Let's be realistic.

Instead, you get a movie that's enjoyable enough, but leaves you feeling like it could have been much, much more.

Excellent and certainly provocative... If nothing else, the film is a real conversation starter.

There's a more than satisfactory amount of boom-boom in the movie's trim running time.

Deep in the rural swamps of Texas, Dr. Simond Trent (Jeff Alexander) is conducting experiments on the local swamp people in an attempt to discover the secret of evolution. When a party of oil surveyors comes upon his isolated laboratory he decides to take the final step and turn one of them into a grotesque amphibious creature.First of all, if you are watching this for the "swamp creature", you may be disappointed. It gets a very, very few minutes of screen time. But if you want to see the story of a scientist that thinks life evolves from a swamp, including people evolving from snakes rather than apes, then you might like this.The picture quality is a bit odd. Not good or bad, but hard to really define. At least we get science fiction legend John Agar.

The trouble with Curse of the Swamp Creature is that it is based on the presumption that you've seen it, and you're dumb enough to have wasted 80 minutes of your life to watch this junk.I did and I am! So many times you can pick up a small gem from the dollar store's DVD rack; I saw The Great St. Louis Bank Robbery once and wondered how I got so lucky. I have felt the same way with The House on Haunted Hill, How Awful about Allen, and Katherine. There are some good flicks out there that have been lost to the years or were just so low-budget that nobody cared about them then or don't know about them now.Curse of the Swamp Creature is not a gem but a wad of swamp sludge, rotting and stinking up your movie rack. My suggestion--if you already bought it--is to donate it to your public library.The librarian may just curse you!

What in the world did I just witness? There was no curse! There were no swamp creatures!! There was a lot of terrible acting and a very bad script! This is the worst movie I have ever seen. The entire time I waited for the swamp creature to appear. Well, when she finally did, she walked out of the house and jumped into the pool. WOW!!!!! You watch an eighty minute film to catch three minutes of monster footage. What a pathetic monster!!! The scariest thing in this movie is the acting. Everything about this movie was stupid!!!! It's one of those films were you want to laugh but it hurts when you try. I'm giving this a 1/10 but it doesn't deserve that. It's more like a negative ten!!!!!!!!!!!! Please don't watch!!!!!!!!!!!

In the years I've been visiting the IMDb website, I've rated a few movies a 1/10. But there are a handful of these that stand out as being the absolute worst of the worst. Included in this very select group are The Creeping Terror, The Hollywood Strangler Meets the Skid Row Slasher, Jason X, and the monstrosity known as Curse of the Swamp Creature. I defy any rational, sane human being to find a scrap of entertainment in this festering pile of poo. To say that the acting, special effects, plot, sets, direction, and dialogue are bad is an understatement. The film practically beats you over the head with its ineptitude.And can someone explain to me what John Agar was thinking? Sure, he made some cheesy sci-fi/horror movies, but none approach the hideous nature of Curse of the Swamp Creature. I can only assume that Agar was going through a period of chemical dependency at the time he agreed to appear in this thing. Fortunately, he recovered.
