Horrifyingly gruesome

THE short story, The Midnight Meat Train, by Clive Baker (from his Books Of Blood anthology) has been put together by the incredibly creative visual director Ryuhei Kitamura.

The cinematic result of the same name was enough to keep me glued to the seat till the end. No popcorn needed.

The story revolves around a photographer (played by Bradley Cooper) trying to capture New York City’s dark side for an exhibition.

Unknowingly, his photos track down a subway serial killer who stalks late-night commuters and butchers them.

As you see The Butcher (Vinnie Jones) hacking away his victims, you can almost taste the blood in your mouth. The visual effects are that good.

The special makeup effects were created by Oscar winner Matthew Mungle (Bram Stoker’s Dracula, Schindler’s List).

This film is a must-see for horror film fans.
