Midnight Meat Train

This is the movie I picked to start off my October Challenge. It's about a photographer (Bradley Cooper) who is pushed into getting pictures of the dark side of the city, and he quickly gets tangled up in the exploits of a madman (Vinnie Jones) who butchers people on the... midnight meat train.

It held my interest for most of the movie. It dabbles in a cat and mouse game with some super gore scenes, because this is based on a Clive Barker story. There are plenty of tense scenes throughout the movie, and Vinnie Jones plays the menacing villain quite well. I'm sure he had a lot of fun doing it, but dare I say... I probably would have enjoyed the movie a bit more if it ended about 10 minutes sooner. In the end, it gets a bit too Clive-Barkery, if that makes any sense. Not the worst ending, but it left me kind of stoic. Worth watching for the gross-out scenes.
