They have GOT to be kidding!
See EDITORIAL details. Despite eye-catching cover art, I can't believe that Blu-Ray vendor VINEGAR SYNDROME (whoever THEY are) has gone to so much trouble for this...thing.
One word best describes NIGHT TRAIN TO TERROR... Feh!
Here. a glum Jehovah and bemused Beelzebub sit opposite each other in a train's dining booth. Three repulsive stories are presented in-between performances from an early-Madonna influenced pop band, complete with breakdancing vocalist. An ancient spectral black conductor and porter inexplicaby shuffle between cars.
Visuals in the first segment alone include lobotomy, amputation, heads preserved in jars of formaldehyde and hanging body parts. Lots of booby shots for ogling snuff perves.
(grabs some filth-removing eyewash)
Parenthetical number preceding title is a 1 to 10 IMDb viewer poll rating.
(2.8) Night Train to Terror (1985) - Richard Moll/Cameron Mitchell/John Phillip Law/Marc Lawrence/Ferdy...
Not for the uptight and humorless
While certainly not my favorite b-movie, Night Train to Terror is worthwhile viewing. Strange horror-comedy.
Three stories, two of which are edited down from previously released full length features. Each connected by segments on a train featuring god and satan bickering, and an amusingly horrible collection of fashionable 80s kids breakdancing and singing. Richard Moll (Bull, of Night Court) appears in two of the stories. Cameron Mitchell also appears in the last. My favorite story is the second one, which will be featured as a full length bonus on Vinegar Syndrome's release (Death Wish Club aka Gretta is worth your time!). It's the tale of a college kid obsessing over a girl he sees in a skin flick; he meets her, and is lured into her club of near-death survivors whom enjoy the sport of various Russian roulettes. This story is just WEIRD. It alternates between genuine creepiness and (not always intentional) comedy, and the lead actress is extremely sexy...
