Night Train to Terror is a 1985 horror anthology film that tells three stories that are interwoven between each other. The movie also has another story arc that follows God and Satan, both representatives of good and evil, respectively, and a group of teens who have recently died and are on their way to their judgment. The film starts with God and Satan discussing the fate of a group of teens who died in a train accident. The accident occurred on a train that was heading for their final destination, and their unfortunate death left the teens stranded between their earthly life and their afterlife destination. God and Satan debate about the teens' fate, but eventually, they agree to let fate decide their destiny.

The viewer is then taken on a journey to witness three different stories unfold, which could potentially determine the fate of the stranded teens. The first segment tells the story of a rock band called "The Undead" that is recording their latest album. During their recording session, their producer, Phil, introduces them to a new drug that he claims will give them an edge in their performances. They take the drug, but soon discover that it has terrible side effects, causing them to become flesh-eating zombies.

The second segment of the movie revolves around a young woman named Claire. She is on the run after witnessing a murder and hops onto a train where she meets a group of eccentric passengers. The passengers on the train try to make her feel at ease but are quickly revealed to be part of a death cult that is determined to sacrifice her to their deity.

The third and final segment follows a brilliant surgeon, Dr. Zayas, who uses his expertise to revive the dead. However, his experiments take a dark turn when he has to revive his own daughter, who died in a horrible accident. The young girl comes back to life, but she is now possessed by an evil entity that has an insatiable appetite for death and destruction.

Meanwhile, the judgment for the stranded teens is inching closer, and God and Satan are still debating their fate. The three stories that have been unfolding throughout the film finally converge, creating a chaotic and intricate web, as the train hurtles towards its final destination.

The film's cinematography is intense and vivid, with scenes that are bathed in neon lights or drenched in dark and eerie shadows. The acting is excellent, with each actor fully committed to the character they are portraying, and the practical effects, especially in the zombie segment, are highly impressive.

Night Train to Terror, with its interconnected tales of horror, creates a sense of disorientation and unpredictability that keeps the viewer engaged throughout the film. The blending of different genres like horror, comedy, and film noir, adds to the uniqueness of the film, which can be considered a cult classic in horror movie circles.

Overall, Night Train to Terror is a highly entertaining and imaginative film that offers something for everyone, from horror enthusiasts to fans of artistic experimentation. It is a bold and daring example of horror filmmaking that still holds relevance and impact today.

Night Train to Terror is a 1985 horror movie with a runtime of 1 hour and 38 minutes. It has received mostly poor reviews from critics and viewers, who have given it an IMDb score of 4.2.
