Review of Night Train to Terror

This film rightly deserves one out of ten stars, but in terms of entertainment it rates ten out of ten. I enjoyed every minute of it, but as a film it is just not good. Typically with anthologies, stories are adapted and filmed specifically for the anthology. With "Night Train to Terror," existing movies were edited (I use that word very loosely in the case of at least one of these stories) and then tied together by a new wrap-around story. The result is an incredibly fun, though entirely preposterous product. From the very beginning, with the all-singing, all-dancing revelers aboard the night train, I was rolling on the floor in conniptions. It was nearly impossible to take any of this seriously, though the final story involving a Nazi Svengali seemed downright poignant compared to the preceding insanity. The first story, "The Case of Harry Billings," was edited so poorly that almost none of it made sense. Alas, that only seemed to add to my enjoyment of it. The narration of the first segment also ripened this cheese to pure stinky perfection. One could not ask for more! Avoid at all costs if you are looking for family entertainment or anything resembling a good, serious film.
