Rifftrax Live: The Return of the Swamp Thing

New review from The Movie Snob.

Rifftrax Live: The Return of Swamp Thing  (B-).  I think this was the only live show that the Rifftrax guys did in 2022, and I didn’t see it live; I just watched it on DVD.  It was decent but not one of the best Rifftrax performances ever.  The movie is really amazingly bad, a 1989 stinker starring the undeniably cute Heather Locklear (The Perfect Man).  She’s a California florist who for some reason decides to go see her sinister stepfather in his creepy mansion somewhere deep in the swamps of Louisiana.  And there’s a swamp thing (Dick Durock, Stand by Me), who is a slimy, green, plant guy who was apparently a normal human who got transformed into a hideous mutant while working on scientific experiments with the aforementioned stepfather. Very goofy and, with the riffing, decently entertaining.
