The Midnight Meat Train is a 2008 American horror film based on Clive Barker's 1984 short story of the same name. Its plot follows a photographer who attempts to track down a serial killer dubbed the "Subway Butcher", and discovers more than he bargained for under the city streets.

Plot

City-based photographer Leon Kaufman wants to capture unique, gritty shots of life on the streets. He is crushed when, instead of giving him his big break, gallery owner Susan Hoff criticizes Leon for not taking enough risks. Emboldened, Leon heads into the city's subway system at night, where he takes pictures of an impending sexual assault before saving the woman, who kisses Leon before running to catch the subway. The next day, Leon discovers that the same woman he encountered has gone missing. Intrigued, he investigates reports of similar disappearances. Leon's investigation leads him to a butcher named Mahogany, whom he suspects has been killing subway passengers for the past three years.
