"Movies go along like trains in the night" said Truffaut. What a great metaphor. So if you make a movie called Night Train you better have that in mind and show it - moving, through the night, in all it's metaphorical dimension. But how can one seriously have those ridiculous CGI elements in that movie that look like a 90s computer game ? How can you have no extras running around in that train ? It could have been a nice low-budget thriller, pacing and acting is pretty good, it's symbolic dimension makes the story interesting. But unfortunately it looks like production ran out of money before reaching final destination.

Errors of the Human Body
(2012)
realistic and thrilling drama
5 October 2013
Definitely a far underrated movie. Probably disappointed horror fans expecting a straight genre movie are giving bad votes. It takes a while to establish it's world, but then it all contributes to a smart and involving thriller-drama. The way the main character's destiny and realistic experimental genetics are connected is not only fully believable and moving, but develops an intriguing and threatening dimension. Aesthetically and technically the film is surprisingly convincing, camera-work, pacing and music is remarkable. Michael Eklund's lead performance is outstanding. I can recommend that one.
