NIGHTMARE EXPRESS | Offscreen
06:30 pm: The foyer is open, welcome for a drink.
08:30 pm: TRAIN TO BUSAN
Welcome aboard this night train with three horror films on the tracks! Keep your ticket handy! First stop: just when the zombie genre seemed to have run out of steam, Yeon Sang-ho surprised everyone with his Train to Busan. A tightly directed, action-packed film starring Gong Yoo and Ma Dong-seok, well-known to those who have given Korean cinema a chance in recent years.
Sang-ho Yeon, 2016, 118', Original Version: Korean / Subtitles: English
10:30 pm: CREEP
Stay seated? Second stop of the Nightmare Express: with Creep, we're bending the rules a bit, as the London Underground is not a train, but did you know that the first subways also used regular trains? This horror reveals more gruesome and shocking secrets lurking there. After this film, you'll look at those very dark tunnels with a hint of suspicion.
Christopher Smith, 2004, 85', Original Version: English / Subtitles: Dutch
00:30 am: HORROR EXPRESS
The final destination of Ciné Rio's night train – for those who make it – is the delightfully classic Horror Express, inspired by the same short story as The Thing! An extraterrestrial and malevolent entity does more than just punch tickets on a Trans-Siberian locomotive in 1906. Fortunately, on board are Telly 'Kojak' Savalas, Peter Cushing, and Christopher Lee, who conjure up the atmosphere of the famous Hammer horror.
Eugenio Martín, 1972, 90', Original Version: English / Subtitles: English
