Who loves old school creature feature films? Yep, this guy and if you do to then Swamp Ape is the movie for you. Set in the swamps of Florida, Swamp Ape gets its title from the mythical Skunk Ape, basically the Big Foot of the swampy areas of our country. I grew up in Louisiana so I remember hearing the stories also. Our story is about a group of college students out on a over night camping trip for there science grades. Lead by Professor Stein(Robert Fox) the small group of teens make there way to the camping area with a some of the funniest moments I have seen in any movie in years. They stop at the usual last stop for supplies we all have been in on vacations and are told by the local Chief that this is not a good time to camp, there is a blood moon coming and they should turn back. The professor tells him they have papers for this trip and takes his group anyway. Once they get to the camp they all settle in and meet there guide. The rest of the movie is pretty standard what was that noise and lets go scare the girls in their cabin you would expect from a Indy film but the love of the genre can be felt through the whole film. Directed and written by Geoff Ward for a estimated $20,000 dollars I could tell this movie was fun to make and Mr. Ward must have a love for these types of films. Swamp Ape has comedy, action, humor, and beautiful women, and a “very large” creature. What else could you possibly ask for.
