Christopher Lee, Peter Cushing, Alberto de Mendoza
An English anthropologist (Christopher Lee) 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 ...( read more

Essentially, this is an unofficial adaptation of John W. Campbell's Who Goes There?, the 1938 sci-fi novella on which The Thing from Another World and John Carpenter's remake were based - read it here, if you're interested: http://www.geocities.com/Hollywood/Highri...( read more)
Apart from lots of bleeding "ping-pong ball eyed" victims, and a couple of autopsies where you get to see a rubbery brain, the film is low on gore but high on entertainment value.
A cool, exciting horror film that takes place on a train. It's a beautiful-looking movie but most prints do not reveal this (since most of the them are cheap, public domain transfers.) Find the Image DVD and prepare to be amazed if you've only seen the film on cheap DVDs or VHS.
A great Drive In type movie filmed back in 1972 with such great stars as Christopher Lee, Peter Cushing, and Telly Savalas. A geologist is carrying a fossil which are the remains of a creature from outer space, trouble is the fossil is alive. It is boarded up in a box which pr...( read more)
This is one train ride you can avoid...Cushing and Lee do a decent job with their parts, but for the most part a weak script and slow pacing brings this ride to an early halt...stop the train I wanna get off...
Peter Cushing and Christopher Lee star in this B grade horror film where an intelligent alien virus laying dorment on a prehistoric man brings the beast to life and starts killing the passengers on the train.
There is some odd editing in this one where in some scenes it's hard t...( read more)
I saw the edited version on The Midnight Monster Hop. I liked it. It was more psychological horror than the gore based movies of today.
It was an old, but not such a goody. The actor selection was great-just not the script. You might enjoy this one if you do not expect too much more than B quality.
Christopher Lee and Peter Cushing in classic form. Lot's of great lines and cheesy science vs religion debate amid the killings. Even if you're not an old school horror fan, this is a fun Saturday fright night movie date.
This is rediculous. Even Telly Savalas gets his part in this. I guess I'm to use to the newer films that are much better acted and have splendid "horror" scenes. One person said, "Some quirky editing and the (possibly unique) opportunity of seeing Messrs Cushing and Lee battling ...( read more)
It was a good movie I seen it when I was a kid and it freaked the hell out of me!
Very good movie. one of the first of which the monster actually gave me the chills.
Good acting by Lee, even better acting by Cushing.
