Ryuhei Kitamura’s debut American horror film Midnight Meat Train gave rise to some friction between horror fans and Lionsgate earlier this year when the latter dumped the film into a limited amount of theaters. This adaptation of the Clive Barker story has since had a healthy run on VOD and FearNet, but if you haven’t seen it there then February 17th is the day for you. That’s when Lionsgate Home Entertainment releases the film on DVD and Blu-Ray.
Special features include:
• Anatomy of a Murder: the Making of The Midnight Meat Train featurette
• World of Clive Barker featurette
• Mahogany’s Bag featurette
Bradley Cooper plays struggling photographer Leon Kaufman. his obsessive pursuit of dark subject matter leads him into the path of a serial killer, Mahogany (Vinnie Jones), the subway murderer who stalks late-night commuters – ultimately butchering them in the most gruesome ways imaginable. With his concerned girlfriend Maya (Leslie Bibb) fearing for his life, Leon’s relentless fascination with Mahogany lures him further and further into the bowels of the subways and ultimately into an abyss of pure evil – inadvertently pulling Maya right along with him.
