This looks pretty good. Gotta be in the running for best movie title of the year...

Looks like there's some potential there. I've heard lots of good buzz, plus I had a friend that did a set visit and he said the sets looked really badass. I'll probably go catch it when it opens.

The trailer made it look too Saw-ish and Vinnie Jones was horribly miscast in X-Men: The Last Straw, but I have a few excuses for wanting to see this.
Namely, the premise (dude in a business suit slaughters people on a subway, photographer has no idea where the bodies go). And, that pornorific title, which is right up there with Black Snake Moan for the awesomeness award.
Also like Brooke Shields' premise here. She tends to show up in really fucked up movies in small roles (i.e. Freaked and Freeway).

I read the short story and it was pretty decent.

I am so psyched to see Kitamura bringing his insanity to America. Now there's a Japanese import I can get into.
Well, him and Yuma Asami but that's a different story.

If the movie is daring enough to go in the way-out directions that Barker's story does, then this could be pretty good. Doesn't sound like it's getting a very good studio treatment though. My local theaters don't like showing horror anyway - it'll probably be a "wait until DVD" movie for me. Probably for the best, since there will likely be an "uncut" version that couldn't get away with an "R" rating (if the movie goes as far as the story).

wasn't this supposed to come out in the Spring? What was the hold-up, from what I've read, this SFX guys spilled alot of stage blood (problems with the MPAA?)
