Speed Demon doesn’t ask a lot from you except that you come along for the ride, and that’s an offer that’s hard to turn down.

Amusing at first, it’s rarely frightening enough to generate meaningful suspense while hurtling toward a predictable destination.

3/5

Part possession movie, part runaway train thriller, it delivers a surprisingly polished and wildly entertaining ride. It balances cliché and camp with enough craft to keep the whole thing from going off the rails.

The only race against time here is how quickly you'll be fighting sleep, defying the adage about how it's impossible to look away from a trainwreck.

3/5

Convincingly effective as both nun and demon fighter, Katie Cassidy lends her considerable grace to a role that may initially sound risible, yet proves to be soundly entertaining in a swiftly-moving B-movie vein.

Like many a familiar rail service, it suffers from delays and nothing quite works as it should – but hey, it’ll still get you from A to B.

I wouldn't exactly say that a runaway train, a demon possession, and a nun with a crisis of faith were prime examples of plausibility, but they did keep me entertained all the way down to the end. Katie Cassidy is serviceable in her role as Sister Lu, which could easily have been one she did poorly. William H. Macy lends reality to this tale of doomed romance. I like most the problem of redemption and faith in the midst of chaos. The film is not too serious, but also contains horror, action, and some dark humor. The pacing is inconsistent, and there are some scenes that are campier than scary, but the strange environment and constant on-screen tension make for a hoot. But this isn't going to turn into a horror movie classic, so if you want to distract yourself with a demon-on-a-train experience, then Speed Demon will provide enough action to make the trip worth it.

Speed Demon is a high-energy, action-heavy ride that’s more about thrills than story. It delivers excitement in bursts, but it’s best enjoyed as a quick, adrenaline-fueled watch rather than a deep or memorable drama.
