NIGHT TRAIN on DVD and Blu-ray »
(now available — July 7)

National Entertainment Media delivers the thrills and chills with Night Train, starring Danny Glover, Steve Zahn, and Leelee Sobieski. A nail-biter about three strangers who find themselves on a collision course with destiny, Night Train promises a one-way ticket to terror.

This summer, greed, murder and paranoia take first class seats on Night Train, a taut, new thriller starring Danny Glover (Lethal Weapon, Saw), Leelee Sobieski (88 Minutes, The Wicker Man) and Steve Zahn (Management, Joy Ride, Saving Silverman).

National Entertainment Media brings this nail-biting suspense film in the vein of Shallow Grave and The Ninth Gate to audiences as a simultaneous direct-to-DVD and Blu-ray release ($24.98 SRP each) that promises a one-way ticket to terror.

How far would you go to have everything you desire? Christmas Eve… when a veteran conductor (Glover), a young pre-med student (Sobieski) and a struggling salesman (Zahn) discover a dead body onboard a night train, the three strangers find themselves on a collision course with destiny. Among the deceased man's possessions is a mysterious box, which fascinates their attention. Upon looking inside, they see a treasure so valuable that the three conspire to hide the body and split the fortune themselves. This decision sets in motion a tense game of obsession and deceit, where greed betrays reason and morality gives way to temptation. With local authorities at every stop and an assortment of suspicious passengers along for the ride, can the three strangers overcome their fixation with the coveted box or will they delve even deeper into the trenches of depravity?

Bonus features on both the DVD and Blu-ray editions of NIGHT TRAIN include a "Making of" featurette, interviews with the cast and crew, along with the trailer and photo gallery. The film is presented with Spanish and SDH English subtitles for the deaf and hard of hearing.

Also featuring Matthias Schweighoefer (The Red Baron, Fear.com), Geoff Bell (RocknRolla, Scoop) and Richard O'Brien (The Rocky Horror Picture Show, Dark City) in supporting roles. NIGHT TRAIN was written by and is the feature film directorial debut of Brian King, whose previous screenwriting credits include the film Cypher (starring Jeremy Northam and Lucy Liu). An independent production from A-Mark Entertainment, Rifkin-Eberts and Film Tiger, the film was shot on location in Bulgaria.

EXCERPT: Filmmakers over the decades have been fascinated by trains as a site because of the "unknown" and mystical space or realm that trains represent. More so, the relative ease with which a person can get off a train after committing a crime presents various scenarios for a thriller movie.

After watching this film, I found more similarities to Danny Boyle's "Sunshine" (2007). Both films ended up as slasher flicks which is different from what the filmmakers set up in the beginning of each movie. The homage to old noir films and Hitchcockian thrillers does not really come through for me. More so, the unfocused script quickly evaporated my minimal expectations. The filmmakers were more focused on showing senseless hacking and slashing instead of creating a true sense of tension in the film.

None of the actors stood out in the acting department. I think the filmmakers should have spent more time in devising a script with engaging characters and a story. The low budget nature of the movie is evident by the CG shots of the train from outside. Not that it is a bad thing since most of the movie takes place inside the cabin car.
