ogn d Absolutely terrible, awful, not worth watching. Rated 1/5 Stars •  Rated 1 out of 5 stars 03/30/23 Full Review Audience Member not so much B movie fare Rated 2/5 Stars •  Rated 2 out of 5 stars 01/21/23 Full Review Audience Member Creepy, atmospheric little B-movie. Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/27/23 Full Review Audience Member Interesting and atmospheric but creeky old story about a wrongly hanged man and his vengence from beyond the grave. Directed by Frank Wisbar, Strangler of the Swamp is his second take on the same story that he directed ten years earlier in Germany under the title Fahrmann Maria/Ferryman Maria. The voluptuous Rosemary La Plance is strategically costumed in a free-flowing blouse to serve as the main attention grabber, aside from the great mood and effective camera work. Slow but worthwhile semi-classic from PRC. Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/07/23 Full Review Audience Member This short-and-sweet, mildly creepy B-movie has plenty of atmosphere with its swirling mist, bullfrogs croaking, and swamp muck, and the characters are fairly appealing. The movie does what it sets out to do: tell a ghost story with no frills. Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/18/23 Full Review Audience Member Superlative American horror film with plainly evident German Expressionist roots. The action is mostly confined to a single foggy swamp set. Tree branches fill the foreground of most shots. Supremely spooky. The camera tracks the ferry back and forth across the swamp, granting the film a lulling cadence. Director Frank Wisbar had filmed this same story, as "Fährmann Maria", 10 years earlier in his native Germany. How I'd love to see that!
