When I was a teenager a little over 20 years ago, I paid an astronomical amount of money for the Books Of Blood collection. Sadly, someone borrowed a volume or two and I no longer have the full set. Clive Barker was a large influence in my literary interests, his blending of horror, dark fantasy, and magic has stood out to me over the years. I've always loved his ability to write stories with very different genre styles while able to keep the plot interesting. Unfortunately, I've not watched this film. I now have a goal for this weekend.

"He's leavin' on the midnight meat train to Georgia..."-Gladys Knight

I always just chalked the contrasted ending as the filmmakers focusing more on the human element. That is to say the psychological journey of Leon. It just seemed like they wanted to focus on that part of the story, which admittedly made the creature reveal seem more like a letdown than a shock. But I just think they worked with what they had and had to choose which parts to focus more on. Leon and Mahogany were the focus and that part of the movie really shined. That's my thoughts, anyway.

The many times I've seen this movie in the bargain bin at my local electronics store always made me believe this was just one of the thousands cheap horror slashers from around the time. And honestly, the DVD box didn't make it look any better. I am extremely surprised to now hear that the movie actually isn't just that.

Haven't seen 'Resolution,' what about 'Spring'? Or did he already do that one?

The street photography just brought back a really old but fond memory. Years and years ago, my family was driving through a city. I don't remember where we were going or why, but I do remember my younger sister was in the backseat with our shih tzu, Ollie. He loved to rest his front paws on the open window and look out, and while we were stuck in traffic, a man walking passed suddenly stopped and quickly set up a tripod to take a couple of photos. Ollie has been gone a long time now, but it makes me teary-happy to think that somewhere, a street photographer has an artsy black and white photo of him happily looking out of a car window.

The only reason I saw this movie was because our very immature friend group found phallic comedy in the title. The movie itself though was really good, and actually threw me at the end. I was pleasantly surprised by this one and will probably re-watch it soon.

This is one of those movies that I watched and liked more because it wasn't just a random serial murderer who enjoyed slicing and dicing. It felt it had more purpose to it (even with it being as weak as it ended up being). I like when things are more left to the imagination. As a suggestion, check out The Empty Man.

Just spit-balling, I imagine it would be something between a slasher and psychological horror.

Funny enough, all the week I’ve been recommended this film itself’s recap... and now Ryan reviews this, man I’m impressed

I watched this film fairly recently and really enjoyed it. I like when the protagonist has this slow descent into darkness; especially when it's due to taking their curiosities too far and hesitantly crossing a line (knowing its a point of no return). Leon's literal and psychological descent was just as compelling to me as the mystery of the butcher and the horrors of his world. I personally didn't hate the ending and I feel there was enough there for it to not feel completely out of nowhere. I mean, the whole butcher/train mystery alluded to something clearly going on in the city underbelly and the body horror, overt violence, and atmosphere of the train ride itself didn't make the existence of monsters feel head scratching.

I'm happy you covered this! It's one of my favorite movies. And I personally really enjoyed the 'cosmic' twist at the end. There were enough things that felt 'off' that were slowly introduced throughout the movie that it didn't feel like it was completely out of nowhere, while still being something you couldn't fully know was coming.

The twist where it turns out that the audience is the train itself is pure cinematography.

The film was such a good adaptation that when I re-read the short story I was surprised how different it actually was. It nailed the original's horror while building on it, in the best way.

I only watched it because it kept popping up in KZread "gory movie deaths" compilations and I was intrigued by its weirdness and how stylised and over the top it looked. I was pleasantly surprised by how deep and interesting it turned out to be.

I love how many weird, cool, and even excellent horror movies I've been introduced to since I first subscribed to you Ryan! as well as how often I find refreshing new angles on films I've seen countless times!

I really don't know how this didn't become a modern horror classic. It is so great.

Excellent choice and analysis. This film is a second away from genius. That beheading POV shot - amazing. From the direction, I really expected to hear so much more from this director. Your videos are outstanding, keep up the great work.

