Notes et avis

Surprisingly, this is actually a "high budget" B-horror flick that delivers some pretty good entertainment. Better than average results, that follow a "mystery and mythology" trope of a creature, more than cheap jump scares. If you read the "three prelude comics" from Marvel that tie into this film = even the better. This was worth $7.99 HD and worth an occasional rewatch, when in the mood for something different and elusive. Cool fun here, and I love the darker violent version of Man-Thing.

just cant understand why someone licenses a marvel comic book character then totally changes it into something that has next to nothing to do with the comic book.

Slow and boring. Not enough Man-Thing. And nothing like the comic book.
