isla s 09/03/2022 I found this quite amusing, with Arthur Askey playing the comic Tommy Gander - most of the comedy comes from him (although not all). The characters are varied and mostly quite pleasant. The comedy is quite gentle (as said, amusing not hilarious) but it certainly entertained me regardless. Its quite a warm hearted film I suppose. The old fashioned special effects/visual effects add a sort of quaintness to it. I enjoyed this film, how the characters both bickered and got on with one another and everything. I would recommend it. See more 05/01/2020 The best surprise in The Ghost Train is that it is not a horror movie as its title and premise would have you believe. It is a comedy and an unexpectedly funny one. Arthur Askey's humor is not at all modern but is just as funny as anything put out today, if not in the same way. His constant joking and buffoonery elevate the movie from being another uninspired 40s horror/mystery.

It''s impossible not to laugh at the (now) corny jokes and admire the timing.

But although that, This movie has never got that much recognition and is pretty underrated. Recommended. See more ashley h @ashleyhobgood87 12/06/2014 Ghost Train is a decent film. It is about a group become stranded at an isolated station and a legendary phantom train that approaches. Kathleen Harrison and Arthur Askey give good performances. The screenplay is a little slow in places. Walter Forde did an alright job directing this movie. I liked this motion picture because of the humor and horror. See more Read all reviews
