gavin6942 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.

Tyypo Let's be clear here. Larry Buchanan is a terrible film maker. If I had known this was one of his movies when I picked it on my streaming Netflix account, I would not have watched it. It is ineptly bad, and it is not quite clear at any time whether the director knows this or not. It's hard to focus on just one element of badness. You have to laugh when you see the Mad Scientist throw dead bodies into the pool to be consumed by alligators. I mean, you can see that it is a clean, normal swimming pool in many shots, then the scene switches to what appears to be a muddy, shallow outdoor swamp where the actual gators are. Was I supposed to see that? Was it an oversight? They blew the budget acquiring that footage apparently, because the actual "swamp creature" effects at the big finale look like they cost about $25, and I'm being generous.I confess I liked one thing: the Mad Scientist's voice. It was so deliciously over-the-top, it went perfectly with his ridiculous lines. To listen to him interact with his lackeys, it would seem that they're all just one mistake away from being terminated from his employ - permanently. All the other characters were just boring, with John Agar's presence almost incidental.

Michael_Elliott Curse of the Swamp Creatures (1966) BOMB (out of 4) Incredibly bad film from the infamous director Larry Buchanan. One jackass goes into the Everglades to find oil when he encounters a jackass scientist mixing alligators and humans. The budget of this thing is so low that the director just used black people for his half human/half alligator creatures. When the title character finally shows up he looks pretty good but he doesn't get on the screen until the very last scene in the movie. Bad on all levels and only recommended to those who are wanting to take off five years of their life. The original film, Voodoo Woman, wasn't any good but compared to this it's a masterpiece.

bensonmum2 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.
