Horror Express (1972)
(Pánico en el Transiberiano)
Country: GB/SP
Technical: col 88m
Director: Eugenio Martín
Cast: Christopher Lee, Peter Cushing, Alberto de Mendoza, Silvia Tortosa, Telly Savalas
Synopsis:
Returning from Siberia with an ape-like humanoid he has found frozen in the ice, an anthropologist must join forces with his rival in science, also on the train, as the creature thaws and exerts an extraordinary power over the passengers and crew.
Review:
Refreshingly located (filmed in Spain) and briskly edited, this zombie film in all but name is chillingly directed and has a cumulative rhythm in keeping with the locomotive setting. It is also not without a sense of humour, unlike other British horrors of the period.
