment of greatness, but when that moment came, I knew I'd discovered another one of those movies that fall somewhere between buried treasures and guilty pleasures. - Roger Ebert
