Best Slasher Movies

I missed this one the first time around and I really don’t know how. Midnight Meat Train is an incredible adaptation of another incredible Clive Barker short story.

The people that complain about Midnight Meat Train the most seem to be the ones who don’t like gore. That would pose a serious problem for anyone that watches this film as it is quite gory. There is a lot of blood shed on that creepy train but at the same time, I never felt it was over the top. It was necessary to really show the brutality of our killer (the always amazing Vinnie Jones).

One of the things I liked most about Midnight Meat Train was the setting. It was everything it needed to be. The pacing could be a tad slow at times, but that’s really the only complaint I had. Perhaps it would’ve worked better as a short story, but overall, an excellent movie with great performances by Bradley Cooper and Brooke Shields.

Hellraiser is legendary. It’s unique, original and honestly shocking. It perfectly marries sex, violence and gore without going overboard or relying to heavily on any of those elements. Clive Barker is a man that knows horror (see Candyman for further proof of this). With Hellraiser he has created a horror movie for the ages and a truly evil and horrifying movie icon in Pinhead.

Although Hellraiser is more than gore, there is enough carnage to satisfy even the most depraved blood-luster – and it isn’t your typical, run-of-the-mill, slash with a knife gore. The killing, like the movie itself, is creative.
