Horror Express

I saw this when I was a child and it gave me nightmares for years. It is one of my favorites and has a great cast of characters with Lee, Cushing and Savalas.

Another seriously underwhelming effort from (not) Hammer. Christopher Lee sonorously transports a monster found in the icy wastes of somewhere, and while journeying home on the Horror Express is surprised to discover that said monster keeps killing passengers. Peter Cushing offers his querulous foil, all reason to Lee's rude entitlement, and there's also a Rasputin figure, identifiable because he wears a ton of make-up. It's entirely unthrilling and tedious.

One of the best classic horror movies!

One of the most unique films I've ever seen and a must see for fans of the legendary duo of Peter Cushing and Christopher Lee. The film doesn't over stay it's welcome at 90 minutes In my opinion this is a criminally underrated and under appreciated film.

THIS WAS MY FIRST HORROR MOVIE AND ONE OF THE BEST I WATCHED IT WHEN I WAS A KID IT WAS SUPER FUN

Wonderfully unique horror story with elements of steampunk, as some sort of creature begins killing passengers on the Siberian Express. Attempts to solve the mystery being hampered by Victorian snobbery, Russian tsars and a hapless monk. The Spanish/British production provides adequate atmosphere.

Cushing and Lee at their finest against a unique (still to this day) threat, with nowhere to run and hide aboard a train.

Despite starring Christopher Lee and Peter Cushing, and focusing on a beast who possesses supernatural powers, Horror Express is, somehow, not technically a hammer horror flick. It actually feels like what Murder On The Orient Express would be if you added a body-possessing extra-terrestrial. It takes place in confined spaces abroad what's meant to be the Trans-Siberian Railway, but the films geography is all over the place. For example, a title card states that the eponymous train is departing from Peking, but several characters talk about how they're leaving from Shanghai. Also, the opening of the film takes place in Manchuria, but the title card gives the location as Szechuan Province, which is in a completely different part of the country. The story itself is pretty enjoyable, nothing ground-breaking, and its clever that the creature is never shown in its entirety, so we pay extra close attention when any part of it is see. The effects and make up are impressive, and while some parts of it feel wildly out of place, such as Telly Savalas' over the top performance as a crazed army captain, its mostly a down to earth horror thriller with enough going on to keep you invested. Not one you'll regret missing, but a worthwhile way to spend an hour and a half.

Like scary murder on a Russian Siberia express. PETER CUSHING, CHRISTOPHER LEE, TELLY SEVALAS! & a Rasputin like mad mopnk. Red eyed guy seems to suck the knowledge and souls out of victims, whose eyes then bleed. Surprisingly good. Got almost all rave reviews by the pro critics on RT. So I will give it a 3 1/2 RT stars of 5. Saw it on The Movie Channel 3.25.2022

Even with some unintentional comical scenes still overall worth viewing. Just don't expect too much from this film.
