, and Brooke Shields
. Its script was adapted by Jeff Buhler, the producer was Tom Rosenberg

ed man stalks
the late-night passengers of a subway
train. He kills several people with a meat hammer
and a meat hook
. He dispatches his prey with unnatural strength. He wears a ring
on his finger, adorned with an eight-pointed star. The film then introduces Leon (Bradley Cooper
), a photographer who heads into the city's subway system at night to take photographs, and saves a woman from a group of guys harassing her. The next day, he discovers the girl has gone missing. Leon is intrigued and begins to investigate newsreel
s about similar disappearances. His investigation leads him to a butcher named Mahogany (Vinnie Jones
), whom he suspects has been killing subway passengers for over a hundred years.
Leon attempts to turn some of the photos he has taken of Mahogany in to the police, but they become suspicious of Leon's motives. Leon decides to take matters into his own hands and goes to the subway at midnight, where he witnesses the butcher killing several passengers and hanging them on meat hooks. Leon passes out
on the subway floor after being attacked by the butcher who then strings him up like the other dead bodies. He passes out again when "something" begins to attack him and awakens the next morning in an abandoned subway platform with strange markings carved into his chest. Maya (Leslie Bibb
), Leon's girlfriend, and her friend Jurgis (Roger Bart
) examine the photos Leon has been taking of Mahogany, leading them to the killer's apartment. After breaking into the butcher's home, Jurgis is kidnapped. Maya goes to the police, but they will not listen to her. A police official, who seems to be involved with the unfolding conspiracy
, directs the misguided Maya to a trip on the midnight train. Leon, unaware of Maya's involvement, decides to put an end to the butcher's crimes and heads to the meat packing
plant Mahogany works in. Leon arms himself with a butcher's apron
and several slaughterhouse
knives.
Leon enters the train as Mahogany corners Maya. Leon attacks Mahogany and finally throws him out of the train. Eventually, they enter an underground cavern filled with bones and decomposing
bodies. The train engineer
enters the car and advises Leon and Maya to "Please, step away from the meat." The true purpose of the underground station is revealed as reptile-people
enter the car and consume the bodies of the butcher's victims. As they exit the train, Leon and Maya discover they are in a station underneath city hall
which is littered with the bones of hundreds of victims. Mahogany returns in a battered and bleeding state and charges at him, and Maya is tossed aside. Leon engages him a final time ending with Leon driving a sharpened bone through Mahogany's throat. Mahogany whispers with his dying breath, "Welcome," at which point Leon impales Mahogany's skull with a butcher knife
. The train engineer explains to Leon that the reptile-people have always existed and the butcher's job is to feed them every night, in order to keep "the worlds separate". The engineer rips out Leon's tongue with the same superhuman strength as the butcher and eats it; then he forces Leon to watch as he kills Maya on an altar of corpses with one of the butcher's knives and rips out her still-beating heart. When the engineer is done, he tells Leon that he will become the new meat train butcher, replacing Mahogany.
In the final scene, the police official who was involved hands the train schedule
to the new butcher, who wears a ring with the same eight-pointed star. The killer walks onto the midnight train and turns to reveal that he is a now mute
Leon.

Clive Barker was angry with Lionsgate
's treatment, believing that the studio's president Joe Drake is essentially shortchanging other people's films in order to focus more attention on movies like The Strangers
, where he received a producing credit: "The politics that are being visited upon it have nothing to do with the movie at all. This is all about ego, and though I mourn the fact that The Midnight Meat Train was never given its chance in theaters, it’s a beautifully stylish, scary movie, and it isn’t going anywhere. People will find it, and whether they find it in midnight shows or they find it on DVD, they’ll find it, and in the end the Joe Drakes of the world will disappear."
The Midnight Meat Train was released theatrically in Australia on 19 February 2009, with a rating of R18+ for high level violence, blood and gore. DVD and Blu-Ray releases followed on 14 July.
said, "Director Ryuhei Kitamura ... brings an incredible level of polish and visual sophistication to what is essentially a mid-range script. ... There's an energy to the film's final 10 minutes that's unmatched in recent horror films, and Kitamura's penchant for hard-hitting action, while suitably controlled, is always just below the surface. ... Overall, The Midnight Meat Train is a simple, bloody, hardcore offering certain to satisfy fans of the genre." Twitch Film said, "On most counts, The Midnight Meat Train succeeds. It's visually engrossing, the acting and story are (mostly) solid and it has a great lead villain in Vinnie Jones. It only falters in an illogical last act. No matter, the gore factor is selling point to the genre crowd and they don't have to worry. No punches are pulled. If this is the kind of quality material that Kitamura's going to deliver in Hollywood, I hope he stays there."
Cinematical called the film "easily the best Clive Barker adaptation since the first Hellraiser
film," saying that "screenwriter Jeff Buhler manages to maintain the sly sense of dread that permeates the best of Barker's horror tales." Bloody Disgusting said that "Clive Barker fans will rejoice in what director Ryuhei Kitamura has given them. In the Japanese director's first English-language film, he has taken his visual genius from Alive
and Versus
and translated into an action-packed blood fest. It has been a long time since a major horror film has been given such loving treatment by its director." Conversely, DVD Talk said that while the story is "an interesting concept," it's "subpar" compared to the rest of Clive Barker's work, and criticized the film's "melodrama" and computer-generated effects.
The movie was rated 70% on the Tomatometer on the Rotten Tomatoes website, with the Consensus "A creative and energetic adaptation of a Clive Barker short story, with enough scares and thrills to be a potential cult classic."
