I Want My Midnight Meat Train!

By Dennis Dermody

This really ticks me off -- I was all jazzed about Aug. 1st as the opening day for The Midnight Meat Train, the film based on the great Clive Barker short story. Directed by Japanese cult director Ryuhei Kitamura (Versus, Azumi) and starring Bradley Cooper, Leslie Bibb and Vinnie Jones, it's about a New York photographer tracking down an elusive serial killer who prowls the subways late at night. I heard from friends who saw it at Fantasia Festival that it was terrific, but good luck finding the movie. Lionsgate is dumping it in second string theaters in Arizona, Texas and across the country. They obviously are uninterested in its theatrical possibilities and are ditching the film, which is a shame for fans who want to experience it on the big screen and with an audience. I want my Midnight Meat Train!
