Shatter Dead DVD

[Vdlman]

Does anybody know when this DVD is coming out? According to Fangoria's website it's due out this month but they don't have a specific date and the month is really winding down. Anybody know what's up with this one?

I was on the b-movie.com website earlier today (the people who will be putting the DVD out). and they said that it should be out in a couple of weeks. They also said that they are almost done with the DVD of Jess Franco's Eight Legs to Love You, and were working on Meat Market, Jess Franco's Vampire Blues, Vampire Junction and Blind Target. Pretty cool if you ask me, at least the rest of those new Franco discs won't have the shitty as covers like the seduction sinema ones (Tender Flesh, Lust for Frankenstien).

What's it about? Any good?

Meat Market is a Canadian zombie film with surprisingly good production values (some major downtown areas are swamped with the undead), a strong anime influence, a bit of style, some bloodshed, vampire lesbians, and a mexican wrestler... It's not perfect by any means, and it's not really a gorefest, but I liked it enough to recommend it. There's apparently a sequel out now that'll also be making it's way to DVD.

Sounds cool. I'll be on the lookout for it.

b-movie.com put out a very nice DVD edition of Ice From The Sun... an interesting movie with a neat concept, I really liked it. Their only other original DVD release is Inbred Rednecks... whcih I have yet to hear much about thus have not purchased. Ice From The Sun from a cool director who's other films I'd been following for a while so the purchase of that wasn't blind.

As I no longer purchase VHS, I have been waiting for these other films to make their way to DVD for a long time... Shatter Dead and Meat Market.

And right on about those E.I. Indie covers for their Shit-duction Cinema line... as if the actual fims weren't bad enough. This company has a nice catelogue of very interesting horror titles they could put on the market... so why arn't they?

My urge to see new Franco movies is in constant battle with my urge to not buy any more VHS just to purchase the movie again in a year on DVD. Errrr, just put out the damned DVD's already. And what is up with that Dr. Wong's Virtual Hell movie. It's supposd to be One Shot's lost Jess Franco movie, hmmm, just throw it out on DVD too, Us franco fans will buy it.

I don't see how these newer movies of his are even making enough to pay for their meager budgets. Not only do they not play theatrically, and not go into the rental stores, you can't even really get your hands on them, and their being made by an American company, it just doesn't make any sense to me.
