The Train - Hostel ripoff.

[redtornado]

I got a chance to see this and it was originally made as a remake of "Terror Train". The producers decided to make a more faithful remake afterwards and the movie was simply titled "The Train". Other then an opening scene homage, there is nothing similiar to the original in this one. The opening scene is a body being skinned. Yuck. The fact that Thora Birch plays a female wrestler should of been a warning.

This is a straight Hostel ripoff. It even takes place in Russia. Long story short, its about a organ parts scheme on a train. A group of Americans need to get to Odessa and miss their train. A nice stranger offers them a ride on a private train. Bad idea. Very bloody, very graphic. I dont want to spoil it for people who havent seen it, but its as if the producers said "Lets do Hostel and make it more grotesque". The worst scene is when a guy is hanging from his arms and they need him to stop struggling. So the "butcher" takes a knife and slits down his back. He then takes a fork looking thing and puts it between his spine and hammers into it. Gross. A happier ending then most torture movies, but still not for the faint. A very intense movie. Well made, but not for everybody. I loved the original Terror Train and thank god this isnt gonna be the remake.
