A rock
band and a bunch of teens are partying on
a locomotive as they plan to travel to
Las Vegas but the train plans to crash
causing deaths of these people as it is
being controlled by God and Satan as they
have a dispute on who will take over the
world and discuss tales to one another.
In the
first chapter a man named Harry Billings
(John Phillip Law) is sent to an insane
asylum but he realises that women there
are being strapped down, raped, tortured
and then cut up into body parts for money
of what they call treatment plans.
Second
chapter tells the tale of a man named
Glenn Marshall (Rick Barnes) who watches
an Xrated movie starring a lady named
Gretta Connors (Merideth Hayes) as he is
convinced that he will have her but a
scumbag named George Youngmeyer (J.
Martin Sellars) who made her famous won't
let them be together and has a deadly
plan up his sleeve as he is involved
wuith a suicidal cult.
Third
chapter sets the tale of a woman who is
plagued by terrifying moments on a man
named Papini (Maurice Grandmaison) as she
tries to warn others about Satan
returning to earth for a proverbial
apocalypse.
Who
will win this battle?
When I first
watched this anthology I found it to be
extremel;y bad and difficult to
understand. Well.... It's bad and
difficult too
The wraparound story is quite good though
but the first chapter was god awful I
nearly threw up but I can see where they
got the idea to do Hostle
but that film was in much better taste.
The second chapter is very psychotic and
artsy but still extremely twisted and
evil.
The third chapter is the best showing
demonic forces and a good plot which was
the reason I didn't bomb this flick.
There is a good message in the end of the
film that good will always conquer over
evil.
The acting by Ferdy Mayne
and Lu Sifer as God and Satan
having a dispute is well performed and
they show great character acting to their
roles.
The
acting in the first two chapters is
bloody awful and amateurish too.
However,
it picks up in the third chapter as we
have good performances by the late Cameron
Mitchell with good aggression to his
part and a nicely spooked out and
disturbed performance by Faith Clift.
The best one of them all is Maurice
Grandmaison with his over the top
performance as the Antichrist with his
devilish expressions and actions. Being
sneaky and aggressive too.
During the first
chapter many women are naked and strapped
down
The second chapter Merideth Hayes
has her top clothes taken off and her
breasts exposed. She exposes herself
fully in a couple other scenes making out
in bed.
First chapter:
A woman I bloodily stabbed by a
meatcleaver
There are various body pieces in a
laboratory but the gore looks very fake.
Next up, a maniac has his stomach
bloodily slit and is beheaded with blood
gushing out of his neck.
Plenty of blood too.
Second chapter:
A guys eye ball is shot out of his head
A hippie is burnt to a crisp after being
electrocuted in a chair
Third chapter:
An antichrist is at an operating room
table and his insides are revealed
Jay Schlossenberg-Cohen
directs the wraparound story very
well with the teenage cast breakdancing
and performing music on the train while
Ferdy
Mayne and Lu Sifer performs their scenes
together showing great scenes with one
another.
I
wouldn't hire John Carr or even
thinking about changing my mind for the
first chapter as I almost bombed this one
cause of his crappy work in it but he
improves a tiny buit in the second one
but niot a whole lot. However he does
make some scene's very disturbing like
the suicidal ones of the cult ceremony.
The third
chapter was directed by three people
named Tom McGowan, Greg
Tallas and Phillip Mashak
and with all of them combined they did
well showing demonic effects and coaching
Maurice Grandmaison on being
deceivingly evil too.
We have some cheesy 80's
music titled "Everybody But
You", "I'd Have to be
Crazy" and "Both of Us"
performed by a cast member during the
wraparound story named Joe Turano which
really sounds more entertaining.
The music used in the film
is extremely stale and outdated.
