I like a decent amount of Wes cravens work however this isn’t really one of them. Wes didn’t seem to understand the character and barely kept swamp things feeling of love and how he has to accept his new life however Wes makes him more into a worse version Frankenstein who just screams and acts stupidly. The design of swamp thing is great however that’s really the only positive as the rest of the movie is basic and nothing new.
