Horror Express

Horror Express looks back not entirely nostalgically at British imperialist values from the turn of the century... It's a fun ride while it lasts, even if few of its images are likely to remain imprinted on your retina.

a rare cinematic trifle for fans of murder mysteries, science fiction, train-based mayhem, and even zombies! It shouldn’t work, but totally does, and is easily one of the most purely entertaining horror efforts of the 1970s.

There's much more to the film than a simple synopsis - should I drop a hint that a dinosaur makes an appearance? - but part of its allure is that it takes all manner of detours, both fun and far-fetched.

It's not just a rampaging creature... It's more than just a monster. There's some real depth to it.

The Hammer team of Cushing and Lee is tremendously effective here.

Classic, grainy, low-budget horror. It is weird and gory, the plot goes in unexpected directions and there are eyeballs and blood and brains and scalpels, and is just as much fun as all of that sounds.

'Horror Express' is an appreciable hybrid of horror and science fiction enhanced by the presence of Christopher Lee and Peter Cushing, and by a director who knows exactly what he is doing. [Full Review in Spanish]

Horror Express really defies any genre, containing elements of murder mystery, zombie films, and even romance all mixed up together.

It helps to have Christopher Lee and Peter Cushing along for the ride as rival anthropologists.

The flick is delightful, spooky, and sleazy fun and should NOT be missed by anyone. Do not hesitate a second.
