November 20, 2011Vinnie Jones is one bloody scary marvel to behold in this update-and-then-some riff offa Hitchcock's Rear Window. While Bradley Cooper is good in the Jimmy Stewart dumbfounded photographer role, he is incapable to deliver the intended twist at the finale.

November 17, 2011Wow this is a really good film, very bloody, very gorey and very well made. The cast are not well known unless you know who Vinnie Jones is hehe everyone is really good in their roles and it really makes for a tense, edge of yr seat ride.
The story starts out as a routine slashe... read more -
October 18, 2011What can I say about this rather interesting film? Well, I was recommended it by one of my friends as a very scary, very violent film, I believed him and decided to rent this film relatively soon after. Unfortunately, the film is not as spectacular as I had hoped...

October 15, 2011A photographer pursues dark subject matter that ultimately leads him on the trail of a psychopath who butchers subway passengers.
Like most slasher films, The Midnight Meat Train is both excessively gory, often to the point of ridiculousness, and devoid of substance. Comp... read more -
July 17, 2011because i've read the original story by clive barker, and my advice is to read barker's story instead. barker's ideas are viscerally stimulating and the choices of his phrases could emulate edgar allan poe. (i mean it!) and his horror always has a profane transcendentalism as if ... read more

June 18, 2011As with many horror movies, it starts of with promise. This one even started off pretty damned good. But in the end, it all went to hell (not in a good way). It went from respectable to total cheese. *sigh* Oh well.

May 11, 2011fb732260458Quite possibly one of the most fucked up movies I've seen in quite a while, The Midnight Meat Train not only has the killer title and the requisite scares and thrills to please almost any horror die-hard, but it's just plain shocking to sit through. Furthermore, the atmosphere it... read more

June 9, 2010Midnight Meat Train is a terrific adaptation from Clive Barker's short story of the same name. The film is vintage Barker. It has everything you'd expect from a Clive Barker story, mind blowing horror, terrific characters and a dark, melancholic atmosphere. Midnight Meat Train is... read more

Rob Nelson, Variety
Before flying off the rails in the final curve, The Midnight Meat Train rolls quite smoothly as a mid-'80s-style psycho-killer thriller a la The Hitcher. Full Review

Anton Bitel, Little White Lies
this devilishly ambiguous thriller leaves viewers to decide whether to take the conventional or the less-traveled tunnel through its narrative network - and the results are a stylishly bloody descent ... Full Review

Nick Schager, Lessons of Darkness
So thoroughly coated in over-the-top blood and guts that even veteran genre fans will likely be astounded. Full Review

Jeffrey M. Anderson, Combustible Celluloid
It's excessively and imaginatively gory, presented in a straightforward manner, but with the slightest hint of a wink. Full Review

Ken Hanke, Mountain Xpress (Asheville, NC)
Midnight Meat Train may be no classic of the genre, but it's certainly a better and more interesting film than most of what passes for horror movies these days. Full Review

Christian Toto, What Would Toto Watch?
Midnight Meat Train brings an unabashed brutality to the horror genre. Full Review

This is the best Clive Barker-inspired movie in a long, long time -- probably since "Hellraiser III" in 1992. Full Review
