The Midnight Meat Train/YMMV


 * Fridge Logic: A few things for this movie.
 * The Conductor states that
 * And beyond that -

 * High Octane Nightmare Fuel: The entirety of your everyday life is just a cover for a horrible, horrible secret. You want to be a hero?

 * Moment of Awesome: The final fight. An insane serial killer and a weirdo photographer fight wearing steel-mesh aprons, butcher knives and meathooks in a moving subway car full of dead (or near dead) bodies hanging from the ceiling.

There's blood everywhere, and the two of them are going at it absolutely no-holds barred. And then the electric guitars start.

 * Well it does have a 71% rating on Rottentomatoes, the reason mainstream critics didn't talk about is because it only got a theatrical release in dollar theaters, so most critics simply weren't able to go and see it.
