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... Read more at imdb.com

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... Read more at imdb.com

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.
