Midnight Meat Train, eh? I’ll check out Infected as well.
71% tomatometer, which isn’t bad at all. I find Clive Barker’s stuff (in written form) a bit hit or miss personally.
edit: also agree that the original (let’s all forget the Nick Cage version exists, shall we) Wicker Man is a great example of slowly amplifying “gee, something is slightly off here” culminating in real horror.
Some other example of basically bad horror movies that have really great “something is off” lead-ups at the beginning that don’t really pay off:
- Final Destination
- Hostel
Not defending either film at all, just the beginning parts.
