Movie Info
When struggling photographer Leon Kaufman (Bradley Cooper) meets the owner of a prominent art gallery, he sees a chance for the success that has, so far, eluded him. Determined to show the darker side of humanity for his debut showing, Leon crosses paths with Mahogany (Vinnie Jones) a serial killer who preys on late-night subway commuters. His fascination with Mahogany pulls him -- and his lover (Leslie Bibb) -- deep into an evil abyss.

Easily the best adaptation of Barker's story since Hellraiser, Midnight Meat Train combined the talent of Cooper with director Kitamura to create a truly scary experience. The violence was rather campy in the film, the CGI was also excessive, but there were some truly amazing camera-works rarely seen in films these days to balance the short comings.

Insanely beautiful and beautifully insane. One of the better horror films I've seen come out in the past couple of years, finally a new suspense thriller that's worth watching. Most certainly not flawless, but totally awesome. The gore is fantastic (with the exception of the one or two CGI parts) and the cinematography fucking blew me away. The acting was solid although some of the characters were a tad annoying, not that there were many of them though. Seriously, there was only about six characters all up and most of them don't do a lot of talking. Vinnie Jones as Mahogany (above) was a brilliant choice, and Bradley Cooper gave a crazy good portrayal of Leon Kaufman. I'm sure that the films climax would be difficult for a lot of people to swallow, and I'd be pretty inclined to agree with them. There's a few things that aren't really explained and a few more that just weren't explained that great, but all in all I was wholeheartedly impressed with Meat Train. The gore would be too much for a lot of people to handle, but don't assume that due to the name it's a splatter fest. It's a great production of Clive Barker's mentally harrowing work, the psychological aspect of a film will always outweigh blood and guts in my mind, providing it's done well, which Meat Train most certainly does. -Gimly

If you've seen your fair share of Japanese horror films, you'd know this film had a Japanese or J-inspired director during the first death scene, as it achieves to be both extremely cheesy and repulsively disturbing. While plot is something that's usually lost on horror films, again, the Japanese don't seem to have trouble with this either; they find a plot and build up evidence to a climax... Same idea here. The scenes make sense and go together well... It's not just a bunch of filler based around one vague idea. My gripe with this film comes in with the ending of this film, it's terrible! But then, it may just be another reason why this film has great potential in one day becoming a cult classic!

Interesting and sometimes clever film that takes a slasher film concept and turns it into something else entirely. This is much better than expected but the ending doesn't add up, I've tried working it out but the motivations aren't clear. The film is not for the faint of heart and it's really in your face from the beginning. As horror films go, this has atmosphere and an engaging cast of characters but I'm not completely sold on the final third but maybe it might change with another viewing.
