But for the most it's unfunny and a lot of the jokes fall flat and cast really don't seem to be enjoying themselves and it has to have the worst looking wolfman ever, only real highlight is Geena Davis as a female vampire. 5/10
Night train to terror
On a train with have satan and god who are fighting for souls of people in three stories. Also on the train we have a godawful band who sing the same song after each story and who don't know that there fate is also being decided
First story is about a man after a car accident wakes up in a sanatorium and is made to kill young woman using a drug, this was probably my least favorite story, but it did have a good amount of gore and nudity.
Second story. About a young man who falls in love with a young woman who is under the control of a older man, the older man grows jeoulse as they fall in love , along the way they join a sort of death club where the members play Russian roulette type games.
Third story. Is about nazis and the antichrist, I enjoyed this one and the actor playing the antichrist was very disturbing, but like all the other stories it's very disjointed and confusing as they are taking from longer films which have been cut down . Will be interesting to see if I can find full versions of them. 7/10
Now watching Wilard and it's brilliant from what I have watched, worth a lot more than the penny I paid for it. | 'Night Train to Terror' is one of my guilty faves for sheer schlocky disjointedness, but 'The Death Wish Club', which forms the basis of the second segment, is a really great lost cult film from the eighties, one which strangely resonates with echoes of David Lynch before his style and preoccupations had fully evolved. I assume you have the newish Vinegar Syndrome Blu-ray, in which you can see 'The Death Wish Club' under its original title 'Gretta' on the dvd included. PQ isn't great, but it's really worth watching.
