Go See MMT this weekend!!!! It's Cheap!
Board Midnight Meat Train for Cheap
Source:Ryan Rotten July 30, 2008 Well, they're upholding their end of their contract. Various reports are coming in saying that Ryuhei Kitamura's Midnight Meat Train is hitting theaters this Friday, you'll just have to turn to your bargain theater to see it. Across the country, the Clive Barker adaptation is opening in venues where ticket prices are only one to two dollars! At the start of the week, Shock contacted a rep involved in the film to get an official theater count and potential listings - our query was not answered. This maneuver is the latest in a line of unkind gestures towards the filmmakers of MMT. It began with rumblings of Lionsgate offering a limited release to fulfill its deal with production entity Lakeshore. Genre fans responded with petitions, catching the attention of Barker who endorsed a campaign for a wider bow. In the heat of this backlash, a little bird tells us Lionsgate's Joe Drake called for a meeting with Barker which "did not go well." And here we are, with a flaccid debut for an adaptation that was well-received in Montreal, at the Fantasia Film Festival, and at the San Diego Comic-Con. If you have a chance to catch Midnight Meat Train near you...awesome. Otherwise, stay tuned for DVD release news sooner than later. --------------------- So Lionsgate is trying to make sure that the movie makes a little as possible in the theater just out of spite. There are new folks in charge over there and they are dumping everything produced by the prior regime. A good film is suffering from at the hands of a bunch of petty bitches who don't want to make horror films anymore. Honestly, Lionsgate doesn't want to make any new horror (outside the SAW franchise) they told me this recently as a reason behind passing on a horror script of mine. Go see it! Hell, go see it twice, it'll probably only cost you a couple of bucks. If this film makes any kind of money in the theater it will be a triumph.

Its so good it makes most movies pale in comparison.
Think in terms of Creep meets TCM meets Saw, in all uncut glory. I will be getting the DVD - uncut edition of course. Let me see if any theater nearby will play it...

I got a defective Hostel disc and they would NOT respond to me. I ask Criterion just once about a mis-pressed copy of The Rock (YEARS after it's released) and they offer me an immediate replacement.
