Brilliant scientist turned into a green, mossey "swamp thing", lives in what looks like the Florida everglades. Based on a DC comic book, directed by a pre Freddy Kruger Wes Craven. There was a 1990's Swamp Thing TV series which was watched regularly by, of all the people in the household, my mother. I recall that show as being oddly somber, this is less so. Staring Ray Wise and Dick Durock as pre and post transformation Dr. Alec Holland respectively. Adrienne Barbeau, then the only true "scream queen" competition to Jaime Lee Curtis, is the love interest. While Louise Jordan is a better Bond villian here then he would be in Octapussy the next year. **1/2
