horror express (1973)

aka Pánico en el Transiberiano. Panic in the Trans-Siberian Train.
It's 1906 and Professor Saxton (Christopher Lee) is travelling on the trans Siberian express with a fossil he has discovered in the frozen wastes of Manchuria. A fossil he hopes to prove is the Missing Link. But whilst boarding a Russian monk gives him the sign of the evil eye, saying it is cursed. He then bumps into an acquaintance, Dr. Well (Peter Cushing) who is intreged as to what is in the box, and willing to find out by any means necessary. As the train speeds through the frozen wastelands violent deaths start occurring as the reanimated humanoid attacks all that get in its way.
A cult favourite featuring two horror greats in Cushing and Lee, and enhanced by the cameo apprearance of Telly Sevalas as a Cossack leader. If into horror in any way be prepared for an hour and a half of claustrophobia and paranoia.
