    I liked the ending quite a bit... it wasn't your typical finale. But I absolutely hated all of the CGI blood! It's so obvious and annoying. The hot Asian hooker almost made up for it...

    I'm sorry guys... this movie was SO. BAD. I love horror movies with all of my being, but this was one of the worst I've ever sat through. Not only did the title make me think I might be watching some sort of clever, porn, but once it was obvious that was not the case, the movie sank into the depths of the ridiculous... and by the end, was clear that it would not recover. Yes, Vinnie Jones is awesome. But this movie does not deserve the high ratings it's getting. Is it necessary for me to read the Clive Barker short in order for me to appreciate it? Mmkay, I'll bite... but a movie that can't be a standalone (that's not a Harry Potter movie I guess) is not a good movie.

    I can understand how some might not like it and it's not a perfect story in terms of pacing and development, but I don't know if I would ever describe it in all capital letters. I've seen movies that are SO. BAD. and MMT definitely was above a lot of the crap I sit through. To each their own.

    Well okay... it doesn't actually fall under the realm of SO BAD. I guess I just thought that the storyline didn't develop smoothly, the foreshadowing was awkward and misleading (not always bad, but...), and the ending was from so far out in left field, I was left laughing heartily instead of perhaps gasping or furrowing my brow. So I semi-retract my vehement opposition to MMT, because the beginning was good, it made me fear riding the subway at night, and it got me laughing, but I still don't think it's in the realm of quality movies. I categorize it in my brain with the likes of Rabid... no, maybe Troll 2. Perhaps Ghoulies 4. You know.

    Wow. Ghoulies 4. Ouch. Comparing it to any Ghoulies movie is harsh but, damn. As for Troll 2 - Nilbog! But I'm the say with endings - if I don't like it, I hate the whole movie. Ah well.

    If you have to meet the midnight train:    It will start… After 15 minutes you are wondering by the great camera frames, locations, exceptional atmosphere and the brilliant hallucinating montage.There's no need to be excited anymore; after a while the story will brutally murder everything you like; and if you were waiting for a surprise, you were exactly right: HEY! The film wasn't any good, you have been fucking yourself, wasting your time with such a shit pictures.
