Review of The Midnight Meat Train (2008) by Thomas H — 12 Jan 2010

A first hear of this film you wouldn?t think Vinnie Jones would fit into a horror film as villain, you would probably find it hard to take him seriously. Surprisingly he fit perfectly into the role and as the film progresses you almost want him to get away with all bad deeds he is doing.

The film has so much gore and almost unrealistic murders it has a slapstick element which is emphasised as soon as you see a cameo role by Ted Rami in which his eyes pop out due to a hit on the back of the head with a hammer. This style worked perfectly and it has so much blood you can defiantly see the influence from the original book by Clive Barker which is made even more so apparent when the twist ending comes into play.
