There's no point in calling it a trilogy considering there are 4 films in the series.

Any “insider info” on an eventual Road Meat release? *cue crickets *

I'm always here to spill the beans, but unfortunately, when it comes to "Road Meat," I'm in the dark alley just like you. We were actually working on this one with a partner, and we were all set to bring you an epic release. We put our heart and soul into it - interviews, a brand-new scan, the whole shebang.

But you know how it goes - sometimes, even with the best plans in place, things don't go according to script. Our partner seems to have taken an unexpected detour, and the Road Meat release has hit a bit of a roadblock. 🛑

Gone are the days of teasing and titillating with early announcements! Back in our beginnings, we used to drop hints and have a grand old time with title teases. But let's face it, we're all living in the fast lane these days. Patience? Ain't nobody got time for that! So we've learned our lesson - no more pre-reveal antics. We're keeping our lips sealed until we've got those DVDs and Blu-rays ready to roll. Just remember, the thrill of the reveal is still alive and well, but it'll be a quick pit stop on the way to your screen. 🏁📀

Truer words have never been said. I totally understand and wish more labels would do this. They hint a title and it never comes to fruition. It's disappointing to all, not just the fans buying it. Plus, these companies announce acquiring titles, but sit on them for years on end. Frustrating to fans for sure. I just wish more companies would announce what is a done deal, than speculate. Even Kino does it, like with BUG, then they say its not coming.... Even the big boys screw up. I get it, it doesn't create excitement for a label. But what it does is create anger and disappointment when its not a done deal, so kudos to Massacre if this is what they will do from now on.

You've hit the nail on the head! It's like a psychological dance between excitement and letdown, right? We definitely hear you on the frustration that can arise when announcements don't translate into reality. We're all about minimizing those disappointments and focusing on delivering the goods. So, here's to keeping the thrill alive without the rollercoaster of uncertainty! 🎉📀 Your understanding and support mean the world to us!

I wonder why I'm not more surprise with the situation? Can't wait the explanations.

I was kind of expecting this, but it still hits you.

^ What, "the latest developments"? Everyone been waiting the shipping of the trilogy an extra month already.

So if I understood anything right from those fancy words; they have part 1 & 3 ready to go, but The Laboratory of the Devil is still "on its way". Am I getting this right?

[nekromantik]

i had it pre ordered but never got that email....
really? they shipped each movie individuallu and will pack them into cardboard sleeve and then ship. So sounds like we gave them our money in June and we wont have the items until earliest December at this rate.

[agenda]

I honestly can't figured out the big picture from that latest email, I really can't. Why won't they just tell the day that they assume to be the day when ALL 3 Men Behind the Sun films will be shipped?

[jcs913]

Man...I'm so glad I waited to order this. Like Joel said a few posts above..Dejavu..
The first movie will suffice.... when its readily available.
