6/10

Peter Cushing is spookily menacing here as "Dr. Schreck" who joins a group of passengers on a late night train journey where he offers to read their tarot cards. Despite the sceptical objections of fellow traveller Christopher Lee ("Marsh") he proceeds to read to each fellow passenger a future full of, well, terror... The film acts out each scenario as depicted by the doctor's tales in graphic, gory - though, it has to be said not very scary, detail. The supporting cast deliver these well - especially Phoebe Nicholls and Bernard Lee; Roy Castle not so much. I can't help but think it would have been so much more effective in black and white, but it is still quite a fun watch with plenty to keep it interesting and it's nice to see Lee out of bandages!
