Rotting swamps, psychological terror, ghoulish murders … things are not looking very good in the DVD releases in a week marked by the launch of “True Detective” (Nic Pizzolatto, Cary Joji Fukunaga, 2014), an HBO series applauded and praised by both public and critics. On the other hand, if your aim is senseless destruction, it is possible that “Godzilla” (Gareth Edwards, 2014) satiates your voracious appetite.
