![]() Missing a train to their meet, a team of wrestlers from the US in Russia boards another train to get there only to wind up in the middle of a ring of organ traffickers using the train as a cover for their crimes and must find a way to get out alive. What did everyone think of this one? |

Surprisingly, this turned out to be quite an entertaining and enjoyable slasher effort. One of the best elements at work here is the extreme, bountiful gore on display which is quite a bit of fun as the blood flows through this quite easily. The nature of them being organ thieves makes for a great twist here with the body needing to be dismembered and sliced into in order to get at the special goods they require, and when the least painful method found in here is to take a bone-saw and slice through a chest cavity, there's a lot of really fun bloodletting on display which also helps out in other areas. The fact that the bloodletting requires plenty of stalking in order to capture the group makes for quite some fun times with the accidental discovery aboard the locked car, the search through the crowded cars and the abduction of each team member makes for some rather impressive moments here with this one taking on a lot of rather creepy scenes that aide along the bloodletting or in some cases actually getting it started. As well, the final half where they take the fight back to them and actually begin to score some success over the group is all sorts of action-packed fun and quite readily provides this with some exciting moments to really help this one quite well. There is some problems here, with the biggest being the complete and utter incredulity of the business they operate being this incognito for as long as it's rumored to be as it appears at numerous intervals to be a regular train service that they operate out of several cars along the way, and that tends to make for a very public sort of business that never really seems all that likely to be kept in the dark. Likewise, the fact that there's just no way to really find any kind of sympathy with them due to what they do to others makes the plea at the end where they reveal their true intentions all along quite awkward and lame, especially since there's little about what they're doing that is noble. As well, the fact that a group of collegiate-trained wrestlers would put up so little fight against the group makes for quite a rather far-fetched series of events due to the easy nature they're overpowered and rendered helpless, the exact opposite of what would supposed to happen to those kinds of people. Otherwise, this one is quite fun. |

I really liked this when I saw it three or four years ago but I HATE that it's randomly seen as a Terror Train remake since it doesn't feel like Terror Train at all. It feels more like a 'Hostel on a train' sort of thing, which is fine, but the setting is the only thing that reminded me of Terror Train, lol. I should probably rewatch this to see if it still holds up for me. |

I didn't even know it was supposed to be a Terror Train remake until I saw the newsbit on IMDb when I put the review up. That was kinda shocking since nothing about it reads as a remake other than the setting, which is perhaps the single lamest reasoning I've ever heard to justify an individual's thoughts. |

It started out as a remake, but morphed into it's own movie. I liked this, it's pretty gruesome. I've seen it a few times, and it still holds up for me. |

Agreed, it's definitely much better than expected considering that it was supposed to be the long-awaited remake only to become a totally different, enjoyable entity in it's own right. That stigma, though, will probably never be forgotten with this one. |

I still want an actual remake of Terror Train. That could really use one.

This movie was one big mess from start to finish. I didn't like it at all. |

Hostel on a Train. It's tolerable, I guess. The gore is good and the characters never offended me all that much. But eh, there's better. And as a huge Gideon Emery fan (Fenris! Balthier!), I would have really liked for him to have been better utilized and given more interesting material to work with

Indeed, there's far better out there but it's good enough to pass the time. Sometimes that's all you really need. |
