Why it matters

A claustrophobic, grisly nightmare set on a speeding train that channels Eastern European body horror and exploitation with brutal practical effects and relentless tension.

  • A visceral mix of Hostel-style torture and Transsiberian’s eerie train setting, delivering a distinctly grimy, Eastern Bloc nightmare.
  • Practical gore effects that recall the golden era of 2000s grindhouse horror — not for the faint-hearted but a feast for splatter fans.
  • Thora Birch anchors the chaos with a grounded performance amid the escalating carnage.
  • For viewers craving a no-frills, brutal survival thriller that leans hard into the dread of being trapped somewhere truly sinister.
