"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
