Man with the X-Ray Eyes coming from SS

Any word on martin/dawn of the dead?

nothing for a while. :(

Just posted now on their Facebook page:

We've also been working on some very exciting additional content and will be making a further announcement with more details on Friday 13th of March.”

i'm guessing an October release...

Yeah, I’m in no rush, I’d rather they take their time and make them the best editions out there :nod:

Blimey! I was only thinking today if there are any updates. Nice.

Someone has a sense of humour. 'The Man With X-Ray Eyes' coming from 'Second Sight'!

Anyway...

Decent enough film, but it’s not worth £22.99 IMO

yes, i'd like this but a standard edition is more appropriate for the status of this film.

Hopefully a release date is coming.

No mention of LE numbers? Typically I have an appointment that Friday afternoon :rolleyes:

Looks ****ing awesome!:woot:

Yeah, great stuff!

Wonder if that means after midnight on the 26th....

Awesome!

Might have to self-isolate when this comes out!!! Lol!
Hope website doesn't crash on the 27th!

Any more news on the releases of the year?;)

nah, nowt... just tumbleweed round these here parts... ;)

I guess we'll know more on the 27th ?

Just press & release the thing!!! I'm face to face with the public every day & the company I work for just want money so when we all pass it to our families I'll be whistleblowing.

i think they are right to delay. i have no income at present so money is going to be tight for a few months. i'm sure there a plenty of others in the same position. i have a massive backlog of unwatched product so i'm not suffering in that respect.

I can't work from home, my wife is struggling to homeschool our son as too much being sent by the school & she actually WORKS from home, so has 1 hour a day to teach him. I don't think I'll be watching any films for a while.

The amount of people using coronavirus as an excuse to watch a f@cking boxset when there are people out there forced to work is bullsh!t.

Nhs workers=heroes
Retail workers= abused daily & probably infected. . Ignored.

that's sad. on the flipside in my area i haven't seen any disrespect towards retail workers but then again i did avoid panic buying phase. i also work in the food/feed industry although my role is deemed non-essential at the moment so i'm well aware of the importance of the farm to fork food chain. not downplaying the nhs but it's true that they get all the lauding when others are doing their bit at the coal face too. stay strong Nos - there are people out there who appreciate it :clap:

hope you don't mind me offering some advice on homeschooling as we went through a mini-meltdown with it but have come up with a good system now. what we are doing is is sticking to our sons school timetable. if there is something on the timetable for which nothing has been issued then we use that period to catch up on subjects where it wasn't possible to fit it all in. any problems we are contacting the teachers direct by e-mail (at first this wasn't working but it seems the teachers are up to speed with their replies now). the other thing i would say is not to stress too much about it if they haven't been issued work - just give them some free time until something turns up. if it look like they have too much try and space it out over a number of periods. if its really overwhelming contact the school and find out what the hell they are playing at. for a lot of schools this is a new system also and there are bound to be teething issues before they themselves settle into a routine.

Definitely the last time I buy this film....probably :lol:

Mine arrived Friday.
Wish to **** I had XRAY eyes and I wouldn't have bothered!-no original art on the reverse sleeve.

I'd just've waited on the standard release.:rolleyes:

I've not seen this one but that cover is awful. As others have said it looks like Ricky Gervais on the cover not Ray Milland.

Every time I see this thread bumped up I think it is the DAWN OF THE DEAD pre-orders going live!

Graham Humphrey's artwork is usually terrific,but sorry G-I'm a fan of the original art for this one.And I sold my Kino disc..... :doh:

You know-I've been trying to think who that looked like-you've hit the nail on the head JH.....

Any word on Martin?

Not yet, no mention about it for weeks :(
