Abominable (2006) Blu-ray Review + Unboxing
It has been sighted 42,000 times in 68 countries, a vicious creature of myth and legend called Sasquatch, Yeti, and perhaps most infamously, Bigfoot. It's been hunted it for years. But what happens when it decides to hunt us?
After recovering from a horrific accident, paraplegic Preston Rogers (Matt McCoy) moves back into the remote cabin where he and his now-deceased wife once lived. When his new neighbor Karen, is attacked by a gigantic creature, Rogers contacts the local authorities. But after the police and those around him dismiss Rogers as a delusional widower, he sets out to stop the abominable creature himself.
Featuring an all-star cast that includes Matt McCoy (L.A. Confidential, HBO's ''Silicon Valley'') Jeffrey Combs (Re-Animator, The Frighteners), Paul Gleason (The Breakfast Club, Die Hard), Rex Linn (Django Unchained, A Million Ways To Die in the West), Haley Joel (Tony 'n' Tina s Wedding), Phil Morris (''Seinfeld'', Black Dynamite), Dee Wallace (E.T., Cujo), Tiffany Shepis (Tales of Halloween, Victor Crowley) and Lance Henriksen (Aliens, Hard Target) in this wild and gruesome throwback horror shocker that Fangoria called ''The best serious fright film ever made about Bigfoot!''

The Return of Swamp Thing (1989) Blu-ray Review + Unboxing
Everyone's favorite muck-encrusted plant-man is back in this tongue-in-cheek action-adventure starring Louis Jourdan and Heather Locklear. Sequel to the original cult classic Swamp Thing and based on the award-winning D.C. Comics series, this visually dynamic film plants our moss-infested superhero in a dangerous love affair.
When beautiful horticulturist Abigail Arcane visits her stepfather, Dr. Anton Arcane, in his high-tech laboratory, she is determined to resolve the mysterious death of her mother. Unfortunately, Arcane is bent on taking her life for the creation of his immortality serum. coming to Abigail's rescue is the former Dr. Alex Holland (now Swamp Thing) who sweeps her away to the heart of the bayou where they soon fall head over heels in love. But their romances goes awry when Arcane ruthlessly hunts down these unlikely lovers with a fiendish array of weaponry.
Will the insane Arcane ever turn over a new leaf? What really happened to Abigails mother? And can a vegetarian and a houseplant ever find true happiness without driving each other up a tree? Chock-full of witty, campy dialogue, The Return of Swamp Thing features dazzling stunt work and striking special effects make-up.
