MIDNIGHT MEAT TRAIN

Recommended. How this movie came on and off screens unnoticed I don't understand. After several films filled with senseless gore finally one on the par with "Hostel". Every take in this film is a visual and sound masterpiece. The suspense is hardly bearable. I was biting my lips all the time. Based on a short story by Clive Barker (of "Hellraiser" fame) and with, surprisingly, Brooke Shields, in one of the roles, it's a real treat. Dark, stylish, with some good twists of action and, above all, scenes of sheer brutality. A black guy in khaki clothes sitting in the far corner watched me in a creepy way when I was reading the credits (just giving you his description in case I go missing).
