Photographer tracks down subway serial killer.
Midnight Meat Train (Ws Sub Ac3 Dol Dts) [Blu-ray] Reviews By Customers
A photographer stumbles upon the subway to Hell while trying to capture the dark heart of the city on film. He discovers that it harbors a passenger that mercilessly slaughters its riders on the late train, and begins following the killer in order to get that perfect shot… MIDNIGHT MEAT TRAIN is a welcome surprise which is sure to shock even hardened Horror fans with its brutal violence and explicit gore. While MMT receives its harshest criticisms based on its heavy reliance on computerized effects, the stylized gore is superbly handled, with every blood spatter strictly planned in advance for maximum effect. Kitamura brings a fresh, modern shooting style that is clean, unique, and highly energetic. Actor Vinnie Jones’ chilling performance as the silent butcher Mahogany makes for one of the most memorable Slashers in recent film. The way he subtly beckons Leon to follow him and participate in his sinister calling gives his character a depth and personality without the benefit of speech. The utilization of a cool color palette gives the entire film the look and feel of a meat locker: both cold and sterile. MIDNIGHT MEAT TRAIN goes far beyond the confines of a standard Slasher entry, and delivers something wholly original and deathly terrifying!

I Like Horror Movies
This is not for the kiddies! – William B – Bangkok Thailand
I just got this and had seen it before. Now I can not find it, oh I will.
Now if you like truly gory and scary movies this one delivers. Strong acting all around. The butcher is one evil hombre. Could use stronger words but not here. Hold on to your seats, even the wife pulled up her blanket with this thriller.
Over-loaded with CG gore and despair. – Kevin F. Tasker – Athens, Ohio
The Midnight Meat Train is a dark, humorless humdinger of a film with a final 10 minutes that you may or may not see coming. The film is crispy shot and edited (props to the overall competence behind the camera). The acting is pretty good as well. In fact, I found myself jiving along to the atmospheric ride for most of the way. The plot details a photographer’s obsession with finding out the identity of a strange butcher who happens to spend his nights smacking in skulls on the titular train. Bradley Cooper (of Wedding Crashers and the Hangover fame) is pretty likable as Leon, even after he starts his transformation about halfway into the movie. Things take some strange turns, and he grows less likable. The movie delves into bleak territory pretty head-on, don’t expect a happy ending. I don’t really have a problem with this, coming from Clive Barker. What did stick out was the use of CG Gore to show people’s eyeballs popping out, etc. These effects could have been handled practically (see DEAD ALIVE-the best gore film ever made) for greater impact. As it is, under the blue filter, these scenes seem out of video-game territory. Otherwise a decent horror ride with Vinnie Jones giving an alright turn as the butcher.

Patrick Bateman (Christian Bale) is a Wall Street yuppie, obsessed with success, status and style, with a stunning fiancee (Reese Witherspoon). He is also a psychotic killer who rapes, murders and dismembers both strangers and acquaintances without provocation or purpose. Based on the controversial novel, the film offers a sharp satire to the dark side of yuppie culture in the ’80s, while setting forth a vision that is both terrifying and chilling.
American Psycho [Blu-ray] Reviews By Customers
Lions Gate pulled no punches when They Re-Released
American Psycho on the HD Format
The Transfer is FLAWLESS it “Snaps, Crackles & Pops”
They took all the extras from The Killer Collector’s Edition Including putting the UNCUT NC-17 Version on BR
One minus is
The American Psycho: From Book to Screen featurette wasn’t brought over from the DVD (Which sucks)
That Featurette is great and adds allot of dimensions to the Film.
The Film is in League with Night of the Living Dead, Dawn of the Dead, The Crazies, They Live, Requiem for a Dream, District 9, Watchmen, and George Orwell’s 1984 Novel
There is such a HUGE Social Commentary through out the film it’s deep and insightful.
It’s a Must see Dark Masterpiece
WARNING: Adults Only
If u have kids make sure they don’t see it
It will Freak ‘em out if they see Batman Nude with a Chainsaw going Nuts!!!!!!!
A Great Film for some BAD Nightmares!
It’s A Must have Blu-Ray Disc 9.7/10

