Meat Train was Clive Barker?
I honestly had no idea. No wonder that movie's trash.
smh. It’s not bad. A little over-directed. It fits in nicely with the other urban horror stories of his that have been adapted. The visuals for the creatures in the ending weren’t great to me. It was a nice treat.
Hellraiser = Candyman > Midnight Meat Train > Nightbreed

"So like there's this vegan photographer-"
"Uh, OK"
*tokes*
"And like, there's this subway train, that like... kills people"
"Umm..."
*tokes*
"But it's not the TRAIN, it's a guy IN the train. And he wears this suit and he has no tongue. Cause if he did he would talk about his killings-"
"Couldn't he just, like, write them down-"
*tokes*
"But he's killing people to feed these creatures we'll shittily knockoff from The Descent..."
"Why don't we make uhh, something original?"
*tokes*
"And if he doesn't feed them they'll like, escape and wreck the world or some shit. But we'll only ever show like two of them in the whole movie."
"Couldn't the Army easily take care of some backwards creatures from the stone age-"
*tokes*
"ANYWAYS, the photographer, like, he's vegan right? And the whole schtick is feeding human meat to these monsters-"
"Why human meat? Why not breed, like, cows?"
*tokes*
"So as the movie progresses, like, this vegan photographer starts craving meat more and more."
"That's not a bad idea, actually. Does that lead anywhere?"
*tokes*
"Fuck no."
"Oh. Wait, these sound like two almost completely separate movies."
*tokes*
"That's the genius of it! The photographer is dared by some art critic chick to get more 'dangerous' photos, putting him closer and closer to the murdering-butcher-plus-train-and-demons plot!"
"Uhh, I think I should go-"
*tokes*
*inadvertently hotboxes the movie exec*
*movie is made and bombs, making back just 23% of its production budget (not including marketing)*
*clive barker kills himself*
*the world rejoices*
