Scott Tobias

Poised on the edge of camp, Horror Express nimbly cycles through genres, with drawing-room mystery and procedural elements bleeding into Universal-style monster effects and science-fiction hokum. Read full review

TV Guide Magazine Staff (Not Credited)

At least as much science fiction as horror, Horror Express has become a favorite in both genres and deservedly so. It's fast-paced, inventive, and wholly entertaining. Read full review

Staff (Not Credited)

An inferior reworking of The Thing from Another World, which still manages to keep interest alive despite some poor special effects, a flat jokiness and stereotype characters. Read full review

Budd Wilkins
