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.

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.
60
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.

The best that can be said for Horror Express is that it doesn’t take itself at all seriously, and it isn’t too proud to steal outright what other films politely borrow.

Kills and pacing get a little stale in the middle, the performances are great. Has a final 15 minutes that absolutely rips.

"Monster? We're British, you know." A tightly filmed, claustrophobically set, dialogue-brilliant, well done make-up, blessed with several good actors cult-classic adaptation of "Who Goes There?". It's not good enough to have won any awards, but it has certainly set the example for any future movies in the same genre.
