Installed this channel to test. Looks broken. You are correct - it is missing a button to actually launch the content.
I don't see a way to contact the developer of this channel. (Moturoais Corporation) other than some email address in their privacy policy related to INC Studios. (https://incmotionpictures.com/privacy-policy-2/).
Could be this channel is just undergoing some development or having an issue so developer simply removed the Play button temporarily. (looks like launched new version Aug.15, 2022)

Does anyone know what is going on with the following channels that no longer work on Roku and or state that they are "temporary off the air"? Pulp Action, Shivers TV, Dread TV, Grindhouse Grit 22, Independent INC and Free Grindhouse videos? There were another 4 or 5 that I've deleted that had the same issue but have left these ones up hoping that they would come back online. I've tried to contact a couple of these channel operators but with no response. Others have NO way of contacting them.
There have been issues with a lot of the horror channels this year. American Horror's stated their server went down. B-zone went off line and are now back but not the same as before. They have "hinted" that something happened with ROKU's end but have not expand on that.
I'm surprised that no one has commented on these channels and I find it hard to believe, I'm the only one watching them

Hi 33sarge,
Thank you for posting.
Kindly try to perform the correct sequence to reboot this channel by removing the channel, restarting the device, and adding the channel. You can also try to check for the channel's update by clicking the star button on your remote. If the issue remains unresolved, we'd really recommend keeping in touch with the provider directly to report the issue and request additional support. Many channels on the Roku platform are developed and maintained by the channel provider, and they can best assist.
This support article explains why an app is no longer available on the Roku streaming device.
Feel free to let us know if you have other inquiries.
Thanks,

Grindhouse grit sounded familiar so I searched and found this.

That was over a year ago. My guess would lead towards: It's gone.
