    If I had to compare the general feeling this film gave me, aside from the plus of the gore, it's no better than 2000's "Bloody Murder".


    To compare MMT to Bloody Murder at all is horror blasphemy. Sure it wasn't the best movie in the world but it did what horror movies nowadays seem to fail to do, keep the audience in suspense.

    The meat packing scene and plenty of other scenes do a great job of having a hold on the audience. Another great way that it managed to keep me watching is the character of Mahogany. I love how he is just an emotionless killing machine and throughout the movie you are wondering why he is committing such brutal crimes.

    Also why is everyone bashing the films acting, what was so bad about the acting? I actually think Bradley Cooper did a great job as playing Leon. He pulled off the slow descent into insanity very nicely. Plus Vinnie Jones did a good job showing off he doesn't need to speak to have wonderful on screen presence.

    However, I felt at times the movie was grasping but thats how most short stories that are stretched into feature length fell. I didn't really find too much wrong besides that, the CGI and overuse of flashy camera work.

    Overall I'd say MMT had some flaws but I'd give it a very positive 7/10. Like Wooden I've watched this three times and I've liked it everytime.

    This is some what true. I am a huge Clive Barker fan and own and love all of the Books of Blood. However, that means if I thought the adaption from book to screen was shit I'd voice my opinion about it. That is not the case though as I feel it was a very well done movie.

    I've got FearNet and MMT is not coming up on the list! God damn FiOS, why haven't you added it?!
    Is FearNet on Fios i thought comcast only had the rights to it or has it changed awhile ago?. We are gonna most likely get rid of comcast and get the 3 for 1 deal from verizon with Fios altough my mom heard from someone at from work that verizon say's one thing on price and then it turn's out to be totally different or something. I figured that it might have to do with if you get any of the extra stuff on the tv such as HD etc but i'm not sure so how is Fios do you like it and is it worth getting etc?.

    I haven't read Barker's original version, but it's hard for me to believe that you as a big fan found it great film adaptation. I mean, unless Barker's story explained the entire underground monster feeding system in about a page's worth, I don't see how it could have been translated well. I thought the film did an awful job handling this, and the entire 'twist' felt more like a satire of stupid random plot twists movies than anything real.

    You have to realize it's a film adaption off a short story and of course they are going to change things to make it feature length. That being said the short story goes into detail about what the "monsters" are. Also, the "twist" is the same one in novel so I had no problem with it.

    Good movie, but like many others felt the ending was a bit half-assed and out there. Still, I enjoyed it and proves that Ryuhei Kitamura still knows what he's doing with gore, whether it be an Japanese flick or an American one :thumbup3:

    Should have a review soon.

    I still loved it watching it again OnDemand. I agree, the ending COULD have been explained in more detail like the book, but still I loved it. makes me wonder though whats the status on the Hellraiser remake is?

    I thought this movie was pretty good, I'd give it a solid 7. It had decent gore and Vinnie Jones had good screen presence. It seems like a lot of peeps here didn't like the ending but being a Clive Barker story the ending didn't surprise me at all. Overall a good flick.

    Good question, how did the book explain it better? Cause, unless there is an unedited version with an extra 10 mins at the end... it was a "wtf?" ending.

    Spoilers:
    I'd be happy with someone explaining how the conductor can lift the main character off the ground with one arm with ease. I'll take the easy answer and not expect a reasoning for the bat-people.
