Swamp Woman (2023)

Updated: 3 days ago

My quick rating - 2.7/10. This flick feels like it's reaching for that grindhouse vibe but misses the mark in almost every way. The story revolves around Dr. Angela Honeydew ('Sushii' Xhyette Holder), who creates a serum that allows animals to genetically fuse with their surroundings—living or inanimate. It’s a bizarre premise, but one that could have been fun if handled with more skill. Instead, what we get is a chaotic mess that barely holds together. The film’s one moment of clarity comes with the appearance of Lloyd Kaufman, which makes it obvious why this movie ended up on my watchlist. Kaufman, as a TV reporter, is a familiar face in the world of low-budget schlock, and his brief cameo adds a touch of humor to the otherwise forgettable proceedings. If there’s anything that stands out, it’s the absurd and excessive nudity. There’s even an obligatory 3-minute lesbian shower scene that exists for no apparent reason other than to check the grindhouse exploitation box. Some of it is even... green? It’s silly, stupid, and occasionally amusing if you’re looking for mindless titillation. However, even that doesn’t save it from feeling like a barely polished high school film project. In terms of entertainment, it has moments of unintentional comedy and the occasional fun, but overall, it’s an amateurish attempt that flounders. If you’re in it for the camp, nudity, and a wild concept, you might find a few chuckles here. But for anyone else, there’s little reason to recommend this film.

I have no idea where this one came from and neither does Justwatch.
