Deep in Florida's darkest everglades, a brilliant scientist, Dr. Alec Holland (Ray Wise), and a sexy government agent, Alice Cable (Adrienne Barneau), have developed a secret formula that could end world hunger and change civilisation forever. Little do they know, however, that their arch nemesis, Arcane (Louis Jourdan), is plotting to steal the serum for his own selfish schemes. Looting the lab and kidnaping Cable, Arcane douses Holland with the chemicals and leaves him for dead in the swamp. Mutated by his own formula, Holland becomes "Swamp Thing"-a half plant superhero who will stop at nothing to rescue the beautiful Cable and defeat the evil Arcane...even if it costs him his life!

Even though the American production Swamp Thing has a pretty straightforward narrative and feels like a B-movie featuring a popular comic book character, it really appealed to me. It is very simple and I liked that. Plus, there is one more trump card in the form of Adrienne Barbeau. I was compelled and glued to the screen and not only because she was naked. She has something about her that I thoroughly enjoyed watching and it is Barbeau who attracts viewers with her performance rather than the monster.
