Anyone going to check out this flick, opening tonight? It's from the demented mind of Clive Barker, and through some scheduling oddity, it's opening at our discount ($2.50 a ticket!) theater. We're catching the 9:10 showing!!
Now that Im all moved into my new place I think I have to FINALLY see TDK tonight. But I am def gonna check this one out as well. Maybe Sat nite. Looks deliciously devilish! Btw Doc we're gettin a Red X on the pic
Much Better. I noticed the film was done by acclaimed Japanese director Ryuhei Kitamura. Makes me wanna see it even more. Check out a movie called 'LoveDeath'. Great film...long, but great.
Ok, wait ... you can get something in Springpatch you can't get in WPB? I feel like I'm taking crazy pills!
I did a little checking in my area and cant find it either Doc. We're South Florida, we get everything later than you Northern folks. Shoot, we didnt get 'Wild Cherry Pepsi' until the late 90's, about 15 years after it was available up North...
iv'e been waiting for this to come out for a long time. i read the story through the books of blood(several good storys by different writers) when i was in high school and thought it was great(and im not much into reading). unfortunately for me they are not showing this in my area(that i know of)but fortunately for me it should come to dvd rather quickly. so for those that do get to see it in the theatres i would appreciate any nonspoiler reveiws or just a basic it was good/bad would suffice.
I was living in Ft. Myers at the time, maybe you guys didnt get it... or your recreational drug use could've hindered your memory
That's actually when I was living in Homestead as a small children. Will do. It's a limited release tonight. I have no idea how it ended up here.
I just called the two biggest theatres in my area, the Regal 16 in Coral Springs and the Regal 23 at Sawgrass Mills Mall and both said they didnt know if it was going to be shown there... what are the requirements for movie clerk, breathing?
There is a major fued goin on about this movie. Lionsgate wasnt even going to show it in theaters but had to to fullfil thier obligation so they only picked a handfull of places that only charge $1 or $2 admission.
Well, they're upholding their end of their contract. Various reports are coming in saying that Ryuhei Kitamura's Midnight Meat Train is hitting theaters this Friday, you'll just have to turn to your bargain theater to see it. Across the country, the Clive Barker adaptation is opening in venues where ticket prices are only one to two dollars! At the start of the week, Shock contacted a rep involved in the film to get an official theater count and potential listings - our query was not answered. This maneuver is the latest in a line of unkind gestures towards the filmmakers of MMT. It began with rumblings of Lionsgate offering a limited release to fulfill its deal with production entity Lakeshore. Genre fans responded with petitions, catching the attention of Barker who endorsed a campaign for a wider bow. In the heat of this backlash, a little bird tells us Lionsgate's Joe Drake called for a meeting with Barker which "did not go well." And here we are, with a flaccid debut for an adaptation that was well-received in Montreal, at the Fantasia Film Festival, and at the San Diego Comic-Con. http://shocktillyoudrop.com/news/topnews.php?id=7154
i try not to judge a book(movie) by its cover...or its title... but this has got to be the best movie EVER.
Finally saw it tonight, and it's a good thing, as it closes here tomorrow. If you like horror, and this is playing anywhere in your vicinity, run -- DO NOT WALK -- to see it. It is fantastic.
it was that good huh? outstanding..i can not wait till it hits dvd either. so can you tell us a few things about it without spoilers like how did the acting go? i read a review that said the acting was very b-ratedish and it was slow at times(iv'e read the book and know it wasnt ment as a fast paced action horror film) but it was probly coming from someone who never read the book. also how was the scare/jump factor? could you see things coming a mile away or were the scares unexpected?
Let's see ... I'd say the acting was a little uneven, but I wouldn't call it B-rated. The scares are not totally unexpected -- there is just enough warning given to increase the anticipatory fear factor. But it is strkingly brutal. This is a gut-punch of a movie.
Heads up-if you have FearNet on your cable company's lineup (it is usually on On Demand channel), Midnignt Meat Train is on there. Free. Introduced by Clive Barker. I just watched it and DAMN. Dr. AstroZoom wasn't exagerating-it is a gut punch of a movie. Awesome doesn't begin to describe it. Watch it NOW!
I took your advice and watched it on FEARnet. I didnt know what to expect. Pretty good though. Spoiler I was a little surprised they decided to go with the whole "Time Machine" style ending with the ancient race of monsters. Would have been nice had they gave more backstory to it. Guess thats Clive Barker though.
This movie is freaking INCREDIBLE!!! Just watched it over my friend's house. Absolutely loved it. BULLET TOOTH RULES ALL! Clive Barker comes through big time IMO...
you know the Seinfeld episode when George wanted to be called T-Bone...well thats how i feel about this movie.
