Blu-ray Review – Night Train to Terror

How does one make a weird horror film weirder? Include footage from
three abandoned suspense pictures, tying it all together with a
wraparound story feature God, Satan, and a group of new wave rockers
from the 1980s jamming inside a locomotive. "Night Train to Terror" is a
pleasingly bonkers creation that doesn't even pretend to make sense,
instead providing genre maniacs with random images of violence, torment,
and nudity as it winds through four different stories of doom. The 1985
effort is a madhouse of ghoulish delights, boosted by performance
sincerity that turns a horribly dated musical number into a jubilant
lighthouse for a profoundly confused endeavor. It's coarse, gruesome,
and clearly created to relieve the financial pressure of someone tied to
the production, but it certainly isn't a boring movie. Watching "Night
Train to Terror" feels like sitting through a horror film festival with a
heavy finger resting on the fast-forward button, zooming to all the
grisly goodies before it's on to the next sinister story. Read the rest at Blu-ray.com
