Midnight Meat Train is a movie based on a classic Clive Barker short story. All signs point to this being a great return to some serious deep hard-R creepy-ass horror. Can’t have that, can we?
Apparently there’s some political dick wagging happening over at Lionsgate that might scuttle the flick. My good friend Brian over at Horror-Movie-A-Day is trying to organize a campaign to save Midnight Meat Train:
A very reliable SOURCE from Lionsgate has told me that the Lionsgate decision to “dump” Midnight Meat Train in as few screens as they are contractually required and then rush the film to DVD is based purely on INTERNAL POLITICS.
The new head honcho doesn’t like the old head honcho and is deliberately “dumping” all of his films out of spite and malice.
But there is HOPE! The only thing that overrides backstabbing politics in Hollywood is PURE GREED. It is clearly not healthy for investor relations to “dump” a movie that has a vocal and dedicated audience. Midnight Meat Train represents the kind of horror film that audiences have been dying for!!!
There is growing internal pressure within the company for a wider release of this film and PUBLIC FAN PRESSURE may help to push this decision over the edge.
Read the rest here, and get on board!
