Editorial Review:
Night Train to Terror is a horror anthology loosely tied together by interludes featuring God (Himself) and Satan (Lu Cifer) on a train haggling over the souls of characters in the stories. Along for the ride, for some reason, is what we're told is a "rock band," singing one rockin' little tune called, "Dance With Me," accompanied by some pretty hot breakdancing. The souls of the musicians are to be divied up also, but it's dramatically frustrating when this doesn't happen. The trio of stories presented make about as much sense as this, banking on absurd situations and splatter technique for their appeal, but coming off as unhumorously grisly and sadistic anyway. "The Case of Harry Billings" tells of a poor sod drugged up and hypnotized into luring unsuspecting victims to a hospital where their organs are forcibly harvested and sold to medical schools across the globe. Said harvesting takes place often without benefit of anaesthetic. Same goes for the viewer. "The Case of Gretta Connors" is a love story involving a death cult inventing ever more complex forms of Russian Roulette at which to cackle maniacally. And last, and certainly longest, is "The Case of Claire Hansen," pitting the devout Claire against the son of Satan, whose heart she must remove and place in a wooden box made from the actual Cross. While mostly tiresome and overlong, there are some amusing moments of the late-night variety, the kind you may mercifully not remember the next day. --Jim Gay

Rating:  - How To Watch This Movie While Sober...
Step 1- Fast forward past the ultra-stupid musical sequences. Trust me, you won't miss them! Step 2- Skip the whole God / Satan philosophical debate segments. They're boring and add nothing to the 3 actual stories. Step 3- Take your brain out and hide it under the bed or behind a dresser. Now you're ready! As said in other reviews, this "film" is an anthology of three condensed movies that make little sense. However, they are a lot of fun to watch! Yes, the demonic bug, rattling head, claymation ...

Rating: - Horrendous Horror Film: Best Viewed Late Night by Adults
Well, I'm very sure that by today's horror standards, Night Train To Terror, released in 1984, is tame, but there were moments in the film that were genuinely frightening in its intensity. On DVD, it has been restored to look crisp and new, with great sound. It all begins with a train ride where abet between God and the Devil, a classic theological theme (as presented in the Book of Job)triggers a series of horror vignettes. The struggle between good and evil abounds in these stories. The first tale ... Read More
Rating:  - What the heck?
This movie is weird to say the least. Over all picture quality, at least on the version we have, is pretty poor for DVD. It is more like an old VHS rental or something. Sound is average at best. The movie, or movies as it is, are rather confusing. The action seems to bounce all over the place and it is not entirely clear as to what is going on most of the time. The general idea of the movie (e.g. God and Satan bartering over souls) is interesting but this movie does not pull it off very well. ... Read More
Rating: - Late Night Horror Classic From 1984
Released in '84, "Night Train To Terror" was an instant late night horror cult classic. It enjoyed a following in its day although it has gone on the wayside. But anyone interested in cult classics of horror will really find this rare find appealing. The movie is a series of vignettes, three major cases argued by God and the Devil as a group of punk rockers ride an evening train. Warning: This movie is very gory, violent and scary and rated R. Kids under 16 more or less should not watch this ... Read More
Rating: - Everybody's got something to do....everybody but you!
This is, put simply, one of the greatest films of all time...if you like to watch movies while drunk and stoned! As stated elsewhere, the movie is actually three movies with a wrap around, so it moves at an incredible, surreal clip; lurching forward without any explanation or boring parts- decapitations, nudity, suicide cults, inexplicable behavior- all interweaven into a truly bizarre cinematic experience. The tie together, God and Satan on a train, is made sublime by the inclusion of, and I am not joking, ... Read More
