Matt Zoller Seitz New York Times In Takeshi Furusawa's Ghost Train, a group of high school students tries to unravel a mystery that leads the teenagers into the bowels of their city. Rated: 2.5/5 Jun 6, 2007 Full Review Rob Humanick Slant Magazine Ghost Train's opening shot recalls the roaring spirits of Sam Raimi's Evil Dead films, but it is, unfortunately, the sole example of what might have otherwise been a favorable comparison. Rated: 1.5/4 May 28, 2007 Full Review Maitland McDonagh TV Guide The occasional eerie moment can't elevate this routine piece of by-the-numbers J-horror above the pack.

Audience Member Not the worst J-Horror flick out there, trust me. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 01/26/23 Full Review Audience Member Absolutely unterrifying. Ghost train is a disappointing J-Horror about a mysterious railway pass where people have gone missing. The plot was confusing and acting was even worse. Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 02/01/23 Full Review Audience Member Oguri Shun, Sawajiri Ekira and Chinatsu Wakatsuki give really compromised performances, but not even that can save the cliché-filled train-wreck that Otoshimono is. Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 01/28/23 Full Review Audience Member there are so many questions left.... the story plot was very easy and cenderung too simple. setannya adoh.... lebih nakutin mbak Kunti kmana2... ck! pengen gw balikin DVDnya Rated 1 out of 5 stars 02/03/23 Full Review Audience Member This train never quite leaves the station. It's slow, occasionally internally inconsistent, and laced with teenage melodrama about friendship and the ever-present Japanese cell phone. In a nutshell, a woman got run over by a train and gave birth to a baby in the process. The woman is now haunting other train passengers who find one of her two cursed objects, a railway pass and a bracelet. They're proxies for her lost baby, or something... Really, though, this is entirely by-the-numbers J-horror about yet another vengeful ghost stalking yet another bunch of high school girls. There's a single passing allusion to Lovecraft (the heroine is applying for college at Miskatonic University in one scene), but there are no real Lovecraftian elements to be found here. For some reason, the construction workers who built this particular tunnel started cutting through "something dangerous." What that something is, although the film's climactic scene makes it seem like it was a cemetery. The woman who got killed on the tracks here somehow tapped into that cemetery and bodies come back to life, and the dead return home as ghosts because they want what's theirs... well, it's kind of a mish-mash, really. Ghost Train is Red Eye meets The Ring. The viewer is likely to spend this trip in the sleeper car. There are a couple of effective horror scenes, but the story stretches on forever. Add a star if you're into teen melodrama.
