In the years since this movie was released, it continuously pops up from time to time as a great movie to see. Seeing Mahogany in his suit carrying a large black bag, sedately traveling along, you couldn’t help but be curious about what he was up to. The lighting used in The Midnight Meat Train perfectly encapsulates the eerie influence the fluorescent bulbs cast on anyone within its reach. This type of scenario automatically places you on guard. Many times I have been alone in a train car or similarly with only one or two other people. I have ridden many a train at night in my youth. Combine that with the jaded gloom of a city under darkness and add the desolate nameless faces on subway trains and you have a stage that could hold any horror movie lover’s attention. His mere presence on-screen is more than enough to exude a menacing feeling to both Leon who is stalking him and to the viewer who is watching. Mahogany played by Vinnie Jones is an excellent antagonist. And a plot that stands up and demands your attention.
If you like tension- sure it’s got that too. The story itself has all the good stuff crammed into it. The lighting and the way the characters are introduced are instantly engaging. It creates a feeling of dread and unease so effortlessly I was in awe of this movie as soon as it began. There are some scenes in “ The Midnight Meat Train” where nothing gets uttered for some time.
