D-Railed - Zugfahrt in die Hölle

Seriously the worst produced and written movie ever. 48 awards and 15 nominations? Is it April Fools Day? Please watch it, so you can learn a valuable lesson... Awards mean nothing when rating a movie!

Went back and forth on this one. At first I really liked it. Then, after the titular train wreck, I wanted to punch half the characters (not the actors) for their mindless panic and poor choices. A bit later, during the third act, I started to "get" what the story was going for. One thing that helps a lot is to re-filter what you've watched with the revelations near the end. Admittedly, I laughed at moments that I wasn't supposed to, but honestly, if you think of this as an overlong Twilight Zone ep, it's really not that bad. Kinda good, after a fashion.

At points in the film, I couldn't wait for it to be over, but ultimately, I have to admit I enjoyed myself, and don't regret watching it. Whether that's a dig or a backhanded compliment I dunno. Had I read this as, say, a short story, I bet it would have been excellent, and the cast were decent actors for the most part (the kid certainly has a future in front of a camera), so I'm not entirely sure what caused it not to fully "gel." Maybe it was the anachronisms (can't elaborate without spoiling things), or perhaps the overwhelming sense that a twist is imminent from early on.

The ending, when it goes completely off the rails (pun intended).

Some terrible acting (even Lance Hendricks is totally phoning it in) but a wicked monster and some funny/gory deaths.

But the terrible ending brought it down from a 7 or 8/10 to a 4/10.

The first 3 reviews of this film give it 10/10, so something definitely stinks to high heaven. I'm the 4th reviewer and won't be giiving it a 10. Watch it and you'll see why!

This is not a good movie by any means but it's strangely watchable. While on a train ride that goes off track a group of murder mystery gamers who have been hijacked. Soon after they crash into a river and find themselves hunted by some cool ass creatures that are quite impressive especially considering the budgetary constraints. The concept sounds cool but they never really do it justice. Theres dome fun bits here and there but it's never really scary and it all can be a bit confusing especially the trying to hard ending. Had they kept it simplistic they have pulled off a little gem. Instead it's just overly mediocre but there are definitely worse ways to pass the time.

4/10