As long as you keep covering horror, I’m staying subscribed! On the real, Ryan, I’d love to see you do 1922 (ANOTHER short story/novella turned into a film-this time written by Stephen King).

Hey Ryan - thanks for the thoughtful analysis of Midnight Meat Train. This movie keeps finding new life, fans and audiences. It’s themes are as timeless as the Fathers themselves! Keep up the good work, buddy!

I'm so stoked for this vid!!

The director of this also directed one of my guiltiest pleasures--'No One Lives'. It stars Luke Evans and while it's nothing new or groundbreaking, I really enjoyed it as a fun, mindless movie. Evans is great in it too!

I haven't watched yet and Im already so hype. I forgot this movie, because well, ADHD, and the moment I saw my favorite movie video-essayist covering it, I shouted.

I remember watching this with my wife. We both really enjoyed it until the end. After the final twist I loved it and she thought it was a waste of time.

I owe the Sci-Fi Channel for alerting me to the existence of this movie. Really wish they’d still show films like this.

I really appreciate this review, specifically because I couldn't bring up the movie with my friends who just laugh at the name. I like seeing the decent of the Mc and thought the butcher literally unable to tell his story

The ending to a story is almost just as important as the story itself. So yes, having learned how the original Clive Barker story ended... yeah, the movie has dropped the ball on that one. Cosmic elders are just far more interesting. I lost interest in the film as soon as the generic Descent-esque mutants showed up. I'm a fan of cosmic horror myself specifically because their antagonists/monsters are just so out of the norm and ordinary that makes them unique and refreshing; removing that cosmic element from the equation also removes what makes the story appealing in the first place. Ergo, I'm gonna have to give this film a big "No" and a thumbs down.

That ending killed it for me, it was just too cheesy

Funny story about this movie. I met Bradley Cooper along with Aaron Eckhart and Dax Sheppard in Kuwait during a USO tour in 2009. Nobody was there because apparently, they really were very well known at the time. Aaron Eckhart was just a supporting character in the Dark Knight. Dax Sheppard was more or less no longer in any starring roles. Lastly, Bradley Cooper had just wrapped up filming the Hangover and hadn't yet been released in theaters. I got to have a great, long conversation with them about their past movie roles--Bradley Cooper in Wet Hot American Summer, Dax Sheppard in Idiocracy and Aaron Eckhart in Thank You for Smoking. All favourite films, though not at all blockbusters. I had told Bradley Cooper that I had enjoyed Midnight Meat Train, which to his surprise no one had really seen. He told me that during filming, in a fight scene with Vinnie Jones, he had accidentally punched Jones in the face really hard. And Jones looked at him with the intent of murder, but then took a deep breath had to calm himself down, and just made this evil grinned at him. Cooper and Sheppard had great chemistry together and it was only recently I found out they're very close friends and actually have on film projects together.

You mention the social commentary and like you say, it's a lot more on the nose in the story, where, really, the horror is in the fact that they go out to challenge this deep mystery, that turns out to be the old and powerful killing the young and powerless to literally eat them, lest they do something even worse, with the core horror then being the protagonist becoming a complicit cog in this clearly immoral system. It isn't hard to see how it's really about the horrors of taking part in capitalism really

I was like, 'why don't they just kill the monsters? duh?' but if they were done more like the story I definitely would have loved the sudden turn!

really enjoyed your take on this.

one of your best vids. great film.

Great video as always! I've said this before but your breakdowns are often a better experience than the films themselves. I would honestly love to see your take on The Dead Don't Die by Jim Jarmusch. A really strange film, but really refreshing as it was really refreshing. Great work as always!

I just knew it! I knew some day you'd be talking about Midnight Meat Train.

I did not know this was a Clive Barker adaptation, but that does make sense now! Can’t wait for the office tour, Ryan😉

I was so PUMPED to see this title!!!! I’m a huge Clive barker fan which means I’m used to being let down by the films made from his books🤡 but this wasn’t too bad. Thanks for the vid!!!!
