Borgarkeri A bit overrated, but still an amazing film
Matrixiole Simple and well acted, it has tension enough to knot the stomach.
PiraBit if their story seems completely bonkers, almost like a feverish work of fiction, you ain't heard nothing yet.
Gurlyndrobb While it doesn't offer any answers, it both thrills and makes you think.
Horror Icon 'Ghost Train' may not be too scary, but still maintains the feel of a good J-Horror movie. Set mainly in the Tokyo subways, Ghost Train surrounds the mystery of a lost train ticket dropped by a woman named Yaeko Aonuma. When Nana Kimura's younger sister finds the ticket and disappears in the subway, she begins learning more about Yaeko Aonuma and searches for conductors and train engineers who may have knowledge of this spirit. 'Ghost Train' is actually very engaging and fun to watch. The CGI may have been awful towards the end of the movie, but before then, it's not really noticeable. Many similarities to 'Ringu' or 'The Ring', so if you like those, it's probably worth watching. Special mention to Erika Sawajiri, who did a surprisingly good portrayal of Nana Kimura (protagonist)
morgaine87 I didn't understood about that the woman without the eye (forgot the name) was the baby on the rails.. What did she had to do with that ghost girl (also forgot the name) who killed everybody? Nana said: so, you killed your own mother.. And then the woman without the eye said: now I can finally see my son. But who was her mother? The ghost girl? You saw that when the ghost girl was still alive she got pushed downstairs on the train, but by whom and why? And how did the baby came on the rails? I really didn't got that. And I also don't think that the baby pushed her down.. It looked like a normal hand. Later it appears she was also just a victim and obviously not the 'big source' of all. But who started this all? Who put all those people there on one pile?
HumanoidOfFlesh Oh gosh,I'm really fed up with all these generic Japanese horror films about long-haired female ghosts and ghostly kids."Ghost Train" is no exception.It is clearly influenced by "Ringu","Ju-On","Shutter" and "Pulse".Two years ago I was into such modern ghost stories,because they usually managed to give me some goosebumps,unfortunately there is nothing fresh or interesting in "Ghost Train".In fact the film is really boring.Noriko goes missing in a subway tunnel-like an elementary-school classmate-Nana must investigate a mystery of multiple disappearances,with the help of a youthful train conductor and another "disappeared" child's mother.The film offers some mildly creepy moments,however the CGI effects are laughable and the climax is illogical.Skip it.
kevn57 I don't generally like horror movies, I absolutely hate slasher stuff and the real gory horror movies too. But I occasionally do enjoy a good Japanese horror movie because most are long on suspense and pretty low on gore. The Ring and Ju-on being prime examples. I gave this one a try because two of my favorite stars are in it Oguri Shun and Sawajiri Erika, they were good but the movie in general is nothing special. One really cool thing about it though is that it used some of HP Lovecraft Cthulhu Mythos, a carved relief in a subway tunnel and Erika's character is looking to goto school abroad at the Miskatonic University.
