Good new for Clive Barker fans. The new horror film based on his short story “Midnight Meat Train“, which recently was reported as going straight to dvd, is in fact getting an actual theatrical release… But not in Canada.
Apparently, the Canadian company that generally looks after Lionsgate distribution isn’t going to release it up there. Right now it’s unclear as to when Midnight Meat Train will be released, or if it will get a wide or only limited release.
On a related note, it’s also being reported that they’ve changed the fantastic name of the film from “Midnight Meat Train” to just “Midnight Train”. WHAT A FUCKING RETARDED MOVE! What the hell are they thinking? “Oh look, we’ve got this great horror title…. let’s change it to something that sounds like a Sarah Jessica Parker romantic comedy instead!” (Source: ShockTillYouDrop)
