Last night in front of Rambo we saw a trailer for a serial killer flick about a guy who slaughters people on trains. He kills them like cattle with blunt trauma. The movie looked pretty good until they flashed the title:

"Midnight Meat Train"

Any suspense generated by the trailer went up in smoke as the whole theatre went into hysterics.

Who the hell thought this title would be a good idea??????

Clive Barker- it's based on his story of the same name. Why they didn't change the title for the movie, I have NO idea.

Wikipedia says the writer wanted to change it because he thought it sounded like gay porn, but Clive Barker threw a fit until he agreed to keep the title the way it was.

I'm gonna guess here and say that none of you have ever read Clive Barker's BOOKS OF BLOOD, where the original story comes from. It's certainly a highlight of the books and the movie looks about exactly what I'd expect of it.

This should be the best Barker adaptation since HELLRAISER.

Get your minds out of the gutter... SHIT! I can't believe I'M saying that.
