Bradley Cooper’s Only Horror Film Is Deeply Disturbing—And It’s Streaming For Free
Plenty of A-listers have gotten their start in the world of horror, from Kevin Bacon in Friday the 13th to Jennifer Aniston in Leprechaun. But did you know that Bradley Cooper also starred in a horror film early in his acting career? He plays the lead role in Ryûhei Kitamura’s 2008 film Midnight Meat Train, an adaptation of Clive Barker’s 1984 short story of the same name.
In the film,
A struggling photographer meets the owner of an eminent art gallery in pursuit of a successful career. His obsession with uncovering humanity’s dark side as his debut project draws him to a serial killer who preys on late-night subway commuters.
Cooper plays that struggling photographer who quite literally goes into the belly of the beast searching for a new subject to impress his rich benefactor. I promise you have no idea where this film is going, and it is one wild ride. Don’t let the rather suggestive title fool you. There’s nothing erotic about what awaits Cooper in the bowels of the New York City Subway system.
But Cooper isn’t the only star in the film. Brooke Shields, Vinnie Jones, Leslie Bibb, Roger Bart, and Ted Raimi also star in Midnight Meat Train.
