Night Train Murders 50th Anniversary Edition by 88 Films

Night Train Murders, a compelling and controversial piece from director Aldo Lado, sees its 50th anniversary celebrated with a meticulous 4K Blu-ray release by British distributor 88 Films. Scheduled for a market release on April 25, 2025, this edition revives the chilling narrative that captivated audiences with its vivid depiction of horror and psychological terror.

Originally released in 1975, Night Train Murders, also known as Last Stop on the Night Train, was initially banned by the BBFC but eventually became a pivotal exploitation classic. The movie confronts viewers with a relentless tale of terror endured by two young girls amid a festive backdrop, illustrating stark contrasts that elevate its gritty, formidable impact.

The anniversary edition enhances the film’s dark allure through an authentic restoration from the original camera negative, presenting it in Dolby Vision/HDR quality.
