Sci-Fi probably did all concerned a favor - though thanx to Internet resources like IMDB, it's none too difficult to identify the culprits. In the annals of horror moviedom, there've been plenty of weak movies built around monsters in a swamp setting (Alligator People, Legend of Boggy Creek, et al), but you'd have to look long and hard to find one as bad as Man-Thing. Even Wes Craven's Swamp Thing, the 1982 kid's flick version of DC's competitor swamp denizen, had enough sense of exploitational basics to spice its nonsense with shots of a topless Adrienne Barbeau. Would that Man-Thing had a comparable level of anything-to-goose-the-audience-awake crassness. . .
