THE RETURN OF SWAMP THING Sprouts Up on Blu-ray on May 15th!


THE FUN AND CAMPY SEQUEL TO WES CRAVEN'S "SWAMP THING" DEBUTS ON BLU-RAY AS PART OF THE MVD REWIND COLLECTION!

THE RETURN OF SWAMP THING is one of my all-time favorite sequels! Heck, I'd even go as far to say that it is one of my favorite films! I have fond memories of renting this on VHS from the long extinct video store that was near my house, and watching it over and over again! And now that THE RETURN OF SWAMP THING has received (what appears to be) a definitive Blu-ray release, I couldn't be happier!

Synopsis: After her mother's mysterious death, Abigail Arcane (Heather Locklear) travels to the Florida swamps to confront her resurrected evil stepfather Dr. Anton Arcane (Louis Jourdan). In an attempt to stave off the effects of aging, Dr. Arcane, assisted by Dr. Lana Zurrell (Sarah Douglas), combines genes from various swamp animals and human beings, creating an army of monsters known as Un-Men.

When Abby arrives, Dr. Arcane is hell-bent on taking his own stepdaughter's life in the name of science... that is until she is rescued by SWAMP THING in this must-see sequel to the original cult classic and based on the award-winning DC Comics series!

From Melniker and Michael E. Uslan, the executive producers of BATMAN V SUPERMAN: DAWN OF JUSTICE, and legendary cult film director Jim Wynorski (CHOPPING MALL, NOT OF THIS EARTH, SHARKANSAS WOMEN'S PRISON MASSACRE), THE RETURN OF SWAMP THING features an all-star cast that includes Heather Locklear (Melrose Place, UPTOWN GIRLS), Louis Jordan (SWAMP THING, OCTOPUSSY), Sarah Douglas (SUPERMAN II, CONAN THE DESTROYER) and Dick Durock (RAW DEAL, STAND BY ME) returning as the SWAMP THING.
