Curse of the Swamp Creature (1966) (TV)

My Eyes, My Eyes!!!, 10 July 2005

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 (kidding!), 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.

1/10
