Horror Express

Christopher Lee, Peter Cushing and Telly Savalas - yes, Kojak himself, star in this Anglo-Spanish horror flick about a beastie unearthed in China that wreaks havoc on the train that is bringing it back to Europe. The story is actually quite good; though the quality of the print I saw was pretty dreadful so sadly it became more of a perseverance exercise, than one of enjoyment. The direction is quite taut, and it builds to quite an exciting crescendo. As you'd expect, the music and dubbing are not quite what they might be, and the exterior sets could do with some more glue - but that isn't too off-putting. Give it a go.
