that Bill Hunt guy confuses the crap out of me, he has been wrong so many times I can't trust him anymore

No this release is definitely happening

D00mM4r1n3 · 07-12-2025, 06:27 AM

I would rather have Blu-rays of the sequels.

Network23 · 07-12-2025, 08:25 AM

Day !, Way to go Mickey!

It just doesn't matter.

Paramount lost the rights?

Paramount hasn't had video rights on this one for a long time. Lionsgate released the Blu-ray.

Oh boy, I can't wait to pay $45 for this...!

Hit it to the girl with big boobs. That's always been my motto too.

Passing on High Tension since I already have the Second Sight edition. It's also being released by Imprint. Glad to see these films being given a lot of attention but many of us import. If US labels would give people a heads up, some of us would wait for the domestic releases. I thought It Follows was overrated. Don't need that one.

I thought Daybreakers was coming this month

Thanks for the warning

Those pictures....ugh! Like 110 still camera film or the photo paper used in the 1970's? Those hexagons that make up the picture. 99% of the photos my parents took of my sister and I look like this. You go to scan a photo and it's like WTF is this! LOL

I'm on board with this. Pretty sure the third movie is the first film of the franchise I ever saw. Dempsey had a good run as the nerd back then. Loverboy's a really fun flick.

They possibly never did. The laserdisc and CED were through Vestron Video, first DVD from HBO, remastered DVD from Sony, Blu-ray from Lionsgate.

Seems like Meatballs ended up being part of the Cinepix library, which preceded Lionsgate. Would also explain why a Vestron Series Blu of Shivers happened since it's part of the same group of films.

Paramount released it on VHS in 1981.
