Next stop...death. 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 a 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.

While this movie had a interesting premise it fell short due to its lack of character development, and its ability to hold my interesting for the entire length of the film.

It started out pretty decent. The film gives us a question and wants us to answer it. While it proceeds to give us all the clues to answer the big twist of the film it stoops to a really stupid form of horror that was totally unexpected. It seemed like this would be like one of the mystery horrors where there is a killer and the heroine has to figure out who it is before the last hostage is killed, but it turned into a mutant/zombie movie that didn't really make sense at all. Overall this is a really second rate horror that could be overlooked. Simply fearnet free movies at its best.
