  • Must Go!

    If you can get to a theater showing this film, GO... absolute must-see for HORROR FANS

    by StealTheNight

    Just wanted to say I just got back from "Midnight Meat Train" and the movie was 5 stars... a really awesome movie, one of the best horror films I've seen in years, and the best movie of the summer.

    A thought provoking, dark, well shot, acted and edited film.

    There was 16 people in the theater for the 7pm showing.

    The guy at the ticket counter said no children would be admitted to the film, and they had 2 employees watching the door to prevent people from sneaking in.

    The movie had a truly f'd up ending, too... I'm going to see it again since I know this probably won't last a week...

    Lionsgate is burying this film!

    So many moviegoers will be unable to view this great movie because of the limited release which it is being put out with. Voice your anger as I did and write to Lionsgate Investor Relations at investorlink@lionsgate.com and executive Joe Drake at jdrake@lionsgate.com and tell them you won't stand for it!

    Midnight Meat Train

    If Leon Kaufman wants to sell his photos to a top art studio he's going to have to get involved in the life of the city, he's going to have to board the midnight meat train.

    Liked this film, it's effective and quite dark. The performances are good but the direction and script is the real star. Particularly the way it slowly pulls you in. It's well paced and quite effective. Not earth shattering but well worth a rent.

    I was quite reticent about going to see this film. I'd set off to see the new bond film but my partnerd up mate had already seen it. It pulled me in, had to give it a chance and ended up enjoying it.

    May not be grade-A prime, but it ain't chopped liver either.

    Film isn't scary, per se, but it's mostly effective nonetheless, with Cooper...
