Wes Craven was one of our true horror masters. From his earliest works like "The Hills Have Eyes" to reinvest the weak genre in the 1990s with his meta -classic "scream", he was irreplaceable in his craft. But long before Craven gave us all the timer with "ELM Nightmare", He joined the DC universe for a comic -based creature in the form of a "something swamp". If it used iosubopity, the good news is that the film is currently airing for free.

Streaming free now on Pipes1982's "The Boy" is one of the previous Chinese attempts to adapt to DC Comics. Happens only three years after Christopher Reove helped to make "Superman: the movie" surprised hit of the cutThis was definitely a different download of the source material from the comics. Craven, to that point, directed a great deal of gruesome and controversial horror images, including his debut on the "Last House" features. He was supposed to bring at least some of that sensibility of the character created by writer Len Wein and artist Bernie Rightson in 1971.

The film focuses on the scientist, Dr -Alec Holland (Ray Wizz) and government agent Alice Cable (Adrien Barbe) who developed a secret formula that could end world hunger. Their nail polish, Arkan (Louis Ourdan), serum stealing plots. After the robbery of their lab, Arkan Dusi Netherlands with chemicals and leaves it dead in the swamp. He is then mutated by becoming a semi-human/semi-plant superhero who must save the cable from Arkan's joints.

It was a modest budget affair, cost only $ 2.5 million. It was also a modest success in cinemas at the time, with box office numbers not officially available. But later it became a hit of home video during the height of the VHS era, Back when video shops ruled the world.

This film appeared at an interesting time. In 2025, comics films are still great business activities, with "Thunderbolts", "Superman" and "The Fantastic Four: First Steps" all released this year. But in 1982, "Superman: The film" was largely considered the only hit that caused a single franchise. That success would not be imitated again to Tim Batton's "Batman" became a hit in 1989. Marvel would have had a mainstream success in the 1998 box office with Blade.

Hollywood does not understand superheroes or comics especially at this time. So, a guy like Craven could take that material and try to do something with it, assuming he can do so in certain budget constraints. In an interview for 2013 with Daily deadThe co-creator of the characters and the comic legend Lan Wein explained that he was not consulted for the film at all. He visited the set, but set up as the studio watching people like himself in those days:

"I spent a few days looking at them and that was essentially that. These were the days before the people they loved were the creators. In those days, most movie people always felt that the creators of the material would be too tied to the original concept to enable them to make the changes they needed to work."

For what is worth, the "swamp" is reasonably considered, holding 62% on rotten tomatoes. It also received a sequel, "Returning to Wetlands", in 1989, directed by Jimim Vinorski. The character -based TV series also aired in 1990 on the US network, which lasts three seasons, with SEC Durk to repeat his role as a monster title.

Recently, a Live TV show "Wetland" was canceled after one season in 2019After it was created for the Universe in DC. As for the future, the Jameses Magold ("Logan") is set to direct the character -based film for the new DC Universe in Bors Warner, but there are no details of the time frame for publishing this writing.

You can also grab the "swamp" from 1982 on Blu-ray from Amazon.
