"SUBWAY RIDERS is a chilling melodrama of angst, alienation and obsession. Poe and his Director of Photography (and producer) Hannah Heer use color (lurid reds and neon blues) symbolically and odd camera angles subtly underscore the premise that the characters are not simply bizarros alienated from society, but rather that anomie is the definitive characteristic of the modern world itself. SUBWAY RIDERS' music does not merely accompany the film, but occupies its own aural space and so adds its own distinct perspective to this highly stylized, richly textured portrait of a world of random murders." -Jeff McLaughlin, The Boston Globe

"SUBWAY RIDERS is an atmospheric feature, which in its stylized fashion accurately captures the feeling of big-city anomie today with a nod to the cine-noir approach of the 1940s." -Lor., Variety
