Audience Member como no hay subtitulos, no entendí muy bien la trama, pero es pasable. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/31/23 Full Review Audience Member Cool opening credits are the highlight of this stinker about a haunted railcar converted into an apartment that has a sofa with deadly coils. In retrospect, Jeff Conaway's comment about needing to get "pickled" leaves a bad taste. Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 02/13/23 Full Review Audience Member Poor David Naughton. You were so cool in An American Werewolf in London and here you are slumming in this awful piece of dreck. A train engineer haunts the railway car that's been converted into Naughton's college apartment cuz some kid once had sex on his train...or something. Terrible dialog, terrible plot, terrible performances. Jeff Conway as the sexed up journalism professor is rage inducingly annoying. VF. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 02/10/23 Full Review Audience Member Trying to cash in on David Naughton's success in American Werewolf in London did The Sleeping Car absolutely no justice. Not only did he have the same, one-liner "charm" there was also a dream within a dream sequence, sorry Douglas Curtis, it's just not going to work. Jeff Conaway and Kevin McCarthy were so over-the-top it was almost unbearable. Honestly, it's just a bunch of spliced scenes with cheesy flashes of ghosts. Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 02/12/23 Full Review Audience Member I love trains so it would be awesome to live in a trailer car but if I saw what the guy saw after he pulled back the sheet, I would've been gone.The Sleeping Car was alright.Its definitely not 1 of the 80's best horror movies but worth watching if you love 80's horror flicks Rated 2 out of 5 stars 01/23/23 Full Review Audience Member A horrendous cross between Nightmare On Elm Street and The Exorcist. The script and acting are just terrible. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 02/17/23 Full Review Read all reviews
