***SPOILERS*** Filmed in the muddy alligator infested swamps of Uncertain Texas the film has to do with an oil drilling crew header by handsome geologist Barry Rogers, John Agar, that leads to disaster. Not in not finding oil but running into the crazed and obsessive Dr. Simond Trent played by Jeff Alexander who looks like a combination of Gonzo journalist Hunter Tompson and psycho and murderous evangelist Jim Jones. It turns out that Dr. Trent is trying to reverse the evolutionary process by turning man, or in some cases women, back to his primeval state of fishes & amphibians. Things soon get so out of hand that the local natives in the area that Dr. Trent experiments with revolt against him but in the end it's his pet alligators, that he keeps in his swimming pool, that eventually does him in.Even though what seems like a very reluctant John Agar, in having anything to do with this mess, is the star he spends most of his time on screen sleeping as if he's trying to distance himself from this turkey of a movie. It's Jeff Alexander as the crazed Dr. Trent who really runs the show as well as runs everyone in the movie nuts with his plans to turns them into fish and lizards that in the end, to everyones relief, backfires on him. It's when he finally succeeds in his experiments when he turns the organizer of this crazy expedition Bernda Simmions, Shirley McLain, into a fish-woman she in seeing what Dr. Trent did to her turns against him.There's also Dr. Trent's not so loyal assistant who never liked the guy in the first place Valjean, Ted Mitchell,who starts up a revolt by the local and voodoo worshiping population that really leads to nowhere.In that their so spaced out and on drugs that they can barley stand on their feet. It's Brenda the fish-women who finally puts an end to Dr. Trent's insanity by dumping him into his alligator infested swimming pool with them having him for lunch with Brenda, after seeing how she looked in the mirror, jumping in to join him!

1966's "Curse of the Swamp Creature" was John Agar's second of three titles for notorious Texas filmmaker Larry Buchanan, and a comedown even after "Zontar the Thing from Venus" (1968's "Hell Raiders" was the last, a WW2 feature!). He proved to be a very active scientist running and bicycling around in "Zontar," while here he gets to relax and do a great deal of smoking, as do most of the other characters (surely an easy paycheck that any actor wouldn't mind!). Not a prolific genre actress (apart from 1965's "Space Monster"), the lovely Francine York does what she can as the imprisoned spouse of crazed scientist Jeff Alexander, also from "Zontar," who easily dominates the film in an over-the-top performance that simply no actor could have avoided (granted, there was no competition). Were it not for Alexander, conducting evolution experiments to turn mammals into reptiles, things would have been even worse than they already are, chewing the scenery in similar fashion as the wicked janitor in 1973's "Horror High" (aka "Twisted Brain"). One very busy actor is Buchanan regular Bill Thurman, doing double duty as the murdered oil man and as the so-called Swamp Creature; it's difficult to accept the scrawny Cal Duggan getting the upper hand over the burly, imposing Thurman, who incredibly, has even less to do as the "fish man" (the doctor's description). The same green mask with ping pong ball eyes would later pop up in both 1967's "Creature of Destruction" (played by Byron Lord) and 1969's "It's Alive!" (played by Thurman again). Say what you want about director Larry Buchanan, his 8 Azalea films (five of which were remade from old AIP scripts he received to shoot in color) have a distinctive look that defines them, using a stock company of local performers and the same recycled Ronald Stein music cues. One is hard pressed to defend them on any level, but they are certainly unique; just try to explain that to someone too young to have seen them on late night broadcasts such as Pittsburgh's Chiller Theater, which aired the film four times from 1968-72. While not officially a remake of an earlier AIP 50s title, the 'original' Tony Houston screenplay is an almost exact replica of the 1956 Alex Gordon production "Voodoo Woman," which also featured a mad scientist (Tom Conway rather than Jeff Alexander), his imprisoned wife (Mary Ellen Kaye rather than Francine York), and a party searching for wealth in the jungle, led by a scheming seductress (Marla English rather than Shirley McLine) and a no nonsense guide (Mike Connors rather than John Agar). Quite a wonderful lady, the still breathtaking Francine was recently seen in fine form in a May 2012 episode of HOT IN CLEVELAND.

Curse of the Swamp Creatures (1966) BOMB (out of 4) Incredibly bad film from the infamous director Larry Buchanan. One jackass goes into the Everglades to find oil when he encounters a jackass scientist mixing alligators and humans. The budget of this thing is so low that the director just used black people for his half human/half alligator creatures. When the title character finally shows up he looks pretty good but he doesn't get on the screen until the very last scene in the movie. Bad on all levels and only recommended to those who are wanting to take off five years of their life. The original film, Voodoo Woman, wasn't any good but compared to this it's a masterpiece.

In the years I've been visiting the IMDb website, I've rated a few movies a 1/10. But there are a handful of these that stand out as being the absolute worst of the worst. Included in this very select group are The Creeping Terror, The Hollywood Strangler Meets the Skid Row Slasher, Jason X, and the monstrosity known as Curse of the Swamp Creature. I defy any rational, sane human being to find a scrap of entertainment in this festering pile of poo. To say that the acting, special effects, plot, sets, direction, and dialogue are bad is an understatement. The film practically beats you over the head with its ineptitude.And can someone explain to me what John Agar was thinking? Sure, he made some cheesy sci-fi/horror movies, but none approach the hideous nature of Curse of the Swamp Creature. I can only assume that Agar was going through a period of chemical dependency at the time he agreed to appear in this thing. Fortunately, he recovered.
