An English anthropologist has discovered a frozen monster in the frozen wastes of Manchuria which he believes may be the Missing Link. He brings the creature back to Europe aboard a trans-Siberian express, but during the trip the monster thaws out and starts to butcher the passengers one by one.

Horror Express is a Spanish low-budget production that has rightfully achieved the status of a cult classic. It is also among the very best of numerous films that showcase the acting talents of horror legends Christopher Lee and Peter Cushing. Their brilliant acting, together with claustrophobic atmosphere, plenty of gore and a genuinely scary monster make for an extremely thrilling ride that is impossible to forget.
