Author: Undead_Master Swamp women rocks!!! It has a fun cheesy story about fugitive women, some bad acting mixed with some `ok' acting, lots of funny dialogue and of-course, many scenes of attractive women rolling around on the ground trying to kill each other while wearing skimpy clothing. Corman does a nice job with a limited budget (as is his trademark.) squeezing the most entertainment he can out of limited material. We have some nice visuals (I love the moving shots in the swamp) and the style of the film is much more polished than most movies in this budget range. The pacing is quick…

It sometimes happens that a new director will appear on the scene with a gem of a debut which sets the bar so high that the director is never able to clear it again. Roger Corman's debut movie however sets the bar pretty low, which makes it funny that he should so consistently fail to clear it throughout his subsequent career - see The Terror (also on archive.org) for an example. In fact, The Masque of the Red Death excepted, I find that the idea of Roger Corman (as a director) is invariably more impressive than Roger Corman on celluloid. There is nothing in Swamp Women to disabuse me of this…
