Lightdeossk Captivating movie !

Lancoor A very feeble attempt at affirmatie action

Glucedee It's hard to see any effort in the film. There's no comedy to speak of, no real drama and, worst of all.

gavin6942 Jason (David Naughton) moves into an abandoned train car where he resurrects the vicious ghost of his landlady's dead husband... The Mister (John Carl Buechler). After some near-fatal encounters with the violent specter he seeks local exorcist Vincent Tuttle (Kevin McCarthy).Another review called this film "a snooze". A snooze? With Kevin McCarthy, David Naughton and effects master John Carl Buechler? How could a film with these three horror giants be a snooze? The constant wisecracks, the older journalist returning to school... plenty of potential for a good ghost story here, with 1980s comedy thrown in.Even John Bowen, who concedes the film is charming and endearing, believes the film is greatly flawed. He says the movie is "trying way too hard to be clever", is full of continuity problems and has a premise that is "vague and arbitrary". That last concern pretty much sums up the horror genre. Bowen is especially hard on writer Greg Collins O'Neill ("Tuff Turf"), but there is always that question of how much you can blame dialogue on the writer and how much has been reworked by the director or actors.The effects are very cool, as should be expected. The Mister emerging from the walls, the use of seat springs to drill through a man... this is more than a ghost story, it is a bloody killing spree.

Claudio Carvalho Jason McCree (David Naughton) has just divorced from his wife and although being over-aged, he decides to study journalism. He rents an old sleeping car of a train for living. However, the car is possessed by the spirit of the husband of his landlady, called "The Mister", who was responsible for the collision of two trains in an horrible accident ten years ago. "The Sleeping Car" is a confused B-movie with a non-sense screenplay full of flaws and bad acting of the lead actor, David Naughton. There are some few good lines, but the story is a complete mess, without explanation for most of the situation. My vote is three.Title (Brazil): "O Expresso Macabro" ("The Macabre Express")

Coventry "The Sleeping Car" is a pretty insignificant and worthless horror film that is made endurable by a couple of nice special effects and a neat supporting role by Kevin McCarthy. The plot revolves on an over-aged journalism student Jason (David McNaughton from "American Werewolf in London) who rents an old, refurnished train carriage to live in. This carriage – the sleeping car – is possessed by the spirit of "the Mister", the landlady's late husband who was responsible for a huge train crash ten years earlier. The screenplay doesn't make that much sense, but you can hardly consider that an obstacle in early 90's horror movies. There's some nice murdering and the female lead Judie Aronson is yummy. What's really annoying about the "the Sleeping Car" are the constant witty remarks of protagonist Jason McCree. He uses a supposedly funny one-liner every time his character does or says something. Even in the climax, when he's fighting (?) the demon, he interrupts the action for a lousy remark...Very annoying.

millennia-2 ''The Sleeping Car' is by no means a good film. It's slow moving, lacks any atmosphere, and gets rather tedious at times, but it still manages to deliver the goods, or at least some of them. The production values are passable, but far from bad, and the script works to a degree, but for some reason the pieces don't fall into place as they should. The body count is only four, making it too tame to be a slasher movie (though it does hint at that, especially during the overlong climax), but too juvenile to be a psychological thriller/horror film.The acting isn't bad, but it sure isn't all that great. It seems like the actors were booked for three or four days for filming, and just wanted to get it over with, so they didn't seem to put a lot of effort into it. No one in particular stands out, and the characters don't make the movie any more interesting. On top of that, none of the characters are very well developed, with the exception of the professor, so that does little to help the cause.Still the movie does have several things working for it, not the least of which is some pretty impressive special effects for a movie of this caliber. Another is the creative and very gruesome death scenes, which may be the best part of this 'not quite there, but close' horror flick6/10
