Horror Express? It Sure Ain't Pardner!

Warning: Spoilers
Screen play by "BUBBA FISH" - Cmon you are kidding me right? Says it all really - stop reading and find another movie to rent!

I dont know why Tony Todd has such a good reputation and everyone always says "oh Tony Todd is in it so i had good expectations" like the first reviewer on here - most of his films have been utter pants as he overacts and uses his voice primarily to act. Yeah he did a coupla good films like Candyman and Final Destination and even then he just did his usual deep voice, menacing performance so he isn't exactly Laurence Olivier.

Whenever I see Lance Henriksen, Tony Todd, Ron Perlman, John Cusack and sadly now Nick Cage I know the movie is not going to be of stellar origins! Sadly though as most of them were good in their time!

Indeed his overacting is hilarious especially in the scene where he is searching for the girl and although the film is utter pants its worth it to watch how bad it can get. Poor old Lance Henriksen who is a great actor is in the same league now as he just appears to take the cheque and run and every single film he has been in after Aliens has been utter tosh. Such a shame as he really is a good actor!

Watch out for all the borrows from other movies - Can you spot the movies? Well first we had a laugh at is the music when it lurches into "A FISTFUL OF DYNAMITE" score when the girl is blowing everyone away with the shotgun - Whoever composed the music and decided it fitted the scenes needs a good slap upside the head as they say in the USA. Go on if you are a movie buff you will recognise the music style instantly. Then we have the Tales From The Crypt storyline. I could go on but have fun for yourself.

Having said all that bumph it does have its moments of nasty gore which will surely satisfy any gorehound desperate to see a woman raped and her face ripped off and a mask inserted in its place or a scalping with a rusty bread knife - one of the more tame of the kills! Hey, you even get to hear the "N" word used by a white person lol

It would be better if you have smoked a "J" before you watch this to anaesthetize yourself to the mundanity and obvious BLM pandering of it all.

Having just watched the credits roll I must sday that is the quickest credits roll at the end of a movie I think I have ever seen - Less than a minute - worth it just to watch it to fast forward and see the end credits I reckon lol
