The Plot…

A late night train traveling through a remote wilderness comes to an unexpected stop.  When the conductor get off to check on things, he is killed by a werewolf.  Soon the few passengers on the train realize that they must work together to survive.  The creature that killed the conductor isn’t alone.

Thoughts (beware of spoilers)…

Director Paul Hyett is known for his special effects in Neil Marshall’s Dog Soldiers, The Descent, Doomsday and The Centurion.  Shauna (The Descent) Macdonald and Sean (Dog Soldiers) Pertwee worked with Hyett previously.

The acting is better than expected for a low budget horror film.
