'''''Man-Thing''''' is a 2005 horror movie based on the [[Marvel]] [[Man-Thing (Comic Book)|comicbookcomic book]]. It was directed by Brett Leonard<ref> (''[[The Dead Pit (Film)|The Dead Pit]]'', ''[[The Lawnmower Man]]'', ''[[Virtuosity (Film)|Virtuosity]]'' and ''[[Highlander: the Source (Film)|Highlander theThe Source]]'')</ref>.
 
The film starts with one Kyle Roberts arriving the town of Bywater to be its new sheriff. He then starts investigating the deaths in the swamp near it, which all seem to be linked to the Schist Petroleum oil rig nearby. It seems that the company's wrongdoings in the area has awakened its guardian...
 
There was also a three-part tie-in comicbookcomic book series released in 2004. A prequel to the film, it details insurance adjuster Nathan Mehr's investigation on the attacks against Schist's oil drilling equipment.
