Before I got distracted last night by the news of the unknown aircraft that was shot down of the coast of Alaska, I did find some time to watch a classic horror flick. My selection for the afternoon/evening was 1972s Horror Express.
Plot: While on the Trans-Siberian Express, an anthropologist and his rival must contain the threat posed by the former's cargo: a prehistoric ape which is the host for a parasitic life-for.
This movie has to be one of the best films of 1972. Starring horror icons Peter Cushing and Christpher Lee, what more can you ask for? This one comes complete with an intriguing storyline, an array of classic scares, and enough claustrophic atmosphere to keep you entertained throughout. In many ways, this movie is really more than a horror flick touching on a wide variety of topics throughout. Unfortunately, as good as the storyline is, it does have some holes (a lot) and there are a bunch of head-scratching moments, but those are easy to overlook. In them end, this is a must see for horror fans. Yes, there are some things that may feel dated, but that doesn't matter. Sit back and enjoy!
