Synopsis
Christopher Lee and Peter Cushing star in this creepy tale of a long-frozen 'missing link' discovered in the ice in Northern China. As the frozen relic is being transported to England via a trans-Siberian train, passengers begin turning up dead, their eyes drained of all color. This excellent forgotten horror gem has the look and feel of a Hammer production, though it's a Spanish production. Oh, and Telly Savalas is in it, too!

5.0 out of 5 stars British Horror Classic, 1 Mar 2007
By Olivia Blair "climatic_fanatic" (Aberfeldy) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)      
Starring Christopher Lee and Peter Cushing and set on a train rolling through China and Russia in 1906, The Horror Express has the gothic tones of Hammer.
Scientist Peter Cushing discovers a fossilised primitive man in the frozen wastes of Manchuria. He transports the find back to Europe on an express train, but there is an alien creature inside the fossil and as it thaws out trouble starts as he begins his killing spree leaving the victims with their eyes gorged out and their memories sucked out of them. The inspector and his force believe the monster is caught and killed, but has the creature secretly possessed another Human?....

The over-the-top performance of Telly Savalas also has a lot to do with the film's reputation as a cult favorite. Savalas performed the role using grand gestures and a speaking voice similar to his characterization of Kojak, despite the fact that his character was supposed to be a Russian Cossack.

Horror Express was filmed mostly without sound, with effects and voices dubbed into the film later. Christopher Lee, Peter Cushing and Telly Savalas all provided their own voices for the English market

4.0 out of 5 stars tantilising terror, 24 Nov 2008
I do confess to being a big 70s horror fan and while many people would not be scared by this type of suspense I am not one of them. This film is proof that you don't need loads of special effects or gallons of fake blood to be freaked out!!! Added to which Lee and Cushing are old pros at the horror game and so you are guaranteed for a scary experience! Watch on a saturday afternoon with the wind blowing outside.Perfect.

5.0 out of 5 stars One of the greatest horror movies of all time, 18 Nov 2006
By V. K. Manglaveras (thessaloniki, greece) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This is one of the greatest horror movies of all time. The plot and the suspense are fantastic. Christopher Lee and peter cushing are great as always and i just wish a special edition to be released soon.
Until then enjoy this movie which is really frightening and enjoyable.

This film apparently enjoys a reputation as a 'cult classic'. While I've seen worse films, it's not really what I'd call a great film, or even a good film. Read more
