After screening by Ryuhei Kitamura ( Versus ) newest facility will be one or the other big cities when entering the local U- train more than once worried look over her shoulder. The culprit is the film version Clive Barker's short story Midnight Meat Train from the books of blood . In this the chicken-like butcher Mahogany transformed the New York Metro in a slaughterhouse on wheels. By chance, it is the aspiring photographer Leon on the track. On the hunt for usable recording his debut in a prestigious gallery to cross the paths of the two for the first time then on, Leon delving deeper into research, and even gets his girlfriend in danger.
To Kitamura's Midnight Meat Train been trying a lot in advance. After 2007, a U.S. launch date was announced, Lions Gate lies immediately cancel again, no one really knew whether it would be something Midnight Meat Train . In late summer 2008, the film eventually was still a chance for an American theatrical release, and failed miserably. Both the shifted start date and the flop at the box office does not necessarily speak for the quality of the film. You might say. But the bad omen not true. Midnight Meat Train is a nasty little strip that consistently provides good entertainment. Screenwriter Jeff Buhler has inflated Barker's short story without any major difficulties to feature length. Unnecessary lengths of stay saves the viewer. For this he receives a dense, working atmosphere, the movie from beginning to end with. Reinforcing the positive impression is emphasized by the supercooled shots of the New York Metro. That became Midnight Meat Train despite its pleasant straight-out attitude is not really a shocker is hard to support many of Kitamura's comic-like production. Some scenes are moving but hard on the pain threshold, but are by too excessive splatter deposits and creatively used stylistic devices, such as some unusual Point-of-view settings, back into perspective. The cast is largely convincing. The only criticism is butcher Vinnie Jones. His imposing stature but seems tailor-made for the film, all in all, he has nevertheless an expressive little weak and colorless.
Midnight Meat Train is a film that will not take much to bring out its viewers an entertaining 90 minutes. He manages it very neat. A fact that Kitamura's film ever 80% of today's genre-colleagues has ahead. (8 / 10)
