Horror Express Reviews
Something a Little Different
Like other reviewers have stated, make sure you get a quality dvd of Horror Express. This movie has been released by so many companies that there are a ton of lousy dvd transfers floating around. The first copy I bought looked like someone just hooked up a dvd burner to thier vcr, the transfer was so bad you couldn't even read the credits. I see other reviewers detailing the plot, and if you aren't familiar with the story, try to avoid those reviews, as they will only spoil your good time. Though Horror Express is not on the level of a Hammer studios release production wise, the cool little story, and the acting by Cushing, Lee and Savalas make up for any shortcomings. The special effects are pretty effective, and still hold up well today. The theme song is still rather haunting, and the use of the train's whistle throughout the movie's soundtrack is very effective in producing chills. If you are a fan of British Horror, this is a must. Anytime you can get Lee and Cushing on screen together, you know you are in for a good time.
Great little gem
I really liked this film. I am disappointed in the quality of the transfer however. It's a real pity because if the print was of better quality, I would give it a higher rating. This film has everything - a good story, great acting and genuinely creepy moments. Above all I really liked the story. Isn't it possible that an alien lifeform landed on earth millions of years ago and had to adapt and evolve in order to survive? Isn't it possible that it did this by inhabiting the body of another? - but not before the creature had sucked out the memory from the brain of the last victim.
