Comments: The Midnight Meat Train was one of the more stylistic and interesting horror films I've watched recently. The biggest complaint I had however was the massive amount of CGI blood and gore. Nothing makes a horror film more crappy looking than fake shiny blod and other body parts flying off a body in slow motion. Luckily, there was a bunch of more realistic looking gore (including some cringe-worthy scenes where teeth and fingernails are removed). The film has a strange resolution, one which is explained yet out of the blue considering the rest of the film. But, as a whole, The Midnight Meat Train is an enjoyable gore film and a nice addition to the horror genre.
