“The River” didn’t seem to float the boats of TV viewers during its brief eight-episode run, but maybe it’ll fare better on DVD as the Season 1 box set street today, May 22nd, courtesy of ABC Studios. In case you’re on the fence about checking it out, here’s a trio of clips from the show; look for bonus feature clips soon.
Synopsis:
From Executive Producer Steven Spielberg and the director of Paranormal Activity, Oren Peli, a truly harrowing and hair-raising series comes to DVD on May 22, 2012. “The River: The Complete First Season” tells the tale of famed wildlife explorer and TV personality Dr. Emmet Cole, who went looking for magic deep in the uncharted Amazon and never returned.