My Bloody Valentine 3D [Blu-ray] Reviews By Customers
One reviewer said there was not any big names in this movie..SORRY but Jensen Ackles from Supernatural is plenty big enough for me. I was truly amazed at the quality of 3D, never thought I would live long enough to see this on a TV. Several people have watched it and I love watching them dodge the pickax..fun. Now I need to find more 3D BD movies. I am going to see Avatar and hope it comes out in 3D BD. If I was just giving a rating on the 3D quality it would have gotten 5 stars, but as a movie in general just a 3, so I split the difference and give it a 4. Check Save Price!
At Least the 3D was Cool – Inept Editor – New York, NY
Not since Friday the 13th Part 3 have I remembered so vividly a 3D horror movie. Now, with the release of a My Bloody Valentine remake in 3D, Lionsgate raises the bar, at least in production value.
When I first heard that My Bloody Valentine was being refilmed, I thought to myself, “Huh?” I had never seen the original, so it took a bit of research to find out what the movie was all about.
Apparently in the original , directed by George Mihalka, a disgruntled miner named Harry Warden(played by Peter Cowper) goes on a killing spree, killing fellow miners by cutting out their hearts. Cutting to present day, a group of teenagers get the bright idea to hold a Valentine’s Day party in the mine where the murders took place. It proves to be a fantastic idea, as the party-goers are dispatched one by one. Is Harry Warden back from the dead with his trusty miner’s helmet? Possibly. The movie was reminiscient of those good old 80s slasher movies that we all loved. It was filmed in Canada(how about those Canucks?), and had 19 minutes of edited footage that was cut due to excessive gore, which was only included recently in a re-release by Lionsgate.
Now, Harry Warden is back. AGAIN. Lionsgate revisited the sleepy mining town of terror by recreating the movie, but this time in 3D. And that is where the story goes bad.
The original storyline is well intact. We have the flashback of Harry Warden(now played by Rich Walters) going crazy in a hospital a year after the original mining incident, which we never see but are told was a “mining accident”. We also don’t know why he started killing everybody. We can only guess it has to do with some workers union disagreement. What we do know is that he returns to the mines after leaving the hospital, and happens on a group of teenagers who got the bright idea to hold a Valentine’s Day party in the mine where the accident took place. After dispatching many of the teenagers, Harry Warden attacks Tom Hanniger(played by Jensen Ackles), but is held off by the police, who apparently shoot and kill Warden, and Tom is left a gibbering idiot.
Ten years later, Tom Hanniger returns to take over the mining company after the death of his father(this fact was left out until now) after being in a mental institution. When he arrives, murders begin. Is Harry Warden back from the dead? Probably. Slasher stars never stay down for long(see Jason Voorhees, Freddy Kreuger, Michael Myers, etc.). The town thinks Tom is responsible. Tom isn’t so sure(obviously.) The hunt ensues to uncover the truth, before the whole town ends up dead, or the mine is sold to Germans.
The Good: My Bloody Valentine is brutal in the gore factor. It’s in 3D, and not like Friday the 13th Part 3. The theater gave us these big Buddy Holly glasses, and I’m glad I kept mine on. When a woman gets half her head severed with a shovel, and the 3D has the head slide forward at you, that’s good use of 3D. When a miner throws a pick-axe from fifty yards away straight at the audience, and it sticks into a car’s windshield, that’s good use of 3D. This movie played the 3D card for every grisly scene, as well as they should. There wasn’t much else holding this movie together. Besides the drunken old men playing caricatures of old mining men.
The Bad: Everything else. The storyline was annoyingly vague, which doesn’t work too well with a basic slasher movie. It’s as if the movie is meant to be watched after seeing the original to get the storyline straight. I hadn’t seen the original at the time, so I was stuck. The twist ending made me, and half the theater, throw up their arms in anguish, since it wasn’t suspenseful so much as, “So wait, why did this all happen?” Granted, it’s a slasher movie, but usually a storyline of “killer on the loose” doesn’t have so many scenes that you look back on and scratch your head about.

better than the original – horror fan – U.S.
I never thought much of the original other than it was a typical cookie-cutter slasher flick, so when I saw the remake, I wasn’t expecting much at all. Well, aside from the ending (which I won’t spoil) I loved this flick. It was a throwback to ’80s slashers. It had great gore, female nudity, and lots of action. I recommend this movie to any ’80s slasher fan.
