Amok Train (1989) – the last of the great, unhinged Eurohorror movies, this shot-in-Yugoslavia head-scratcher is weird, makes no sense, and is as stupid as a bag of hammers…but it’s never boring. Bo Svenson (Inglorious Bastards, Delta Force, Walking Tall 2) plays a professor who takes his California students to the Balkans for a study session. First stop: a Satanic cult’s secret ceremony. Oops. The kids flee onto a train (!?!) which becomes possessed (?!!!?!?!?) and then a whole carload of gloopy, gory, inventive special effects gets dumped all over everyone’s face. Imagine a Euro-fever dream version of the typical “teens in trouble” horror movie and you’re in the right ballpark. It doesn’t make a lick of sense, but it goes down great with a six-pack. (Watch it!)
