Also known as 'Last Stop on the Night Train', this was banned in the UK in 1976, only surfacing once Shameless dusted it off and released it on DVD.
At first, you might well wonder what all the fuss was about. What begins as an untidy-looking production, we witness sinister activity on a train, from a couple of youths notable for their distinct lack of menace. But this isn't mere hooligan behaviour here. They progressively become more abhorrent as time goes along, and Director Aldo Lado is in no hurry to move on from their deeds. The fact that their behaviour seems to be controlled by the main antagonist makes things even more distasteful.
That the shocking events are carried out in such measured tones also means that various horrors are both disturbing and on occasion, highly satisfying. Once used to the mindset of the villains, it's easy for us to want the very worst for them.
A good cast, and some beautifully foggy cinematography - my score is 8 out of 10.
