Summary of The Midnight Meat Train

When struggling photographer Leon Kaufman (Bradley Cooper) meets the owner of a prominent art gallery, he sees a chance for the success that has, so far, eluded him. Determined to show the darker side of humanity for his debut showing, Leon crosses paths with Mahogany (Vinnie Jones) a serial killer who preys on late-night subway commuters. His fascination with Mahogany pulls him -- and his lover (Leslie Bibb) -- deep into an evil abyss.

Critics Reviews

Variety
Film isn't scary, per se, but it's mostly effective nonetheless, with Cooper capably steering his character from charming young artist to nervous wreck, evoking Ralph Fiennes' more unhinged turns along the way.

Users Reviews

This would have been, hands-down, the best horror movie I had ever seen until the last ten minutes of the movie ruined everything. The movie had everything that the majority of horror movies lack - good acting, a deep, complex, and well-thought out...
Lost interest 3/4 of the way through.
4/10 Had the potential to be a great slasher movie. But then it went in a whole different direction and just left me confused. It wasn't scary, the gore was more amusing than sickening and I did not need to see Leslie Bibb get bent over a counter...
Likely to see
Not for me
