Poster for Horror Express

A nightmare of terror traveling aboard the Horror Express!

Film Synopsis

In 1906, a British anthropologist boards the Trans-Siberian Express with a mysterious crate containing a frozen prehistoric creature. When passengers begin dying in bizarre ways, it becomes clear the creature has awakened—and may possess otherworldly powers. This atmospheric mix of horror and science fiction features Christopher Lee and Peter Cushing in a battle against an ancient, shape-shifting menace.
