05/10/2013 not so much B movie fare See more 07/16/2011 Creepy, atmospheric little B-movie. See more 07/06/2010 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. See more 05/23/2010 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. See more 08/16/2009 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! See more 10/18/2008 Cheesy movie with bad acting, but a decent movie to watch to get you in the Halloween spirit. See more Read all reviews
