An ambitious art photographer (Bradley Cooper) is trying to capture the darkness, sleaziness or the disturbing sights of New York City by taking photos of strangers. But he has an eye on a mysterious butcher (Vinnie Jones), who takes the subway after midnight. But the photographer realized that one of the strangers, he took a picture of... is missing. Also the butcher was on the subway, when the person was last seen. But there's more than meets the eye of this butcher and the photographer tries to uncover the truth before it is too late.
Directed by Ryuhei Kitamura made an stylish brutal horror film with some effective moments. Cooper and especially Jones are good in their roles. It is sad that "Lionsgate" didn't bother to market this movie well. I think this movie could have had something at the box office but for sure... it would do well, once it is released on Blu-ray/DVD. This film is based on a short story by Clive Barker (Hellraiser, Lord of Illusions, Nightbreed), which Barker is one of the film's producers. "The Midnight Meat Train" is a surprisingly good movie... even during the bizarre (unexpected) third act. Which it might turn-off some viewers. This is certainly one of the most underrated horror movies of 2008. Actor:Fisher Stevens is one of the executive producers. Ted Raimi appears in a cameo. Super 35. (****/*****).
