THE DC COMICS SUPERHERO COMES TO LIFE IN WES CRAVEN'S CULT CLASSIC FILM, MAKING ITS 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

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

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

This is paradigm for how to handle vintage low-budget filmmaking in 4K. Digital tools were used only when necessary, and always with a delicate touch. Any age-related flaws or damage have been completely removed, but nothing else has been done to “fix” any of the ones that were inherent to the original production. The grading respects the filmmaker’s intentions without trying to improve upon it. This is exactly how it should be done...
