midnight meat train

this movie is exactly what you'd expect it to be.

From start to finish there's a soul train of black guys fucking each other in the ass. Hence the title. Whoahohoho!

Seriously though. This is a horror/slashed/gorefest based on a Clive Barker story. Connie Jones is a typical bad guy but this time he's armed with a fifty four pound solid steel hammer that he uses to literally pulverize peoples heads with. The ultra gory scenes are really good. It is obviously digitally done for the blood effects but it looks cool as hell when you see an eyeball pop out of a head or a bullet explode a cranium.

The story is simple enough. Aspiring photographer possibly catches a butcher in a picture the night a model he saved from a mugging disappears. Typical fare afterwards with him stalking the butcher taking pictures, doing hours of research on the butcher and missing people all while letting his relationship with his small breasted bitch fall apart.

Decent enough fare. Some parts with some solid suspense and a what exactly is going on with his stockpile of bodies on the meat train. Personally for my horror tastes I prefer realistic stuff going on that can legitimately be taking place like the entire movie up till that point. Once it goes into other territory it loses it's punch for me but it works for the movie. Either way it's worth checking out definately. It's a shame of wasn't released in theatres like it was supposed to be, but that's what happens when you don't have quality characters like "Paris Hilton look alike" in a movie like Meet the Spartans.

Quick review of THAT movie that I was unfortunate enough to sit through. It's worse than Charlie and the Chocolate Factory and I despise that movie

Meet The Spartans creators can fuck themselves
