"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"
"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."
"So Byron Yordan says to his uncle Philip one day "uncle Philip, me and some friends would like to do an MTV video but we have no talent and no idea, how can we make an MTV video uncle Philip?" Or groveling to that effect. To which Oscar winning script writer uncle Philip Yordan replies "why I know just the antidote to cure your ails, we'll grab three movies on which I recently worked ("Cataclysm", "Death Wish Club" and "Scream Your Head Off" which we never finished) and get old mate John Carr to graft them together like an elephant trunk onto a mouse. Then we'll edit you and your friends into the story as musicians travelling aboard the "Night Train To Terror". And now you're up to date. Tony Giorgio and Ferdy Mayne play Satan and God respectively riding aboard the night train, on which said rock band mince about in Flashdance garb singing their signature tune ("Everybody's Got Something to Do, Everybody But You") while Giorgio and Mayne review a series of vignettes debating whether the characters should be acquitted to heaven or hell for their deeds. Essentially previews the three aforementioned movies, conjoining them for the absolute mothership of all horror anthologies. Lashings of sadism, nudity, an abattoir-sized load of body parts (no exaggeration) and nonsensical editing that you absolutely have to see before you depart this mortal coil. John Philip Law is the mind programmed maniac who lures women to an asylum where Richard Moll lies in wait, hacksaw at the ready in the unfinished "Scream Your Head Off" while in "Death Wish Club" a misguided porn star is born and then inducted along with her smitten boyfriend into death defying games that test the mettle of brave participants - this one is pretty surreal with head-crushing, brain-frying gore galore. The final vignette is extracted from "The Omen" inspired "Cataclysm" starring Cameron Mitchell, Marc Lawrence and Faith Clift as God's desperate rearguard against Satan and his claymation army. It's well photographed but comes off the worst of the trio due to the clumsy truncation. Overall this anthology's construction is as ghastly as the special effects it previews and needs to be witnessed to be fully appreciated."
"Goofy horror movie with pretty decent special effects"
"A bit of a mishmash of a movie, held together with an amazing pop song that doesn't exist outside of this movie, which I cannot stop myself from singing! The transfer is amazing, the audio is great. I can't wait to watch this with friends!"
