Oh, how I adore Eugenio Martin’s HORROR EXPRESS (1972). It is a fun, fun, fun film, with a wonderful cast, some great dialogue, a plot loosely adapted from John W. Campbell, and it takes place on a train! (And you should know by now, films about painters and films that take place on trains, I’m all in. Some day they will make a film about a painter on a train and I will expire from ecstasy.)
All aboard!
