The Midnight Meat Train, directed by Ryuhei Kitamura is an abstract horror flick. This movie contains some graphic images of bloody violence.
Commuters began to disappear once they board the last train in the New York Underground. Leon (Bradley Cooper) the photographer, began to investigate the serial disappearance. Soon he discovered that a butcher named Mahogany (Vinnie Jones) was involved behind this. But why? To know it, watch the movie.
Though this movie has many scenes involving violence and gore-ness, it is not really a Saw-ish types. The computer graphics are not up to the mark and special effects could have been done better. Often the violence looks unrealistic. Nevertheless, the story line is interesting and it is a movie worth watching.

Now we do have some scary or semi-scary desi-horrors. Gone are the good old days of Ramsay Brothers. 1920 was directed by Vikram Bhatt and was able to generate a decent reviews and reactions in different medias, which actually inspired me to watch it.
The story goes back to 1920 where an educated young couple eloped. There parents opposed as they were from different religions. Though there were no Shiv Senas. The guy was an architect and was asked to redesign and reconstruct an old Haveli into a Hotel. The couple shifted to that Haveli to have a better feel of it. Soon the girl was possessed by the Evils. The movie started like The Shinning initially, when the couple moved to the Haveli. Later you will find similar scenes lifted from movies like The Exorcist, Grudge, Ringu etc. It has failed to shiver me. Even the background score is pretty poor. The most irritating parts are the couple of songs in a horror flick.

The Girl With Crystal Plumage is an Italian thriller directed by Dario Argento. The actual name of the movie is "Uccello dalle piume di cristallo, L'" and was released in 1970.An American writer Sam Dalmas (Tony Musante), who lived in Paris with his girlfriend Julia (Suzi Kendall), one day witnessed the attack of a woman named Monica in an art gallery by a mysterious man dressed in black gloves and raincoat. In order to save Monica (Eva Renzi), the wife of the owner of the art gallery, Sam got trapped inside the empty space between two automatic door panels.The local police confiscate the passport of Sam as they considered him to be an important witness. Sam was haunted by what he saw that night and soon he realised that he and his girlfriend are the new targets of the killer. Sam chases the mysterious figure inside a building only to find out that the killer is none other than the deranged wife of the art gallery owner. In the climax, the lady killer wanted to stab Sam with the knife but obviously she failed.This is a typical classic thriller movie. There is not much presence of graphical violence though. The shots of murder in this movie was not shown directly. You will not hear a loud scream and blood splatters on the floor. It has failed to hold the suspense completely through out the movie, sometimes it becomes too slow for a thriller. Overall a good movie if you like movies of Alfred Hitchcock.
