Singing in the T-rain
"Should be called Horror Movie Cliff Notes. I wanted to like this one, but honestly, it just made me want to see the full length versions of the three films that were chopped down for the vignettes."
This listing is for the standard edition Blu-ray/DVD combo. The limited edition slipcover (designed by Earl Kessler Jr.) was limited to 2,500 units and is sold out. The two versions are identical, aside from the slipcover.
Aboard a fast moving train bound for Hell, God and Satan decide the fates of three unfortunate mortals. In HARRY, a fiendish killer keeps the horribly mutilated body parts of his countless victims in a diabolical tourture chamber. In GRETTA, a young woman, obsessed with death, takes part in an unspeakable ritual of Russian roulette. Finally in CLAIRE, a young woman and a Holocaust survivor are terrorized by the son of Satan! NIGHT TRAIN TO TERROR comes to you on home video for the very first time in its original aspect ratio and restored in 2k from 35mm film elements.

"Film definitely has it's charm along side films like terror train etc. . . slasher fans should check this film out. . . . 4/5"
"There should be more horror anthologies where they just chop up the best bits from other films so you get all the nudity, kills, and stop motion beasties without making any sense and then intersperse it with a corny 80s music video. Also this has the MCR dude playing a nazi demon"
"Bought it for the VSMC slip and the movie was worth the blind buy. Nice horror movie."
"Great anthology. It's a classic movie that you just put on whenever you want to have a good time, the VHS way!"
"The Devil and God ,playing a game of life and death for the souls aboard a train to heaven or hell lol ,This is one of those cases where it’s so bad it’s good , ridiculous over the top gory horror anthology and a bad 80’s dance pop song played to death lol grab a few beers and some close friends and watch night train of terror beautiful restored film , another hidden gem from V. C. !"
"Now that's an intriguing horror anthology with three great stories to follow. The extras are pretty good and even comes with an extended version from one of the stories. Check this one out, it's great!!"
"I don't even know what else to say. It's just really bad. I can totally understand how it has developed a cult following for that very reason, but unfortunately there's no nostalgia here for me and I really didn't enjoy this movie at all. Nice cover and disc art though."
"There is really nothing else out there quite like this. An accidental anthology film cobbled together from three unrelated films. Gratuitous gore, nudity, stop motion FX, and break dancing come together to create an 80s B Horror schlock classic. Loaded with extras. Including the full version of Death Wish Club aka Gretta. Which is a cool B flick in its own right. And two commentaries. One by The Hysteria Continues. And one by the producer Jay Schlossberg Cohen. This is a quintessential VinSyn release."
"A set of three short horror films assembled into a main feature film. Includes several special features including a full length version of the second short film."
