THE DC COMICS SUPERHERO COMES TO LIFE IN WES CRAVEN'S CULT CLASSIC FILM, MAKING IT'S DEBUT ON 4K ULTRA HD!

Deep in Florida's darkest everglades, a brilliant scientist, Dr. Alec Holland (Ray Wise, Robocop) and a sexy government agent, Alice Cable (Adrienne Barbeau, John Carpenter's The Fog) have developed a secret formula that could end world hunger and change civilization forever. 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 in the swamp. Mutated by his own formula, Holland becomes "Swamp Thing" - a half human/half plant superhero who will stop at nothing to rescue the beautiful Cable and defeat the evil Arcane... even if it costs him his life.

Press Quotes

Craven tries to do this 'veggie-man' horror in a suitable DC Comics style; and with Louis Jourdan as arch-villain 'Arcane', not to mention Adrienne Barbeau as the Thing's object of desire, he's definitely on the right track.

     —Geoff Andrew, Time Out

One of those movies that fall somewhere between buried treasures and guilty pleasures.

     —Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times

Craven keeps the story moving at a sprint and writes some agonizingly (and probably intentionally) terrible dialogue.

     —Rob Gonsalves, eFilmCritic.com
