“The Midnight Meat Train” is based on a short from one of Clive Barker’s Books of Blood. The movie studio tried to rename it Midnight Train but Clive stuck to his guns and held out for the original title. The movie is about a photographer who is trying to track down a serial killer on the subway at the insistence of an art gallerist (Brooke Sheilds). He not only catches up with Mahogany, the Subway Butcher, but with a bunch of cannibals as well.

Japanese director Ryuhei Kitamura has expanded on Clive’s short story while keeping the original intent alive. It’s being said that the movie is incredibly gorey as Kitamura was given full creative license. If you’re a fan of horror and like lots of gore this is the perfect film for you.

The Midnight Meat Train stars Bradley Cooper (Wedding Crashers, Failure to Launch), Vinnie Jones(Swordfish, Tooth & Nail), Leslie Bibb(Iron Man), Brooke Sheilds( Blue Lagoon, Endless Love), and Roger Bart( American Gangster, The Stepford Wives) .

The Book of Blood is the next short story of Clive’s that will be adapted to the screen. The word is it’s already shooting.
