| SYNOPSIS __________
Plot:
When Leon Kaufman’s (Bradley Cooper) latest body of
work – a collection of provocative, nighttime studies
of the city and its inhabitants – earns the struggling
photographer interest from prominent art gallerist Susan Hoff
(Brooke Shields), she propels him to get grittier and show
the darker side of humanity for his upcoming debut at her
downtown art space.
Believing he’s finally on track for success, Leon’s
obsessive pursuit of dark subject matter leads him into the
path of serial killer Mahogany (Vinnie Jones), the subway
murderer who stalks late-night commuters – ultimately
butchering them in the most gruesome ways imaginable.
With his concerned girlfriend Maya (Leslie Bibb) fearing
for his life, Leon’s relentless fascination with Mahogany
lures him further and further into the bowels of the subways
and ultimately into an abyss of pure evil – inadvertently
pulling Maya right along with him.
Horror thriller THE MIDNIGHT MEAT TRAIN stars Bradley Cooper
(WEDDING CRASHERS, TV’s “Alias,”), Leslie
Bibb (the upcoming TRICK R’ TREAT, TALLADEGA NIGHTS:
THE BALLAD OF RICKY BOBBY), Tony Curran, Brooke Shields (“Nip/Tuck”),
