Zindy The Swamp Boy

I hadn't heard of the Rifftrax version. Just came across the real version somewhere on Amazon Prime.

Variety's review of Roger Corman's 1956 movie, Swamp Women, praised it for its title but not much else.

I'm afraid I feel the same about this Swamp Boy movie. A Mexican production filmed mostly in the Everglades. A pre-teen lives with his fugitive grandfather in a hut. They really want to kill a puma that's walking around out there but they have muzzle-loading rifles so they'd only get one shot, and apparently the puma understands this and would attack them while they were reloading.

The movie was pretty dull. Didn't have enough plot. You'd think a swamp boy movie would be more interesting.

They hunt for alligators, they want to kill that puma. They don't even try to explain why they have a chimpanzee. There's quicksand. We see grandpa kill a man in flashback.

I kept thinking the kid's grandfather was calling him "Cindy".
