Train (I) (2008)
6/10
Interesting twist on the Hostel formula!

Wow, I'll start off by saying I think some people on here have really slammed this movie. I don't quite get why. Horror and action movies are pretty much all I watch so I knew what to expect going into this one, and it definitely delivered for me! Gideon Raff has created a really brutal and claustrophobic environment here. There are some really white knuckle scenes, for example when the blonde woman tells the torturer to "keep him steady" Oh man, I couldn't help but flinch. Thora Birch is easily the highlight of the film though and plays her part really well. There were a few moments that looked truly uncomfortable and nasty to film but she seemed to play it off like a total pro. I'm happy to hear she's acting again and it's be great to see her in another horror flick like this. If you're a gorehound like me though, add this to your list and check it out no matter what. The only reason I rated a 6 and not higher is because some of the CGI (specifically towards the end of the movie) was laughably bad. Glad I bought this one though, and I'll probably check it out again sometime down the road.
