MVD Entertainment Group is heading back to the bog this May with their special Blu-ray release of Jim Wynorski's The Return of Swamp Thing. The fifth release in MVD's Rewind Collection, The Return of Swamp Thing will include a 2K transfer of the 1989 movie, a new audio commentary, and several fresh interviews that are detailed in the full list of bonus features:
From MVD Rewind Collection's Facebook Page: "MVD Rewind Collection #5 is THE RETURN OF SWAMP THING! Street Date is May 8, 2018.
This one has been driving me crazy because everytime I think we are done with adding bonus material, the head of Lightyear Entertainment keeps bringing me more. Now this is subject to change, but I think what we have below is what will be on the release. It's jam packed and I'm super stoked to get this on Blu-ray.
AMERICA’S FAVORITE SUPERHERO IS BACK IN ACTION!
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!
