The Midnight Meat Train

Clicky Here

Looks good IMO, will most likely see it in theaters.

I enjoyed the short story immensely, but Baker's adaptations generally suck alot worse that Kings earlier movie adaptations. I'm still hopeful though. I dont know how many people will like the ending. The trailer is presenting it as a standard serial killer esque movie. The ending will come out of left field for most people. Im betting that any non horror or fantasy fans will appreciate it

I think it will turn out good

that title sounds funny.

It sounds like a name a guy would give his penis as a nickname.

Anyhoo, I saw the trailer when i saw Rambo. It looks half interesting. And cause of that i'll most likely not watch it at all, ever.

hahaha... much like xerxes from "300" nicknamed his penis "divine powers."

"it's not the lash they fear, it's my divine powers..."

saw this one tonight during rsmbo. it looks kinda interesting.

was kind of waiting for someone to give some feedback since it was released in theaters ?

Sounds like a gay black porno.

Has it really already hit theaters?

I've only seen one trailer for this movie and that was nearly three months ago. The only reason i saw the trailer is because i was surfing a horror site and clicked on "BARKERS NEW MOVIE". This movie is not playing at any theaters near me, but it has already been reviewed on rottentomatoes and several sites say it released on the first of august.

If it had released thats bullshit. I saw nothing on this movie.

It's suppose to be very good according to all the reviews I have read, mostly from horror reviewers. Also, hasn't this been moved to HORROR yet...

Me too!

imo, this movie looks dumb.

It's a really good, little horror movie. It's brutal, bloody and intense. THe acting is par and of course the story is obscure. For the most part it is just like Barker's, short story.

Did you watch it?

The whole time I was watching it I was thinking two things. I loved the near 3D blood - it was new and original and looked fairly cool. But I was also thinking how stupid the movie was and plot wise was going nowhere. I'd never read the short story before so didn't know what to expect, but when the 'twist' finally came, it made it a pretty interesting story.

Overall its nothing special but worth watching for sure.

I just saw this, I enjoyed the film. Only negatives was the rubbish CGI effects for the gore in some scenes(example, when he hit that Asian girl in the head with the mallet, terrible) and the very end scene. The atmosphere was spoilt by the guy who has taken over Jones character's role looking back at the screen right at us suddenly, they should have followed him and then the camera follows him choosing a seat to sit on and then it focuses slowly in on his face. That would have been a perfect end shot.

I will watch it based on title alone. Yummy!

I forgot to ask, does anyone know if Clive Barker has had health problems, like a stroke. Because I watched him in the DVD extras and his speech didn't seem normal.

I always talk funny with a dick in my mouth.

I watched most of it and enjoyed it a lot. I'll probably buy it when I find it cheaper.

I saw this awhile back. The movie was pretty boring to me and the end was just plain stupid... stupid fat-bellied subterranean aliens, not to mention how predictable the whole "good guy" turns bad in the end thingy was. Also why the hell did the butcher guy have those genital wart looking things all over his body?

Barker had polyps in his throat and had it removed. He was also a heavy smoker. I think I read somewhere he gave it up.


I read the short story (first story in the Books of Blood volume 1) and I liked it. It was, of course, not the best of the lot, but entertaining. The movie, however, I did not hate, but didn't really like it either.
I was thinking they would show the ultimate being Kaufman sees after he kills the butcher, not just those beings that eat the meet. I think it would have been nice to show that the beings could indeed speak, had voice and ''reason'' if you wish, and that they also did not enjoy eating raw flesh, but that's the only way they can survive., but I am sure in terms of visual and movie it may have not really worked.
