"ALL ABOARD" -- "Next Stop --- Hell"........

Clive Barker is awesome -- This ride begins with a dark eerie feel and takes you by surprise in so many different areas.

The CGI isn't as bad as most puts out -- as a matter of fact -- I think this is a very good use of the CGI...

Once you see the introduction murder -- what most refer to as the Hammer scene -- you will not want to leave your seat. You just can't wait to see whats going to happen next, then when you do --- its a ride you'll never forget -- This is one for the books.... Next Stop -- Hell --because the twilight zone has nothing on this train ride.

7 out of 10 and I'm not one to give a 7 on most movies.

See it for yourself -- If you are a fan of horror -- If not -- then steer clear -- its definitely NOT for you!!!!!!!!!!!

See you at the movies.
