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 upcoming 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 a 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.

Pathetic saw creep gore ripoff

A Customer from Rochdale, 14th March, 2009

The plot has more hole than a second hand dart board. the only thing that kept us watching was that we like old Vinnie, I'm sure the idea of films is that you are eant to like the herroin or hero of a film however from about 15 min in I wanted this f#ck wit of a lead to be hurt in a lot of ways. The story is as loose as they get and in general the anamatronics of it all suck but its a fair film sad to say a total pile of crap but still worth a watch. The story is lame with no real glue to stick it together and no real interest to maintain your attention. again Vinie is the only one I routed for in grave hope he would kill the medling freak photographer in more than one way! but all in all an enjoyable romp into the gore of trains ! again! this in Creep meets saw meets living dead. pointless useless but still charming in a crap way. do not buy this, but maybe watch it!

Dull but Slippery Bloodfest

Rip from Manchester, 7th August, 2009

Read the film summary above because that's about it really. A few buckets of 'blood' spread around a train. No depth, just effects and fake gore. What a waste of Vinnie Jones.

Gorey Vinny Film

pnewendy from , 8th March, 2010

This film was recommended to us as fantastic. Not what I would have called it but definately worth a watch. Vinny, again, plays a scary baddie. Something that comes naturally to him. A weird storyline that has to be watched right to the end to get the point of it. Weird ending really which seems to come on all of a sudden, then the credits roll. If you like the gorey 'saw' films, you will probably like this one too. Loads of blood and guts.

Lots of plot holes but great fun!

sparklybikergirl from from Northants, 8th March, 2010

Lots of suspense to start with. Vinnie is excellent. Very daft at the end and more plot holes than I could count but you don't really wach a film like this for the plot! A great gore fest!

Midnight Meat

A Customer from Peterborough, 12th February, 2010

Lots of blood and a story badly told. The gore seems to have taken precedence over the unravelling of the story. Could have been a lot better, as there was a point to all this somewhere. Jones is not convincing either. Not a bad film, just not a good one.
