Let’s get this out of the way first: yes, this 4K release includes the uncensored version with Adrienne Barbeau’s infamous topless scene and those risqué lounge dancers. If you’ve been hunting for the unrated cut that got sanitized in the ’80s, rejoice—it’s here, alongside the theatrical version. The menu even trolls nostalgia lovers with VHS insertion sounds and retro scanlines. Cute touch.

The transfer? A mixed bag. Some scenes pop with newfound clarity, showcasing every wrinkle of Swamp Thing’s rubber suit (bless its B-movie heart). But others look like they were upscaled from a dusty VHS—soft, grainy, and questioning why they bothered with 4K. Still, for Wes Craven completists or DC Comics diehards, this is the definitive edition. The fire scene? Stunning. The swamp greens? Luridly vibrant.

Extras recycle older Blu-ray bonuses but toss in a rare R-rated cut as a bonus. Sound is merely passable—don’t expect DTS:X wizardry. And at $60? Oof. It’s steep for a campy ’82 flick, but scarcity gouging is real. Verdict: A must-own for fans, but casual viewers might balk at the price-to-cheese ratio.
