‘Meet the Applegates’
“Meet the Applegates” (also known simply as “The Applegates”) was a victim of studio financial woes. This is an odd film about a family of praying mantises living in human skins in an ordinary suburban town. The studio, New World, went bust while this movie was still in postproduction, which led to a delay in its release. The rights for “The Applegates” now lie with Lionsgate, but while the movie has attained a cult status, the studio doesn’t seem too keen to release it in HD.
