This creature is often described as a horrifying and monstrous being, preying on unsuspecting victims who venture into its domain. The curse is believed to have originated from a tragic event or a malevolent force that has tainted the swamp and its surroundings. It is said that anyone who encounters or disturbs the creature will fall under its curse, suffering various misfortunes and ultimately meeting a grim fate. The curse is often depicted as bringing forth a series of horrifying events, such as a sudden onset of illness, unexplained deaths, or strange occurrences within the vicinity of the swamp.
You'll recognize MANY Buchanan regulars in this as well. They're easy to spot from the other flicks. 3 stars because Buchanan really made his movies on the fly and they are a product of the times.
While Brenda tries to seduce the information she desires out of the oil man, her official boyfriend, Ritchie Mars Needs Women s Cal Duggan , sneaks into West s room, looking for maps, charts, or anything else that could help the conspirators divine just where in the marshes the oil is likely to be found. Thus we have now lined up the last three set-pieces from Voodoo Woman that have yet to be duplicated here Ritchie s attack on a native girl, which finally turns the voodoo villagers against Trent who, as Ritchie s host, would be expected to take some kind of responsibility for his guest s behavior ; the meeting between Pat and Rogers that provides the woman with an escape route when the shit hits the fan at last; and most importantly, the monsterization of Brenda Simmons, whom Trent subjects to his experimental treatment after Pat euthanizes Tom.
The curse is often depicted as bringing forth a series of horrifying events, such as a sudden onset of illness, unexplained deaths, or strange occurrences within the vicinity of the swamp. It is believed that the creature's curse extends its influence beyond the swamp itself, affecting the lives of those who dare to cross its path.

Subject: Near the middle of Buchanan's contract with AIP
Contrary to what many think, Larry Buchanan DID have the rights to do these color made for TV remakes. He signed a deal with AIP to make films tyhe studio owned the rights to. While Corman may have made the original films for In the Year 2889 and Zontar, AIP owned them and they wanted someone to at least make color updates for TV. Who better than the man who works with almost no budget Larry Buchanan.
This movie's got a little more star power than the others made by Buchanan. Instead of just John Agar, we get John Agar and Francine York who plays the mad scientist's wife.
The movie is slow going which wouldn't be such a problem if the plot were more interesting. Much of it looks to be shot on location which is impressive.
The usual issues found in Buchanan's films are here. Bad attempts at day for night being the most obvious. Other issues is fairly flat acting.

Subject: B Monster Flick - if you like them, watch this one
A nice diversion. Nothing believable here but the plot is different even if the script is weak and acting wooden for the most part. Nice location shots, one of the goofiest looking monsters ever, right up there with the Eye Creatures. Watch for the edge of the mask on the back of the neck of the actor at the climax. The third star is for originality in the plot.

This is another film by the great Larry Buchanan, who re-used a lot of his monster suits in a number of his films.
Still waiting for a copy of The Loch Ness Horror to surface somewhere now.

I remember uploading this about a year ago and found out recently it was taken for some reason. I've tried to find out why, but to this day the whys and wherefores are still a mystery. That being said, there have been not one but two people who've been kind enough to re-upload this film. I checked out both uploads and this file was the better quality. It's even better than the one I had up. A special thank you to Mystic for putting this up. Since it's better than my copy, I'll be adding this to my collection.

Overall, the Curse of the Swamp Creature is a fascinating legend that showcases the enduring power of folklore and its ability to capture the imagination.

Reviews for "The Dark Secrets of the Swamp: The Curse of the Monster Revealed"
1. John - 1 star:
"Curse of the swamp creature was an absolute disaster. The acting was horrendous, the plot was predictable, and the special effects were laughable. I couldn't believe how bad it was. The characters were one-dimensional and uninteresting, and I found myself counting down the minutes until the movie was over. Save your money and skip this one."
2. Sarah - 2 stars:
"I was really looking forward to watching Curse of the swamp creature, but unfortunately, it didn't live up to my expectations. The pacing was off, with long stretches of boredom followed by rushed and confusing scenes. The creature itself looked like a cheap Halloween costume, which was disappointing. The dialogue was cringe-worthy and the performances were lackluster. Overall, I was disappointed with this movie and wouldn't recommend it."
3. Alex - 1.5 stars:
"Curse of the swamp creature was a waste of time. The story lacked any coherence and the editing was abysmal. The movie had potential, but it failed to deliver on any level. The swamp creature looked fake and silly, and the attempts at suspense and horror fell flat. The script was filled with cliches and the characters were forgettable. I was left with a feeling of regret after watching this movie."
