4/10

Warning: Spoilers
We all have our own likes and dislikes which doesn't, at all, mean that the movie is either good or bad. Personal taste.

I give credit to the actors for trying though there were times the dialogue between them was quite amateurish. I got a little fed up listening to childish gibberish between adults. Maybe the writer intended it to be that way, I don't know but it was annoying.

The story line wasn't too bad but you never find out where the werewolves came from apart from a brief story the old man tells though it still didn't explain their existence.

The werewolf effects were great and it lifted the interest of the film a notch and the story taking place on a train may be original to some but there have been horror films that have taken place on a train.

The male protagonist got on your nerves at times along with most of the other characters and the feeling of wanting them dead wasn't such a surprise. You saw it coming.

There were also some scenes which made you frustrated because of the characters stupidity. Again, the director probably did this on purpose but, it just didn't work.

Originality for the rest of the film - zero!

I really didn't want to watch the whole film as I got bored with it but decided to sit through it. I enjoyed the ending - only the ending, seeing the werewolves in their full form. It did leave me wondering though how a woman whose clothes are bloody and tattered, walking in a daze at a train station and nobody seems to care let alone look at her.
