Directed by Ryuhei Kitamura. Written by Jeff Buhler, based on the Clive Barker short story of the same name. Starring Bradley Cooper, Leslie Bibb, Brooke Shields, Roger Bart, Peter Jacobson and Vinnie Jones.
Plot: a photographer pursuing dark subject matter comes across a serial killer who stalks late night commuters on a subway train.
Leon (Cooper) is a desperate photographer. He wants to be famous and gallery owner Susan (Shields) can help get him there, but only if he takes horrible shots of the city’s underworld. There, he eventually runs across some murders being committed by Mahogany (Jones). Not sure why he’s killing, he just decides to follow him, get close enough and snap the pictures.
What can I say about this movie? I nearly hated it. It’s muddled and uninteresting. I really didn’t care why Mahogany was killing people and I certainly didn’t care that Leon just wanted to be famous. It was too desperate and annoying. The blood and gore was overkill. It had a nice cast and nice acting, but it’s an incredibly bad story with a shit ending. I’m personally slapping the next person who turns it on.
DJ, who really likes Clive Barker stories, liked it more than I did, but he doesn’t even recommend this.
I suppose I could list my favorite movies here, but instead I'll give you a strange glimpse into what makes me TaraRomero.
1. I love comic books. I'm particularly into anything X-Men related and everything Harley Quinn.
2. My celebrity crush is Chris Evans (AKA Captain America). He's even more political than I am and he's not afraid to show it, plus he's really, really hot.
3. I love baseball and more importantly the Boston Red Sox, even though I've never even been to Boston. LOL
4. If I won the lottery tomorrow, after paying off my debts, I'd buy a smallish house somewhere in Southern California. I have got to get out of Texas.
5. My cartoon hero is Tina Belcher. Her and I share a soul.
6. I've been rescuing dogs since I was a teenager and firmly believe that fur babies belong inside and on the furniture.
7. I'm very much addicted to Hallmark Channel. I love their sappy movies, especially the Christmas ones.
8. I have 2 tattoos. An "E" on my ankle for my first lost fur baby. And a ladybug on my wrist named George after George Romero told me he liked it. May he RIP.
9. I'm a bit of a night owl. Not that I go out a lot, it's just that I prefer to be up at night and asleep during the day. I'm a vampire like that.
10. I have an unhealthy relationship with potato chips. My favorite are Herr's Sour Cream & Onion.
