I don't even know where to begin with this movie... more tension and gore than I've seen in quite some time! This movie came from the mind of my FAVORITE director, Clive Barker! What a great movie. The movie starts of with a gory train scene and never really lets up. The premise of the movie seems to be about a serial killer who does his work on a subway train after midnight. Vinnie Jones plays the killer and is awesome in this movie. His presence is powerful and very creepy. We are shown a photographer who is struggling to make ends meet while his girlfriend works as a waitress in a diner. You feel for the two of them and find yourself pulling for them to succeed. The photographer ends up following the killer and captures his killing on film. There is a great twist at the end that puts everything in perspective. I highly recommend watching this movie for all horror/gore fans. It isn't killing for the sake of killing... there is a purpose. Great movie! Check out the trailer below and rent this movie!
