A
meteor carrying an alien parasite crashes
in the swamp of Bayou. This invader
re-animates the corpses of people exposed
to it and they kill and eat many wildlife
their and then eat people nearby their
area.
The local county sheriff assumes that
there is a hungry alligator in the swamp
but suddenly they all encounter the
creatures that look like people as they
plan to devour the small community and
grow at an alarming rate.
Oh god how bad can
you get?! This movie was a complete joke
as well as a bore.
I dont know if this was Fred Olen
Ray's idea of making a tribute to
those old B&W sci fi horror flicks
but it doesn't work at all plus it's made
on a bad budget as well as badly edited.
This was made before movie's went
direct-to-video because there weren't
enough viewers liking it cause it's so
bad but this probably didn't play in
cinema's for very long.
I billed this one just as bad as Don't
Go In the Woods.
The cast couldn't
act their way out of a wet paper bag even
if they were tortured to. It's way too
corny and mellodramatic.
Buster Crabbe who was famous for his
Billy the Kid parts in films can't even
carry his weight with this one as a
dimwitted Sheriff and should be ashamed
of his work.
Dennis Underwood as his dipstick
deputy is just as lame brained.
Mike Bonavia seems to pull off okay
but really is nothing special but better
than the rest of the cast here.
A woman is topless and
fully breasted swimming in a pond at the
swamp.
A farmer is half
eaten
The farmers wife is stabbed by a pitch
fork
People are eaten alive showing body parts
and insides. Although it looks gross the
effects are bad.
The directing is
terrible but that's typical for a Fred
Olen Ray film and although this
marks to be one of his directorial debuts
after his other 1977 horror sci-fi flick The
Brain Leeches, it's nothing to
bed proud of.
The makes the dialogue's between the cast
members look humiliating especially with
supporting actor Norman Riggins
when he tells the sherrif department
about his wife being attacked and killed
which almost looks like it's a total
joke.
However, there are many interesting
camera shots on the cast playing the
living dead walking in the swampy forest
and attacking their victims but that's
about it.
The music by Franklin
Sledge and Gary Singer is
incredibly annoying with the synthesizer
playing and very unroriginal too.
