(DVD, Lions Gate)
A new sheriff arrives at a backwater southern town. He is immediately confronted by a series of grisly murders which have been written off as alligator attacks by the former sheriff, now missing. His investigation leads to the local swamp where he finds the former sheriff's body. His major suspect is a mysterious character who lives in the swamp and seems to have supernatural powers. He hires some local thugs to find him, but they end up being killed by a monster known as man-thing. With the help of a local schoolteacher beauty, the sheriff goes into the swamp to find the monster once and for all. Early Marvel production before they struck gold with superheroes starts out ok, but quickly succumbs to formulaic, over-the-top violence.
