o blessed the jhorror, finally making a clive barker film.


Finally i saw the film that mark the best of horror that can afford in the summer. there that many film that deserve a wide release, like certain one that i know(Repo). I dont understand what made this didn't. With great shot, great story and sunpense, this film is a must to all horror and Clive baker fan. What interesting is directed by the man that brought the grudge one and the follow up, with everything that i said, the movie is a gore venture:
Leon Kauffman(Bradley Kooper) is a struggling photographer in New york, living in a partment with her girlfriend Maya(Leslie Bibb). And living with a picture on everyday, but having them in display in one of famous gallery of the city, a rejection is not option for him. So one night he go out to take some photo of the citizen that live the night, but when he save a girl from some gangsters in the subway, later discovering of her disappearance's on the morning paper. Intrigue he head to the subway every night, and always seen the same tall, silent, Irish looking man (Vince Jones)carrying he black bag, and always taking the midnight train. following him, he discover he's a butcher working in a slaughterhouse, but when the meat is done is time for some victim to hang. Taking Leon to a dark obsession in the metro, where he's art of taking photo is. But when Maya is in the picture, it become desperate matter, to save her. Get off the next station and don't ride the next one, when the hammer is on you.
Vince Jones is the best darkest, and scariest tall guy since Jason. With great acting Lock and stock, to one of my fav horror fest film 07 Tooth n nail. This British actor, also made the X-men 3 fun with he's famous phase "I m the juggernaut ·$%&/". Bradley, made this picture even more suspenseful, with he's curiosity that take him the same way to Neil in the Mouth of madness.
The shot are one the best in the film, specially when it come to final stand off. the Effect look cheesy not so Hollywood, but it work, some of the resolution shot work, when Leon follow him to the slaughterhouse, Hitchcock would been proud.
Now the gore that is where the money is. I'm wont hide it some it seem kind off Campy, when it came to the hammer shot to Sam Raimi(yes the director of spider man one) and the eye balls come out. that's was little ridiculous. But when it come to the stripping, that were the disgusting come to full gore. Most of the killing are made with the hammer that really give to the premise to the film, and is great that someone is using it, cause not since leatherface made his film debut, but just hammering he's first victim.
This film would half been in my top ten films of the summer. Period. So Liongate try to have shame on ya, from hiding a great horror film, that only Ryuhei Kitamura can do. Proving my theory that never doubt the jap when it come making great gore film example Battle Royale(damn you new line when are you making the remake).
So this is must when it come to great story line, and whole of suspense. You just got get up, and look for it anywhere you can. Cause film like this deserve the much attention than any Barbara Walter special. Period.
