drystyx This is a B movie horror science fiction all the way, and makes no bones about it.There are only a few characters, and it looks low budget, although nothing is really "low budget", as the numbers for "low budget" is usually enough for a person to retire on for life.We have a deadly creature that seems deadly, then doesn't seem deadly. It's not very "congruent", and it's filled with plot holes.Still, the characters are pretty good, and rate as "credible characters in an incredible situation", which is the best science fiction.It doesn't do much more, but it is "watchable", and is best viewed as "elliptical entertainment" or "treadmill TV".

SnoopyStyle Jimmy Fuller (Nicolas Wright) asks Melanie Blaine (Cindy Sampson) to come home to check on her sick father Howard (Bruce Dern). But there's something worst than sickness going on, Jimmy tells her that her father is actually suspected of murdering a 17 year old girl.There is something in the woods. Only it's a horrible CG creation. It's horrible in the sense that it's unrealistic looking, and not scary. Part of it is the cheap CG. Part of it is the fact that it's all daylight shots. Everybody knows creepy creatures are scarier at night. The backstory and the mystery adds a little interest in the movie. If they had more money and better actors, they could have made a passable horror.

board-5 Awards:4 wins,but please don't disturb,or take the time for this bad creature feature type of film.It was far long for a little good it's contains.Memorable parts:0/all.Good and original ideas:0/all.Acting:4/10.Scenery:5/10.Dialogs-dialogs ? Sorry,well:3/10 but only if you watch the film ironically.Others say the script has lot of elements that was another movies own before this was made,and this is not a new thing,lot of other movies steals from somewhere else,or from another film.But despite some fun moments,this movie is just boring and could not entertain me.

debbiekirk24 When I saw that Sky 3 were showing a film called Swamp Devil, I decided to watch it for the light entertainment value as I didn't expect the plot to require much mental effort and I felt like winding down. I was therefore pleasantly surprised by the performances of all the main actors, especially the captivating Nicolas Wright who really made you want to know more about his character. It was therefore such a huge disappointment when he morphed into the swamp devil, I mean, you saw it coming a mile off, but the actual transformation was such a let-down and the creature itself raised more than just a titter. Fine if this was a trashy B movie, but the actors involved had already raised it way above that level with their sensitive performances. Clearly the director did not share their emotion and was happy with an animated monster than any self-respecting speed-skating Citroen C4 could put to shame, and a real-life version that had all the agility and grace of the Eddy Monster that comes on stage at the end of an Iron Maiden concert. I got the impression that the director looked at the final version of the film, thought 'Damn, those swamp devils don't really work, but it's too late to do anything about that now.' and put it out anyway. A disservice to a strong cast who did their utmost to make this film believable, which was a truly commendable achievement under the circumstances.
