Plus is got a lot of things going for it that make it a great horror movie.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>In all honestly this movie is really more about the gore than the scares. But the atmosphere of &#8220;Meat Train&#8221; elevates it above the average gore film. To me the movie feels claustrophobic yet epic at the same time. The story has a lot of similar elements to another Clive Barker story, &#8220;Candyman.&#8221; And that&#8217;s not a bad things as we are treated to something very real yet surreal at the same time.<\/p>\n<p>And the blood &#8230; the blood! I really don&#8217;t know that I have ever seen a movie with so much of it. The gore scenes are handled very stylishly and only suffer occasionally from some noticeable CGI. I really would like to see what the &#8220;R&#8221; version of this film was like as the only version out on video is the uncut version.<\/p>\n<p>Speaking of not seeing this in the theater &#8230; it is a real shame that Lionsgate felt the need to bury this film in a second run theater release and then a straight to video release. Especially since dumbed down crap like the remake of &#8220;Friday the 13th&#8221; get such play.<\/p>\n<p>So, get aboard the &#8220;Meat Train&#8221; and take the ride. I dare you!!!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&#8220;The Midnight Meat Train&#8221; is hardcore!
