Before we got sick 2 weeks ago, I went out on a limb and bought the Marvel Comics character movie "MANTHING" on DVD. It came out in 2004, and I barely remember hearing about it in the theatre. Of course, neither of us saw it at that time. Man-Thing is a character that was once Ted Sallis, a chemical engineer killed and thrown into a swamp. He comes back to life as living vegetation, basically a "swamp monster." There's nothing human left of him. We thought it was well-paced, interesting, and it held our attention through the whole movie!! It's got to be good if A) we don't fall asleep during it B) We don't watch it in 2 sittings C) we turn it off.
Worth watching!
THE STORY: Agents of an oil tycoon vanish while exploring a swamp marked for drilling. The local sheriff investigates and faces a Seminole legend come to life: Man-Thing, a shambling swamp-monster whose touch burns those who feel fear. The swamp locations offer a creepy setting for the story, and it was well-produced. The swamps are full of swirling mists in a green glow STARRING: Matthew Le Nevez as Sheriff Kyle Williams (he's handsome, so it makes it easier to watch) and Rachael Taylor as Teri Elizabeth Richards.
