MIDNIGHT MEAT TRAIN

Synopsis: A serial killer on the Subway system catches the attention of a pretentious photographer. Bloodletting insues.

PROS
The look and feel of the film
The Killer is staggering and brutish
The Kills are fun, gory and brutal
Style in which it is shot does create some suspense
The Rampage Jackson Cameo
Good performance by Vinnie Jones

CONS
No explanation for the supernatural elements
The main character in not that sympathetic
Some of the CGI effects were poor

Final Analysis: This film was definitely style over substance, but being based on a Clive Barker short story doesn’t often create opportunity to elicit depth in an hour and a half. This being a horror/slasher film story should somewhat take the backseat to carnage. Vinnie Jones is quite intimidating and threatening. Ted Raimi is fun for a shortwhile as is Quentin “Rampage” Jackson. I enjoyed it but it was still just a slasher flick with above average kills and creative gore.

Rent it for some fantastic brutality and blood.
