Title: NIGHT TRAIN TO TERROR (1985) Post by: alandhopewell on September 20, 2016, 03:00:46 PM Back in the day, this is what you got when you said, "Night Train"....
(http://www.topiado.com/media/catalog/product/cache/1/image/1200x1200/9df78eab33525d08d6e5fb8d27136e95/n/i/night_train_express__45113.1405360999.400.400.jpg) For the uninitiated, it was a brown-bag wine of 19% alcohol content that'd definitely get you where you wanted to go; it helped fuel many a party, trip, or bad-flickfest. Thus, the title of this film is appropriate.... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yWgwQSUpZH0 (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yWgwQSUpZH0) You get the distinct impression that someone was suckin' on green-bottle joy-juice during filming. NIGHT TRAIN TO TERROR is a mash-up of three separate films, two incomplete, vivisected and stitched together into a psychotic omnibus movie of three stories, held together by a framing device of a train, a conductor, God, Satan, and a group of musicians / dancers who look like the Eighties version of Kaptain Kool and the Kongs. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oFzxvdP--i8 (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oFzxvdP--i8) CTTOI, a wee drap o' Night Train might be helpful when watching this. ENJOY!

Night Train seemed to have parts in Cataclysm that I had not seen in the full movie, yet it would the movie better. I never understood the reason why the stop motion stuff was cut out in the movie.

Powell on September 29, 2016, 08:23:38 PM The second movie, GRETA, was completed and is included on the Blu-ray as a bonus. It's actually kind of fun; a lot more coherent than the 30 minute version they cut it down to, but still super-wacky.
And talking about this movie without including this amazing video should be against the rules: http://youtu.be/VUHsLZ5t5w8 (http://youtu.be/VUHsLZ5t5w8) Terrifying! (P.S. I drank Night Train in college and greatly preferred it to Thunderbird. It tasted more like wine than Thunderbird's synthetic apple juice taste. Wild Irish Rose was another winner). |
