Clive Barker's MEAT TRAIN Goes Limited

I don't get it. Good early reviews, a story by one the masters (Clive Barker)and a decent trailer. They'll put out total shite horror movies and they'll make money but not one that looks promising...Of course maybe they know something I don't.

Maybe cause it has a title that sounds like a gay 70's porno.

I have to say, judging solely on the trailer, this looks pretty damn cool. It looks like some serious horror flick, instead of crappy remakes like Prom Night full of WB rejects. I do think that maybe it would have opened in more theaters if it didn't sound like a gay pick-up line. "So, you want a ride on the Midnight Meat Train?" "Here's your ticket to the midnight meat train!" Yeah, that definitely sounds gay. Not that there's anything wrong with that.
You know if this shit was named "Saw" or freaking "Train Butcher", Lionsgate would be all over it.

My question is, why no one has cast Vinnie Jones as a psycho serial killer before this. He definitely has that special look about him.

Well, technically Clive is gay (or bi not sure if he likes girls or not) but sure that had nothing to do with the title sounding gay, too bad on the name though, but hell i'm horrible at names for my scripts, the actual name and character names so i forgive.

Clive likes to ride the meat train.

Not that there is anything wrong with that.

Wow, Seinfeld is totally become a part of out culture.

Clive Barker going straight to DVD!?!?!?!?!

This is the first sign of the coming apocalypse!!!!!!!!!

God I hope one of my theaters falls into the 100 theater lottery. D@mn you Lionsgate!!

You mean, Clive Barker going gay to DVD...ha

I think the decision has to do, at least partially if not primarily, with the cast not being able to bring enough of a draw to mount a theatrical run. Bradley Cooper, Brooke Shields, Leslie Bibb and Vinnie Jones - those are not names that I would run out to see in the theaters not to mention that Clive Barker, although a Horror Master in print has not had a good theatrical movie since Hellraiser.

Anyway, IMHO.

meatcamp, I think you're right. I however would go see this solely based on the trailer. I think it looks good enough to do some decent business for this type of film (which may be around 20 mil if marketed right). Use the power of the web.


note to Lakers' fans (hanso et al) I am repeating this
That's how you pull off a comeback. No that half ass shit that went down in game 2. Either you do it all the way or else it isn't worth talking about. I was about to jump out of my window at halftime but only cause I'm on the first floor. I knew we had the Lakers right where we wanted them, 24 point ahead and ripe for the kill. BOOO HAA HAA HA ha ha ha...Yeah that's my evil laugh.
