Night Train Murders 4K UHD (1975) [88 Films]

[dallywhitty]

88 Films are releasing former video nasty Night Train Murders (aka Late Night Trains) on UHD in May 2025 as part of their Italian Collection.

Originally banned in 1976 by the BBFC and a few years later becoming one of the original casualties of the infamous Video Nasties hysteria, Night Train Murders AKA Last Stop on the Night Train is still a forceful and challenging picture. It focuses on two young girls who experience a journey of unimaginable terror at the hands of deranged psychos as they journey between Germany and Italy. Violent and thanks to its hugely controversial content, the movie is still highly regarded as an exploitation classic. Using the dark terror of the young girls’ torment it juxtaposes it with the season of goodwill which makes the situation even more unbearable. Visually raw and uncompromising, this is one ride you’ll never forget.

I'm having this.

Hats off to 88 for storming furiously down this path, for genre fans. Once again, 88 Films and Severin are running the same path, neck and neck, scrambling to roll out the same vintage horror/slasher/zombie/exploitation titles in uhd, at almost break-neck speed. I'm loving the competition, and the options it's creating for fans and collectors. And once again, may the best disc win!!!!

Seeing films like Rats and Night Train Murders score a 4k release, I'm more and more hopeful that some mid-tier Fulci such as Zombi 3 might make its way to uhd soon......

Zombi 3 must be on its way, and it'll be a day one purchase from me. Pure, unadulterated cinema.

HELL YES! Absolutely adore this movie. I’ve been trumpeting this as my most-wanted Blue Underground upgrade for years, but I’m very happy to take it from 88 instead.

Edit: Just saw this is coming from Severin too, so I guess I’ll probably get that one.

[OgamiittoMcJ]

given the amount of delays to 88's titles
this should be out around the summer or autumn next year lol

would be nice to hear if they got any other ones Severin has announced like Rats etc

[Krynoid-Man]

Nice. I still only have the old Shameless DVD, so a definite buy for me.

Perfect for family viewing! Amuse your in-laws!

This really throws a spanner in the works - do I overpay and get the deluxe edition from Severin which includes the Morricone CD (a big bonus for me) or wait for what is quite possibly a better encode (?) from 88 at some point down the line?

I would wager 88's UHD is very early in the works which is why they just bunged the blu sleeve in a black 4K box on Instagram to minimise losing sales to Severin.

I have a feeling 88 will do their usual additional cleanup and color correction for this.
