Night Train to Terror Audience Reviews

Diagonaldi Very well executed
Matialth Good concept, poorly executed.
Spoonatects Am i the only one who thinks........Average?
Janis One of the most extraordinary films you will see this year. Take that as you want.
amosduncan_2000 One of the posters says this film was cobbed together from other incomplete projects, though says two were actually finished. I wonder if they were released in some other form. At any rate, this movie is garbage. It has a car accident quality for awhile, you can't look away, but it's overcharged tempo even wears thin, and it becomes very tiresome. It is amazing that somebody gave somebody money to make this, but it might have been tainted South African money. Just totally bad. No attempt to credit names John Phillip Law or Cameron Mitchell, which is probably just as well for them, poor guys. The rest has all been said. We always seem to blame the decade for this sort of bad film, "it's so seventies" "it's so eighties" but really it just is bad and would be in any ten year span.
arfdawg-1 God and Satan are on board a train and discuss the fate of three individuals. In the first story, "The Case of Harry Billings", a man is kidnapped and taken to an insane asylum where he is put under hypnosis and lures victims to be tortured and murdered as part of an organ-harvesting operation. The second story, "The Case of Gretta Connors", entails two young lovers who become involved in a sinister cult of people fascinated with death. The final story "The Case of Claire Hansen" involves an apprentice to the Devil who is out to destroy mankind and a group of immortals who are out to stop him.If you are a fan of bad horror movies, you'll know that Night Train to Terror is actually pieced together from three other films:Cataclysm (1980) Death Wish Club (1983) Scream Your Head Off (unfinished)And believe it or not footage from this film was also later edited into Marilyn Alive and Behind Bars (1992). The movie was written by an academy award winning writer!The film was given a limited release theatrically by Visto International Inc. in 1985.[1] The film received poor reviews and less than spectacular box office attraction.The film was given its first official Bluray and DVD release in October 2013 by Vinegar Syndrome. Extras for the film include the full-length version of Greta (aka Death Wish Club), an interview with producer/director Jay Schlossberg-Cohen, an interview with assistant editor Wayne Schmidt, and a commentary track by The Hysteria Continues.The film is often compared to the likes of Plan 9 From Outer Space due to its bad dialogue, poor editing, and numerous continuity errors.It is truly Ed Wood if Ed Wood had lived! I'm giving it a 10 for it's bizarre-ness. If left to rate on the content, it would get a one.
Chase_Witherspoon So Byron Yordan says to his uncle Philip one day "uncle Philip, me and some friends would like to do an MTV video but we have no talent and no idea, how can we make an MTV video uncle Philip?" Or groveling to that effect. To which Oscar winning script writer uncle Philip Yordan replies "why I know just the antidote to cure your ails, we'll grab three movies on which I recently worked ("Cataclysm", "Death Wish Club" and "Scream Your Head Off" which we never finished) and get old mate John Carr to graft them together like an elephant trunk onto a mouse. Then we'll edit you and your friends into the story as musicians travelling aboard the "Night Train To Terror".And now you're up to date. Tony Giorgio and Ferdy Mayne play Satan and God respectively riding aboard the night train, on which said rock band mince about in Flashdance garb singing their signature tune ("Everybody's Got Something to Do, Everybody But You") while Giorgio and Mayne review a series of vignettes debating whether the characters should be acquitted to heaven or hell for their deeds. Essentially previews the three aforementioned movies, conjoining them for the absolute mothership of all horror anthologies. Lashings of sadism, nudity, an abattoir-sized load of body parts (no exaggeration) and nonsensical editing that you absolutely have to see before you depart this mortal coil.John Philip Law is the mind programmed maniac who lures women to an asylum where Richard Moll lies in wait, hacksaw at the ready in the unfinished "Scream Your Head Off" while in "Death Wish Club" a misguided porn star is born and then inducted along with her smitten boyfriend into death defying games that test the mettle of brave participants - this one is pretty surreal with head-crushing, brain-frying gore galore. The final vignette is extracted from "The Omen" inspired "Cataclysm" starring Cameron Mitchell, Marc Lawrence and Faith Clift as God's desperate rearguard against Satan and his claymation army. It's well photographed but comes off the worst of the trio due to the clumsy truncation. Overall this anthology's construction is as ghastly as the special effects it previews and needs to be witnessed to be fully appreciated.
darker-side829 This was the worst movie ever! I cant believe they called this piece of crap a movie! It barely had anything to do with a train. Every time i hear that song that the piece of crap rock band sings i die a little. The stories were ridiculous. I almost fell asleep from this junk! These were the worst special effects i have seen (including anything from the 1930's.) I cried ,i was laughing so hard! There was more cheese in this movie than 30 cheese sandwiches. Do not watch this. I feel bad for the directors. Heres how this "movie" was made: 1- The director called a meeting. At the meeting he said,"Hey guys Im making a movie called night train to terror.You guys get to do whatever you feel like except change the title. Heres 5 bucks. Get me a movie and meet me back here on Tuesday. 2- On tuesday, they began editing it. All the editors fell asleep while watching this disgrace.3- Some more directors came to help get it approved.4- They killed the editor and forged his signature. Now they had their disaster of a movie.That was how we got cursed.This is the reason of many deaths. This thing they call a movie made me feel like i was dying. Whatever this sucky thing is, its not a movie.
