THE MIDNIGHT MEAT TRAIN no stars

There's no denying that for what it is, "The Midnight Meat Train" is actually very well done but I also found this extremely gory American horror film, directed by Japan's Ryuhei Kitamura, to be pretty repulsive. It features a reasonably early Bradley Cooper performance as a New York photographer who becomes obsessed with serial killer Vinnie Jones, whose speciality is butchering people on late night subway trains. Actually the plot hardly matters and it certainly doesn't make much sense; it's just one appallingly violent encounter after another, with a slight twist to divert our attention but then as Jean Brodie might have said, 'For those who like this sort of thing, this is the sort of thing they like'. I don't so this won't be getting any recommendation from me. It's also not a patch on that much less gory but slightly similar British classic, "Death Line".
