Horror Express was everything you want in a 1972 monster movie set on a speeding Russian train. Besides the obvious triple threat of Christopher Lee, Peter Cushing and Telly Savalas, you've got an ancient humanoid, fossil-type of frozen, red-eyed beast-man. We're not talking about an ordinary beast-man either, this one can absorb your entire life's memories and knowledge, take over your body AND control the undead. Not to mention it's been around since the beginning of time. So the deck is pretty stacked against the mere mortals just trying to joyride across the Siberian tundra on this luxury locomotive. I mean, you can't fight this kind of existential evil intelligence with a bunch of hats, mustaches and muskets! Long story short, this was a pretty cool and weird old movie and I need more like it. 8 exploding train cars out of 10.
