It’s as nutty as a Dundee Cake is Horror Express, but a wonderful slice of horror it is. Boasting Christopher Lee and Peter Cushing as a twin elegant force that are fighting evil, pic is in safe hands. As the title suggests, story takes place on a train, a Trans-Siberian Express no less. Anthropologist Prof. Sir Alexander Saxton (Lee) has discovered a creature frozen during one of his mountain expeditions, and has it safely locked up during the train journey. Yeah, right! Pretty soon grisly deaths start occurring so Saxton and Dr. Wells (Cushing) must find out what the beast is and how to stop it – if it can be stopped that is…

It’s a splendid amalgamation of films like And Then There Were None and The Thing from Another World. Although it’s often cheap looking, the modest budget actually makes the “B” movie roots engage rather than hinder. Telly Savalas’ introduction late in the day doesn’t make a lot of sense, and he hams it for all he’s worth, but again there’s a horror charm about it as the blood does flow and eyeballs do pop. While the revelation and modus operandi of the creature, the science aspects of it, contains good thought and doesn’t insult the viewers in spite of the nuttiness of it all.

Great fun, so go buy a ticket and get on board. 7.5/10

***Originally titled “Panic on the Trans-Siberian Express”***

A British anthropologist (Christopher Lee) discovers a frozen prehistoric “missing link” in 1906, Manchuria, and transports it to Europe by train. All hell breaks loose when the eerie thing escapes and preys on the passengers. Peter Cushing plays a colleague while Telly Savalas hams it up as an intimidating Cossack officer in the last act.

A joint UK/Spanish production, “Horror Express” (1972) isn’t a Hammer film, but it has the aura of one, and I love Hammer films. The best way to describe it is as a meshing of “The Thing,” “Murder On The Orient Express,” “Ten Little Indians,” “Trog,” “The Good, the Bad and the Ugly” and a few Hammer flicks with Lee & Cushing. The horrific creature obviously influenced Chris Claremont’s Proteus, aka Mutant X, in the X-Men comic seven years later.

You might be curious as to why I included “The Good, The Bad and The Ugly” in the list; it’s because the quality score by in John Cacavas will bring to mind that popular Western composition, except that it’s a more eerie and fitting for early 70’s horror. Another highlight is that it features two gorgeous redheads: Helga Line, who was 39 years-old during shooting, and 24 year-old Silvia Tortosa as a Countess.

In its time “Horror Express” was cutting edge horrific entertainment. It may be dated now, but the film at least takes its subject seriously and is never campy. I’d give it a higher rating except that it loses its mojo in the last act and becomes dull. Up to that point, though, this is stellar early 70’s Gothic horror.

The film runs 88 minutes and was shot in Madrid, Spain.

GRADE: B

“Monster? We are British, you know.”
When you get two grandmasters of horror, Peter Cushing and Christopher Lee together in a film, you know you’re in for a good ride, and that on the Trans-Siberian Express with a monster on the loose.

In 1906, Professor Sir Alexander Saxton( Christopher Lee, a renowned British anthropologist, is returning to Europe by the Trans-Siberian Express from Shanghai to Moscow. With him is a crate containing the frozen remains of a primitive humanoid creature that he discovered in a cave in Manchuria. Along for the ride is Doctor Wells, who doesn’t get along with Saxton, but when the creature escapes from the box, and with the bodies piling up with their eyes turned white they have to act fast to stop it – but already the creature has found a new host …

Not your typical monster on the spree romp, Horror express is sprinkled with some intelligence. The monster is curious about the earth. A brisk direction and elevated tension keeps this film simmering, but it’s Cushing and Lee that add high credentials to this chiller. Telly Savalas has a small cameo. Silvia Tortosa and Helga Line provide eye candy.

Alien On The Trans Siberian
That crowning jewel of internal improvement in czarist Russia, the Trans-Siberian Railroad is the scene of a really good horror film from that team of classic horror film actors, Peter Cushing and Christopher Lee. And the film was not even done for Hammer Studios, it’s a Spanish production.

The plains of Spain stand in for steppes of Russia in Horror Express. Anthropologist Christopher Lee has unearthed in the tundra the frozen body of a creature he thinks is the missing link. But the link thaws out and he starts running amuck on the train.

Then it turns out that this thing is not some link between man and ape, but some alien that landed here in our Cenezoic age and grafted with one of those apes. It absorbs intelligence from those around when killing them, but there wasn’t much to absorb from the link between simian and sapien. Now it’s got some good subjects to feast on for knowledge.

Horror Express is a very good science fiction/horror mix with a couple of the best in the genre starring. We also get Telly Savalas playing a Cossack leader who stops the train, but of course has no idea what he’s dealing with. The film holds up very well from 1972 and is a must for horror film fans.
