The premise

Agents of an oil tycoon vanish while exploring a swamp marked for drilling. The local sheriff investigates and faces a Seminole legend come to life: Man-Thing, a shambling swamp-monster whose touch burns those who feel fear.

Horror Vault's take

Deep in the Louisiana bayou, a series of brutal disappearances draws a newly arrived sheriff into a mystery that goes far beyond missing persons. Ancient Seminole legend and the ruthless ambitions of an oil company collide in the fetid dark of the swamp, where something vast and terrifying has awakened. Man-Thing is a Marvel creature feature that leans into swamp-drenched atmosphere and primal dread, pitting modern greed against a force that has haunted these wetlands for centuries.
