A great horror film!


FYI - did you guys know this film is based on the same novella that inspired 1951’s The Thing and the much celebrated Carpenter version, too?

All are great adaptations, but I prefer Horror Express among all 4 adaptations.

I had no idea 🤷‍♂️. But the movie is great indeed, probably better than the 51’s The Thing that I haven’t seen, but can’t say the same for Carpenter’s version - it’s like comparing apples and oranges - both movies are great.

To me Horror Express is a horror classic. The music, atmosphere, the claustrophobic setting. Great plot device to have that “alien” being loose on the train. It all made work. Great British horror thespians together Christopher Lee and Peter Cushing that all added to this masterpiece.
