\"\"<\/a>It\u2019s not often I hear about a movie made before the nineties that took three unfinished films and cobbled them together to create an anthology movie, but here we are. \u201cNight Train to Terror\u201d is actually a pastiche of failed productions, with its three spooky tales actually re-edited and truncated remnants of films titled \u201cScream Your Head Off,\u201d \u201cThe Dark Side to Love (aka Greta),\u201d and \u201cCataclysm\u201d You might think this would end up in a failed production, and a poorly constructed end product. And you\u2019d be right \u201cNight Train to Terror\u201d is one of the top five worst anthology horror films ever made. It\u2019s a film that constantly left me baffled, confused, bored, and muttering to myself \u201cWhat the fuck is happening here?\u201d<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

This is a film so poorly put together that it can\u2019t even salvage the story frame work, as it\u2019s all so inexplicably stupid. The plot for the movie involves God and Satan sitting on a train deciding the fates of three characters by looking at their stories. And the movie begins (literally begins!) like a music video featuring a band of neon wearing teenagers hopping and jumping around to a high energy pop song, and breaking the fourth wall. This might sound like an excuse to fill time to you but\u2014yes, it\u2019s an excuse to fill time in an anemic horror film.<\/p>\n
