SWAMP THING Blu-ray + DVD Combo Pack 2013 Scream Factory Deep in the Florida everglades, a brilliant scientist, Dr. Alec Holland (Ray Wise), and a sexy government agent, Alice Cable (Adrienne Barbeau), have developed a secret formula that could end world hunger. Little do they know, however, that their arch nemesis, Arcane (Louis Jourdan, 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! Technical Specs: Region A locked Video Resolution/Codec: 1080p/AVC MPEG-4 Length: 91 (Some people advertising double this number for each disc) Aspect Ratio(s): 1.85:1 Audio Formats: English DTS-HD Master 2.0 Mono "Not your typical sci-fi monster flick, 'Swamp Thing' transcends any notions of genre definitions and is really an atypical movie altogether. It involves monsters and some light science themes, to be sure, but it remains a weird concoction that also features gene-splicing, the best Miracle Grow on the planet, and corporate greed, making it rather difficult to pinpoint precisely why I enjoy the movie in the first place. While its best aspects build up the action, revving audiences towards the obligatory showdown — although admittedly, that final battle with the ManBearPig is hilariously unexpected — the film's shortcomings are surprisingly not its drawbacks, but rather the very reasons it is a guilty pleasure. Based on the DC Comic by Len Wein and Bernie Wrightson, 'Swamp Thing' comes with an unabashed playful side, not meant to be taken as a serious actioner. With tongue firmly resting against the cheek, the story about environmental scientist Alec Holland's (Ray Wise) transformation into a the hideously green, thickly-vined monster (Dick Durock) is told with a great deal of intentional camp. Some rather choice editing tricks make this quite apparent, as imaginative dissolves and wipes continuously remind viewers they are watching a movie sourced from a comic book. They often prompt memories of the similar graphics from the 'Batman' TV series, although here, they serve as scene transitions. Then there's the acting, which is not bad as much as it is exaggerated and spirited with performances that feel like caricatures. The pair of bumbling mercenaries played by David Hess and Nicholas Worth pave the way with cartoonish henchmen-like silliness. Louis Jourdan as the criminal Dr. Anton Arcane is arguably the most memorable, delivering a wonderful stock evil genius all dressed in black and twirling his imaginary moustache every time he conceives his next wicked move. At the end of the day, however, this is Adrienne Barbeau's show as Agent Alice Cable, who is having the worst first day on the job ever. You gotta love her mix of damsel in distress and tough, quick-on-her-toes survivalist. The romance that blossoms between her and the Swamp Thing is not one where she needs a hero, but a mutual idealistic pursuit against Arcane."
