Creepy and Interesting!

I waiting to see this movie for months and now, I finally did and I say Director Ryuhei Kitamura directed a very creepy, disgusting, and interesting horror movie. I would have to say that Clive Baker's short story about a mute... Full review
MMT is exactly what the title implies - fast and brutal

There's something deeply disturbing about the 'show biz' politics and intrigues that managed to exile such a well made film to the 'dollar theaters'. On the other hand, horror purists of all calibre will probably get a kick out of seeing... Full review
Literally, the worst film I have seen for years.

Wow, how bad can it get. This was seriously bad. Not in terms of the gore - which was mainly laughable CGI - but in acting, atmosphere and direction. The story was dreadful - the character arc of the main lead... Full review

I love Clive Barker and his mad visions, and I sure did love this movie too. It isn't haunting horror like the Shining or Ringu, but it is nice little slaughterfest. Some of you will not like the CGI-gore but it... Full review

Do not bother to waste your money on this movie. Do not even go into your car and think that you might see this movie if any others do not appeal to you. If you must see a movie this weekend,... Full review
Clive Barker's more sanguinary inclinations are paid tribute here through a hulking golem, a malevolent meat merchant in his dapper best, named Mahogany (Vinnie Jones) who smashes, eviscerates and cleaves through unsuspecting commuters on the last train home. Adapted from Barker's... Full review

Given that this month's the Lunar Seventh Month where the Chinese believe that spirits roam our world as their month long vacation from purgatory, my friend has so far kept this running joke about my unfortunate bumping into them given I... Full review

Based on a recommendation from the Podcouch Film podcast (and an unhealthy obsession with Clive Barker) I drove quite a ways to see this film. Strange that they're the only ones reviewing this movie; I mean, even metacritic hasn't assigned it... Full review

I just saw this movie at the $1.50 theaters- pretty good deal for movie this good. But, it deserved a wide release in large-screen theaters It's one of the best horror films released recently, many times better than any of the... Full review

I saw this movie just now at a local discount theater, and I certainly can't say that I wanted my dollar back. The worst thing a horror film can be is boring, and Midnight Meat Train is never dull. Neither is... Full review

The Midnight Meat Train is a welcome return to the root of Barker's bloody success....Mahogany (sounds like agony) is a silent hulking brute and in other hands they'd give him all sorts of quips and funny lines..... ... Full Review
