10 Awesome Slasher Films You've Probably Never Seen
4. The Midnight Meat Train
Oh, the Midnight Meat Train. A little apart from these other slashers too, as it involves a man chasing a serial killer, rather than a serial killer chasing a band of hapless teenagers, but theres a fair amount of slashing, so well live. Starring Vinnie Jones and Bradley Cooper (yes, really!), the Midnight Meat Train is based on a Clive Barker story about a photographer (Cooper) who becomes obsessed with a serial killer that kills his victims on the subway. He suspects the butcher Mahogany, whom he then starts to follow, which, as you probably already know because you have a glimmer of common sense in you, is a really damn idiotic idea. His obsession starts to grow darker as the killings continue, upsetting his girlfriend Maya, who he starts to become violent and really creepy towards. Youd expect from Clive Barker that it would get a bit weird, and a bit weird they definitely get. Spoilers be not here, but the twist is something that a thousand monkeys with a thousand typewriters couldnt have cooked up. Whether this is a good or bad thing is debatable, but its certainly unexpected. You never can tell whats happening in the subway at night, can you?
