We Now Interrupt Your Regularly Scheduled Program... UPDATE (8/4)

The weekend numbers for the film are in, and, if spun correctly, don't look too bad. Check out Bloody Disgusting's article on it here.

Instead of the usual capsule reviews, I've decided to do an emergency post on a horror news story I've been following. The crisis at hand concerns the new adaptation of Clive Barker's short story, Midnight Meat Train. Bloody-Disgusting reports:

"I've been sitting in the back seat watching the stories unfold regarding Lionsgate vs. Clive Barker about his film The Midnight Meat Train. We reported awhile back that the film was slated to open in limited theaters on August 1st, which is all fine and dandy, until I found out that the film is opening in dollar theaters... yeah, $1 theaters. "They're dumping it at mostly dollar theaters (the second run theaters, so it'll make even LESS money)," writes B-D reader Brian W. (one of a handful who wrote in). "It's playing at a Dollar Theater in Norwalk and Oklahoma and Idaho. Check MovieTickets.com if you don't believe me. " The question is, why does Lionsgate want the movie to make less money than it would normally in limited theaters? I'm going to investigate this further as something seems off." - Mr. Disgusting at Bloody-Disgusting

Well, no information has come to light as yet on why they're burying this film. All the early reviews have been fairly positive. It's a Barker adaptation, directed by Ryuhei Kitamura of Versus fame. All signs point to a winner. The only thing I can figure is that there are some bizarre internal politics at work in Lionsgate and this has nothing to do with the film itself, but some assholes personal problems. This is all too common. I myself joined the letter writing campaign to Lionsgate and all we can hope is that the list of Dollar theaters continues to grow, and that this film is a huge hit on DVD, thus delivering a swift kick to the balls of the idiots at Lionsgate behind this move. I will now list the theaters this is currently confirmed to be playing at:

I have made the two closest theaters to my hometown of Cincinnati in bold font for your convience. Please, get the word out and spare a dollar to go see this film as soon as possible. This could be a serious make or break moment for R-rated horror films in general. I'll see you at the Turfway theater on Sunday!

I work till close that night my friend, but I will be racing to try and go see it. Which theater are you thinking of going to see it at? Turfway or Western Hills? I think Turfway is slightly closer and straighter for me to get to from work. Viva les Meat Train!!!
