This is a little film that is well done with a personal touch. It never loses sight of the little people, for whom the swamp monster is a hero. This is a reprise of Beauty and the Beast, pure and simple. I am a Heather Locklear fan and the movie makes good use of her. The funny thing is a lot of guys remember her being carried out of the burning mansion at the end, a spectacular and sexy sight. Ironically, the producers would not risk their star in the scene so a body double/stunt woman was in most aspects of that scene.
