| #1 Posted on 26.1.08 0843.15 Reposted on: 26.1.15 0843.29 | 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?????? Promote this thread! | | CxMorgado

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. | Cerebus

| #5 Posted on 27.1.08 1423.32 Reposted on: 27.1.15 1424.31 | 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.
