4/10
Leave your brain at the door

Warning: Spoilers
Okay this movie certainly won't win any awards or make Thora Birch a star again, but this movie is quite fun and okay, although the premise is unbelievably stupid and way too far fetched. This is one of the few slasher movies that have came out in recent years that isn't a remake, although this is what started out as a remake to 1980's Jamie Lee Curtis slasher "Terror Train" kinda morphed into it's own movie.

The plot = A group of teens (the usual 20-30 something cast), who are on the school wrestling team, miss they're train to Odessa, after a local woman helps them by leading them to another train that's heading to the same location, as soon as they board the train they started getting picked off one by one, by a mad doctor whose using them are live organ donors.

Come on I mean okay maybe internal organs can be used, but how can tongues and penises be used again, that is just stupid, and the fact that everyone else on the train just sits there doing nothing while these teens are being chased and hacked to pieces extreme stupidness of the lead characters and flaws in the script that cause bizarre situations, I mean talk about leave your brain at the door. This just feels like Hostel part 3 and has absolutely no intelligence whatsoever to it, but it does have some great gore and chilling death scenes.

All in all, I gave this movie a 4 because of the gore and great death scenes, other than that this movie has nothing going for it, and it's also sad to see someone as talented as Thora Birch just going through the motions in this it seems as though she has given up.
