YMMV / Night Train to Terror

• Awesome Music:
  • While not the most memorable, some of the music is quite atmospheric.
  • All together now: Come on and Dance with me! Dance with me!
• Complete Monster:
  • In The Case of Harry Billings, Dr. Fargo and Dr. Brewer are a pair of doctors in an asylum which Harry finds himself in. Seemingly pleasant people, they brainwash Harry into kidnapping women so that they can be molested, tortured and killed, and then they sell their body parts all around the world. Dr. Fargo then drugs Dr. Brewer's drink, and lobotomizes him, wanting the place and the money for herself and Harry only.
  • From the same segment, Otto is the asylum's orderly, who constantly rapes and molests captive women, even killing three of them, for which he shows no guilt for his deeds.
• Narm: Way too much to describe. It would be easier to just say 'The Entire Movie', but we'll try anyway:
  • At the beginning of The Case of Harry Billings, Harry’s Wife ask him to slow down, in a line that is obviously trying to make her seem scared. Her line delivery, on the other hand? Not so much.
  • When Dr. Fargo tries to stab Harry, she visibly stops for a second, allowing Harry to overpower her, and then she tries again, to no avail. One would expect her to say ''It's not what it looks like?'' to Harry.
  • Harry's and Otto's fight scene is less than great.
  • In The Case of Greta Connors, the bug used by the Death Wish Club is animated using very crude stop-motion.
    • Speaking of the bug, the payoff for the scene where he flies over the participants ends with…the bug flying out the window and stinging a random guy in the park. It's anticlimactic to say the least.
  • The electric chair trap includes a a machine speaking in a robotic voice, explaining the rules. Its random appearance is never questioned.
  • When Glenn tries to fight off the kidnappers, he does so shirtless. It's more silly than it sounds.
  • Speaking of the kidnappers, they defeat Glenn using a fishing net. They apparently had one for Greta, too, since she's also tied up in one later.
  • One of the Death Wish Club members speaks in a weird accent, which sounds like a mix of russian and spanish/italian.
  • In The Case of Claire Hansen, a lot of death scenes have been reshot using stop-motion, and while some debate the overall quality of the animation, it is glaringly obvious when the characters switch real actors to animated.
    • When Jim and Papini die, it's easy to see when the film switches from live action to stop-motion. Also, when Papini's grabbed by the monster, both of them have almost the same height.
    • Easily the worst one is James' death. He's telephatically thrown against a cross and his head burns up, or rather a puppet that is supposed to be James. And if you ask, yes, it is very noticeable.
    • When Lt. Sterne comes near his car, it blows up. Only we see Sterne open the door, then we cut to Olivier watching this and red light shining on his face, and then we see the explosion. Fun fact: This explosion is shown in the exact same way in the full version of the story.
  • Overall, a major problem of the movie is that, being edited from three other movies (one of which was unfinished), the plots for the stories often don’t make a lot of sense, are confusing to follow and understand, have random scenes happening on and on, give little to no information on the characters, their motivations or even their names (there is a voice over trying to help out sometimes, but he appears sparingly and doesn't really help that much), and just feel disjointed. Viewers will either find that downright irritating, making the film a chore to watch, or they might just roll on with it. Either way, it can be agreed upon that it would be better to just come up with some new stories, that would fit the time limit and make more sense.
• Narm Charm:
  • For some viewers, at least, the nonsensical way the stories progress can be fun to watch.
  • The stop-motion effects do have some charm to them, despite their quality.
  • The song Everybody But You, sung by the musicians on the train. Is it cheesy as all heck? Yes. Is it a rather cringe way to appeal to a teenage demographic? Yes. Is it writer Philip Yordan just getting his son Byron a role? Pretty much. Is it inappropriate for a horror movie? Absolutely. But is it also a catchy song that you'll be singing a long time after the film is over? You bet. Come on and Dance with me! Dance with me!

• Took the Bad Film Seriously: Regardless of the film's quality, Ferdy Mayne and Tony Giorgio try to do their best playing God and Satan respectively.
