Midnight Meat Train Straight to DVD
Maple Pictures emailed me last night to let me know that Midnight Meat Train will not get a theatrical release. It will be going straight to DVD despite all the fan buzz and hype for its release. This is despite earlier reports that it would be in theatres this May. Japanese director Ryuhei Kitamura makes his North American debut with Meat Train, Kitamura's previous credits include Versus, Godzilla Final Wars, & Azumi.
In Midnight Meat Train, photographer Leon Kauffman is flowing up on a lead concerning a series of brutal murders on subway. His search leads him to a mysterious man named Mahogany. Kauffman enters Mahogany's realm and learns the secret behind the horror. Watch the trailer below.
Update: From Shocktilyoudrop ( thanks for posting ) comes word that it will be getting a US theatrical release which is good news for all you american readers.
