  • Starring: Bradley Cooper, Leslie Bibb, Vinnie Jones
  • Summary: When Leon Kaufman’s latest body of work – a collection of provocative, nighttime studies of the city and its inhabitants – earns the struggling photographer interest from prominent art gallerist Susan Hoff, she propels him to get grittier and show the darker side of humanity for his upcomingcoming debut at her downtown art space. Believing he’s finally on track for success, Leon’s obsessive pursuit of dark subject matter leads him into the path of serial killer Mahogany, the subway murderer who stalks late-night commuters – ultimately butchering them in the most gruesome ways imaginable. With his concerned girlfriend Maya fearing for his life, Leon’s relentless fascination with Mahogany lures him further and further into the bowels of the subways and ultimately into an abyss of pure evil – inadvertently pulling Maya right along with him.

    It's equal parts shivery and silly -- eyeball popping in slo-mo!

    Director Ryuhei Kitamura (Versus) is a bit weak when it comes to storytelling, but there are few who could so enthusiastically stage a butcher fight amid hanging human carcasses in a subway car.

    May not be grade-A prime, but it ain't chopped liver either.

    Makes for an awsome Gorefest collection. As a blood and guts horror film it is perfect, but as an overall I'd probably give it an 8

    An incredible adaption of Clive Barker's work ranking right up there with the first Hellraiser, this horror flick is exactly what gore hounds want; healthy helpings of dark blood and gore, a decent enough plot, and a professional level of polish that's rare to the industry.… Expand

    Probably the best horror film in a while. Some of the gore scenes are over the top but definitely original - unlike the majority of Saw type cash-ins. There were some scenes I couldn't watch but some fight scenes made me laugh.… Expand

    A gory, scary, horror film with an actual storyline! This movie should have been a can't miss and for the first hour it seemed that way. The movie progressed and it got weirder and weirder and then the ending just absolutely killed it.… Expand
