XoWizIama Excellent adaptation.
Kailansorac Clever, believable, and super fun to watch. It totally has replay value.
Candida It is neither dumb nor smart enough to be fun, and spends way too much time with its boring human characters.
Jenni Devyn Worth seeing just to witness how winsome it is.
myneesh This is great 70s horror! Feels like a Hammer film. Horror with a little humor done perfectly.
Michael Ledo Prof. Sir Alexander Saxton (Christopher Lee) discovers a frozen man-ape in Manchuria which he takes on a train. It thaws and kills passengers. Peter Cushing plays a doctor and Telly Savalas has been billed higher than his role. The science in the film is a joke, even when the film was made. The microscope scenes were funny, but would pique the interest of preteens. I watched this film on a multi-pack and it was not restored. The newer offerings of this film have been restored.Guide: No swearing, sex or nudity.
Rainey Dawn The movie really is a bit underrated I feel and worth taking another watch. This may not be the best film that Christopher Lee, Peter Cushing & Telly Savalas has made but it is worth while viewing for their fans and for fans of horror films in general. I consider this film a diamond in the rough.Imagine living during 1906, finding what you believe to be the "missing link" - a prehistoric creature in ice, putting that creature on a train with you and the creature thaws out - coming back to life and wreaking havoc, killing the passengers on-board. There are not many places you can run and hide on a train. Well that is what this film is all about.This is a must see movie for Christopher Lee and Peter Cushing fans alike. Horror fans in general may find they too will enjoy this gem.8/10
gilligan1965 I really like this movie...BUT - "What if one of you is the monster?" "MONSTER!?!? We're British!" :D That was Peter Cushing's reply to that question concerning himself and Christopher Lee. :) You see, normal laws of physics and physiology, nor, those of morality, sociology, and, foreign influence, ever applied to the British...hee-hee! :DThe script 'did' get it right about the married Polish Royal couple - Count Marion Petrovski; and, Countess Irina Petrovska (the Polish feminine of such a name ended with 'ska,' and, not 'ski')...but, IMDb managed to get it wrong!?!?Then, there's the 'arrogantly-yet-cowardly-and-supposedly-tough' American' woman who takes a stand (against Captain Kazan - Telly Savalas)...but, then blames it upon another!?!? Very gutsy!?!? :DThen, Telly has a Tokarev pistol...that didn't come out until the 1930s!?!? Maybe it was an American 1911 ACP .45 pistol that came out in 1911...this movie is of 1906. The synchrony is wrong!AND, BEST OF ALL...THERE'S THE DEVOTED FATHER PUJARDOV who wished to be so pious by opposing evil! He's God incarnate; devout to the scriptures and a follower of God...yet, "he agrees to help the 'monster!?!?" Typical of religious leaders, especially those who swear to celibacy, and, then, lay with little boys!?!? He's the BIGGEST HYPOCRITE on the train! "I will teach to end pain; disease; hunger!" Says the devout priest!?!?"Moscow" says to stop the train!?!? In 1906, wasn't St. Petersburg (later. Leningrad) where 'Russian' national/governmental orders originated from?Either way...WHO CARES? I like this movie, and, I just love Silvia Tortosa and Helga Liné the same as I did as a child...SO SEXY! I give this movie TWO STARS for scaring me as a child; and, FOUR MORE STARS for Silvia Tortosa and Helga Liné arousing me! :)
