I try as much as humanly possible to keep my ear to the ground for possible scenes in new upcoming movies. The first poster picture for this movie I saw was on a local Redbox machine, and it looked like Thora Birch was chewing a gag while clawing desperately at a train window.I was deceived though- it's just her hand being held in a weird position close to her face. I'm a fan of Thora Birch and have been since American Beauty.But when I first read about this movie being made I dismissed it as another remake of an 80's horror movie, but then it was announced they were taking the script in a new direction my hope renewed despite the fact it was going straight to DVD.
I should have held onto my disappointment, because they essentially took the plot for Turistas about healthy young people being chopped up for organ transplants and put it onto an East European train. Visceral violence galore and there was a smidgen on bondage for Miss Birch, she gets strapped down briefly to an autopsy table to be raped, but she gets a loose and cuts her assailants throat. :(
