Matcollis This Movie Can Only Be Described With One Word.

WillSushyMedia This movie was so-so. It had it's moments, but wasn't the greatest.

Bessie Smyth Great story, amazing characters, superb action, enthralling cinematography. Yes, this is something I am glad I spent money on.

Nicole I enjoyed watching this film and would recommend other to give it a try , (as I am) but this movie, although enjoyable to watch due to the better than average acting fails to add anything new to its storyline that is all too familiar to these types of movies.

Scarecrow-88 Malarkey from cobbled footage of three films (the first discarded and unfinished but actually my favorite of the three!) is continuity hell, truly looking like a piecemeal project, quite the editing botch-job. God and Satan debate over who gets the souls of the characters contained in three separate tales. The night train of the title features rejects from Breakin' 2: Electric Boogaloo doing a song-and-breakdance while the Great Debate occurs in a different compartment. The first deals with poor John Philip Law seemingly condemned to a rather insignificant slasher film set in an asylum as Richard Moll, of all people, is a henchman with an active participation in severing the body parts of female victims Law picks up in bars (Law is the unfortunate "patient" placed under hypnosis in the institution, ordered to do the bidding of the administrator who runs the place!), with the bits and pieces sold black market! This has lots of naked victims strapped and bound to hospital gurneys and a surprising amount of bloodletting. It is horrendously edited, though, and barely makes sense beyond the initial premise. The second film is just a laughable "death game" competition where a select group participate in a series of challenges where the end result for the unlucky loser is a rather unpleasant demise (the electric shock gag had me in ribbons, not to mention, the dangerous fly the size of a man's hand; the final game has the unfortunate loser have a 250 pound dumbbell dropped on their head, swinging around with the rope steadily cut by a saw). Again, this one has excerpts from another movie thrown together and barely cohesive (well, not cohesive at all), but the girl that is the object of the affections of her "handler" and a boyfriend that meets her while she's shagging a college pal in a dorm gets full frontal and out of her clothes so it has that going for it. The third tale is a dull demonic affair where Satan himself (I thought we had already established who that is, but I digress…), in the guise of the same young Teen Idol looks of a devious chap named Olivier over several wars (as a Nazi, he is recognized by a Jewish concentration camp survivor) who could have been Damien from the Omen movies as a twenty-something. Claymation effects involving demons are applied (considered by many to be hilariously lame), including a sequence where minions from hell reach for the heroine who will be chosen to do battle against God's greatest adversary. Richard Moll is the heroine's atheist hubby, a media figure with a publication on how "God is dead", and whose own soul is in jeopardy. Her hack job supposedly to Satan on an operating table is pure Grand Guignol.The conversations between God and Satan on the train, following (or just before) the jiving kids and their singing for the camera directly at us further add a thick layer of Velveeta to the already rubbish stitch-job anthology strung together with bailey wire, duck tape, and Elmer's glue. Not without its moments, but perhaps the three movies should have been left well enough alone (maybe, though, without Night Train they never would have seen the light of day or had been remotely provided the platform or promotion given here). I imagine this would make the ideal double header with A Night to Dismember. The makeup effects (a head explodes blood all over a girl he's making out with thanks to the runaway fly; another body gradually deteriorates during an electric shock) are rather low budget misfires, practical effects quite pitifully performed. There's even an unfortunate train miniature substituting the real thing. For lovers of rancid cinema.

Bezenby Man, is this a fine slice of fetid, aromatic eighties cheese or what? An anthology movie made from three films edited down, with added gore and effects, linked together by segments involving God and the Devil on a train, trading souls while a typical eighties band plays a song about how everyone's got something to do (except you). Great stuff.The stories themselves are fine too, probably because of all the added blood and gore (and possibly the removal of all the boring bits). The first story involves a man who has been brainwashed into kidnapping people who are then tortured, cut up, and sold onto universities. Sure, it's daft, but way over the top in the gore and nudity stakes, so who's complaining? It's quite nasty, this one. I have no idea what the original film was called.Your second story here is a diluted version of a film called Death Wish Club, which I've heard of but never seen. This involves two young lovers trying to escape the influence of an evil gangster who doesn't want the girl to be free, and ropes (sometimes literally) the two into joining the Death Wish Club, where folks dice with death (rather graphically). Another winner here, although the ending is a bit abrupt and unresolved. I'd read that the stop motion bug thing was added later.Last and lengthiest is an edit of 'The nightmare never ends', another one I'd heard of but haven't seen. We have a Catholic surgeon and her husband, who has just written a book called 'God is Dead'. Meanwhile, you've got Cameron Mitchell on the trail of a seemingly immortal guy called Olivier, who seems linked to some gory murders (courtesy of some hilarious new footage). Olivier wants to recruit the surgeon's husband to work for Satan, but it's obvious to everyone within a 300 mile radius that the guy who doesn't believe in God isn't going to believe in Satan either, stupid. I'm guessing that The Nightmare Never Ends was a bit tame in the killings stake, as the new footage involves a stop motion demon stomping on badly animated people. I liked it and found it creepy in places.The wraparound segment is a hoot too – how can you dislike a film with such a cheesy pop song running through it. This film is daft as hell and a lot of fun. What more do you want from a film? Look – if you're even looking at a review of a film called Night Train to Terror, I'm guessing you're probably not on the lookout for socio-political subtext and meaningful studies of the human condition. What you get here is beheadings, Lycra, sweatbands, boobs, faces exploding, demons, people melting. It's the kind of film where all is good in the world.

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.

lastliberal Satan (Tony Giorgio) and God (Ferdy Mayne) are sitting on a train discussing whether man is evil, and this is the backdrop wherein three films have parts taken out and used in an anthology on the subject.The first segment is from Marilyn Alive and Behind Bars (aka Scream Your Head Off), about a man (John Phillip Law) who jumps off a bridge after killing his wife while driving drunk. It didn't make a lot of sense, and jumped all over the place, but it had a lot of blood and nudity. It also had Richard Moll from "Night Court" with hair in the only movie I have seen him in.In the second segment from Carnival of Fools (aka Death Wish Club), Rick Barnes, who was also in the first film, falls in love with Gretta (Merideth Haze), who was a mistress of a rich man (J. Martin Sellers), who didn't take kindly to being dumped. It had some gruesome effects, but a little weird.The final segment has Cameron Mitchell as a policemen facing Satan. Great looking devil.It was an interesting anthology except for the irritating Hanson-type band and their break dancing.
