Science Made Him A Monster!
Swamp Thing is the perfect blend of thrills, chills and "winsome humor" (Robert Ebert) from master of horror Wes Craven (A Nightmare on Elm Street, The Last House on the Left, The Hills Have Eyes).
Deep in the Florida everglades, a brilliant scientist, Dr. Alec Holland (Ray Wise), and a sexy government agent, Alice Cable (Adrienne Barbeau, The Fog), have developed a secret formula that could end world hunger. Little do they know, however, that their arch nemesis, Arcane (Louis Jourdan, Octopussy), is plotting to steal the serum for his own selfish schemes. Looting the lab and kidnapping Cable, Arcane douses Holland with the chemicals and leaves him for dead. Mutated by his own formula, Holland becomes "Swamp Thing" - a half-human/half-plant superhero who will stop at nothing to rescue Cable and defeat Arcane...even if it costs him his life!

Swamp Thing never received any love in its previous DVD releases from MGM/UA. The first release contained the wrong version of the film and only a theatrical trailer and a “collectible booklet” as extras. The corrected release was even more bare-bones, a theatrical trailer but no collectible booklet. Shout Factory finally got it right with this release, from the cover art to the commentaries to the cast interviews. Even including a DVD copy of the film along with the Blu-ray helps to alleviate the frustration of the previous DVD releases. My only complaint would be no slipcover. It’s a minor quibble, but slipcovers are always nice.
