In this dark and dangerous Film Noir-meets-German Expressionism directorial
debut from veteran visual effects man Les Bernstien, paunchy ex-con Joe Butcher
(John Voldstad of The Newhart Show) heads South of the Border, tumbling head
first into the boiling vat of corruption that supports Tijuana’s thriving
snuff film industry. Through a booze-induced haze, Butcher encounters a Mexican
spitfire, a grizzled drunk, a villainous dwarf and an obese sexpot, as he
frantically retraces his brother’s final steps through seed and grime, to
unravel his mysterious death.
Lavishly shot in black and white with great visual stylization, Night Train
is “…the most boldly evoked vision imaginable of Tijuana as
hell-on-earth…unique and compelling…” (Los Angeles Times); Night Train is
a must-see for fans of gritty motion pictures like Murder is My Beat, Kiss Me
Deadly and Blood Feast.
Lauded at festivals around the world (including Best Director and Best
Cinematography awards at the 20th Oporto International Film Festival in
Portugal), Night Train has continued the circuit pulling in rave reviews and
invitations for premieres in Spain, Italy, Czech Republic, Germany, Sweden,
Korea, Canada, Greece, Mexico and even Los Angeles, California.
