Il killer della metropolitana

It was a shame that this was dumped to direct to video by Lions gate. I remember seeing a trailer for it at the theater when watching another movie. Although it didn't get the theatrical run it deserved, The Midnight Meat train is a fantastic adaptation of a short story by Clive Barker. Japanese director Ryuhei Kitamura did a nice job in his American debut. This is a very original story that was executed well on the big screen. The film was nicely shot, well acted with lots of gore and nice atmosphere. Bradley Cooper gives a really strong early performance as the lead and Vinny Jones was fantastic as the iconic butcher Mahogany. This is a pretty dark and disturbing horror flick that is very brutal, but still comes across as a classy production. Some of the CG effects are a little cringeworthy, but as a whole this film looks great and is massively underrated in my opinion.
