Midnight Meat Train - Blu-ray Forum

t0nythebeat · 02-13-2009, 04:14 AM

Thought I would just post a thread for those interested in this title, since the review is now up. I'm glad to see the blu comes highly recommended and the movie itself was praised.

This was my favorite Horror release of 2008 and it's just awesome. Very tense film and the end is shocking

Amazing Movie! Day One!!

HKMOVIESAREBEST · 02-13-2009, 06:02 AM

LOVE IT! Already pre-ordered, can't wait.

(Fe)Man · 02-13-2009, 06:04 AM

Terrible movie. Boring all the way through and the ending was a pathetic attempt at trying to blow people away. Too much effort in the ending not nearly enough attention to the rest of the movie. I was ready to take a ride on the snooze train by the end of this.

Caught this on On Demand HD a few months ago and loved it. It good that Blu-rays building a nice selection of horror titles, the genre is my favorite.

PootieThang · 02-13-2009, 07:04 AM

I also watched this on Comcast ON DEMAND HD and I didn't like it at all.

I keep hearing that MMT has an extremely grainy picture. Can anyone help me out with this? I know bluray.com said the PQ was fine, but another reviewer said it has the most grain he's ever seen in a film on Blu.

I don't want to buy it on Blu if it's really distracting. But I do love this movie.

Any help would be welcome...

Well I saw it on HD Demand.. might be the same as the blu ray transfer or could be very different. It was grainy in the background..and an overall darkish look to it.

Yes it appears grainy, because that's how the film is. Whoever you read this from apparently can't distinguish grain from dirt. Grain is what builds the image. It's a good thing. Now sometimes director's will choose to add the appearance of more film grain to get a more gritty feel (or for whatever reason they like). But if you're asking if the film is transferred badly, then your answer is no.

Nothing to worry about. Read the review from this site 4.5/5 on the video.

No offense, but this site isn't really a good gauge. I'd wait to check out ALL the reviews. This site hands out 4.5/5 and 5/5 PQ grades like it's free candy.

BullS___. They do not. And what's more they freaking backup their claims with 1080 line screen caps. Know any other site that does that with all reviews? No? Then shut up.

Wow.

I agree with your bolded line, and can see where your coming from with the rest. I might have been a little more restrained though.

Director's intention. Simple as that.

I'm watching it now for the first time on blu-ray and ughhhh the grain is so noticeable.

t0nythebeat · 02-19-2009, 05:03 AM

The Unrated Director's Cut is the only version available next to the Theatrical Version.

Dust Devil · 02-19-2009, 05:08 AM

But there hasn't been a theatrical version released on any disc or is there?
I think in the US they have the banner with "Unrated director's cut" in Canada they have the "Director's cut " banner and in the UK "Extreme Edition", but they are all the same cuts. So all UNRATED....that's what I think.

nekromantik · 02-19-2009, 10:55 AM

In the UK MMT was released in cinemas for a short period. That version is 97mins while the UK DVD is 98mins. Now if you consider speed diff between theatrical versions and dvds then you can see its about 5 or 6 mins longer then the theatrical as dvds are usaully 3 or 4 mins shorter.
