Horror Express (1972)- A review

Welcome aboard ‘The Horror Express’

Made in the early 1970s and a regular on British television during the early 1980s and 90s often part of their late-night horror double bills.

This film stars Peter Cushing and Christopher Lee, with a guest appearance by Telly Savalas. Based at the turn of the last century Christopher Lee discovers a frozen creature that could prove the missing link theory.

But nothing is as it seems, the creature within Lee’s packing crate is placed on the Trans-Siberian Express. This journey will be the last for some of its passengers, falling victim to an alien entity whose intentions aren’t as friendly as you would hope.

A Mind robbing alien, Zombie Cossacks, mysterious murders, and demonic possession all go to form this Spanish/British co production. The film that ‘Hammer’ wished it made.

So come join me on a journey through the frozen tundra of Siberia with no hope of rescue.
