Swamp Freak

A quote from this movie you will find yourself saying repeatedly if you manage to make it through this absolute stinker,honestly,I have seen better movies made by 4th grade students than this complete and utter borefest and certainly better acting from them than these alleged actors,it's like someone took a project that absolutely nobody was interested in doing but were forced into doing then whacked it on a disc and decided to see how much they could scam an unsuspecting public out of ,fortunately I didn't pay to see it as absolutely everything about it is horrendous,if I could give it a zero that is exactly what it would get.

When I sat down to watch "Swamp Freak", it was without any knowledge about what it was about, who starred in it, or what to expect from it. I was interested in it solely because it was a horror movie and because of the title.

The title should have triggered a bell somewhere, because this was a blatant rip-off of the "Swamp Thing" creature, although to a less successful extend.

The movie starts out by spending way too long on following a guy walking around in the woodland area in the beginning of the movie. And that basically set the premise for the rest of the movie.

A serious amount of time is wasted on showing scenic views of the nature. While it is beautiful, it is not essential for the movie. This resulted in an incredibly slow paced and very uneventful movie, with no real solid storyline.

I will say that "Swamp Freak" does have some good atmospheric music, although a bit too loud in comparison to the rest of the sounds in the movie.

The creature is painstakingly obvious just a guy wearing a suit plastered with vegetation. And the sound that it made was just too much, it sounded like it should be the sound of some large predatory beast, not a two legged man-thing from the swamp.

All in all, "Swamp Freak" was not an impressive or memorable movie in any sense, and I managed to sit through a whopping 40 minutes of it before I gave up out of sheer and complete boredom.

"Swamp Freak" is not a movie that I have any intention of returning to finish, because there was just nothing worthwhile to hold my interest here. My rating of "Swamp Freak" is a mere 3 out of 10 stars.

1st of all I fell asleep during my 1st attempt to watch this film... It looked like a bunch of high school students stretched an idea over their childhood film "swampthing" - acting, story-line, direction, and mixing... everything is so basic... It just seems they shot an extra film during their trip as a bonus.

Comparable to the likes of Spielberg, the director of Swamp Freak utilizes grade A acting to forge a cinematic masterpiece. This is the singlehanded best movie I have ever seen. While some say it was bad to have the people on camera separately, I think it helps portray each ones acting ability. All in all this is the best movie I have ever seen!

Another masterpiece from the Bret Hart of cinematography. David DeCoteau is the best there is, was, and ever will be, and classics such as Swamp Freak just cement his position at the top even more. The long lingering nature shots where breathtaking and chilling. The subtle humor he incorporates into his writing is brilliant. "I'M KEEPING THE STICK" and "AAAARGH MY KNEE" from the great Wallace were so eloquently spoken it was as if He actually was keeping that stick. The Swamp Freak was truly terrifying in the way it could manipulate time and space to lull its victims into thinking they could out run his lumbering walking pace only to appear behind them and absolutely savage them with a right hook that would make Mike Tyson himself cream his panties. Another must watch. Well done Dave.
