  WSR Narrative Review
Story Synopsis:
Based on the wildly popular D.C. Comics character, Swamp Thing stars Dick Durock as the half man/half plant superhero who roams the Florida Everglades. It all started when Dr. Alec Holland (Wise) developed a secret formula with the potential to cure the world

DVD Picture:
The 1.85:1 DVD is not anamorphically enhanced, and exhibits images that are sometimes sharp, but usually lack fine detail and definition. The picture is very gritty, with some scenes appearing extremely

Soundtrack:
The soundtrack is Dolby
