1.0

This was hard to get through, despite being so short. It was all over the place; the main character is completely forgettable, the character who she's interviewing has an interesting history with the creature, but rambles on and on about baseball, and the Swamp Thing references bring nothing to the table except unfulfilled potential. I love the idea of eco-horror (and Swamp Thing!), but this lacked the scares, and missed the mark entirely.
