Road Train Converts To Road Kill for a North American Release

Lightning Entertainment picked up the Australian road movie Road Train back in 2009; now, this distribution company has renamed the film Road Kill for North American audiences and released a second trailer for the film, which shows the truck's deadly cargo. This feature will be a part of the Fangoria Frightfest along with several other films beginning in June of this year and Frightfest includes Pig Hunt, Fragile, Grimm Love, Dark House, Hunger, The Haunting, and The Tomb. Have a look at the latest for Road Kill with this clip in which more of the film's gruesome stylings are displayed.

The synopsis for Road Kill here:

"Four young friends on a camping adventure in outback Australia are run off the road by an erratically driven road train - a massive three-trailer truck. With their own vehicle wrecked, and the road train stopped, the friends march off to remonstrate with the drivers. But mysteriously, there is no one to be found. Suddenly, the silence is broken by the sound of gunshots. A distant figure in the bush screams and runs towards them. Have they become witnesses to a murder? There’s no time to discuss it. The friends commandeer the road train. The next town is only three hours away. But the next town is somewhere they will never reach. And what they discover inside the vehicle’s trailers proves more terrifying than anything out there on that lonely road" (Lightning).
