			* Scott Ashlin at 1000 Misspent Hours and Counting (3/5 Stars) ([http://www.1000misspenthours.com/reviews/reviewsh-m/horrorexpress.htm link] - "''Horror Express'' is thus a bit like ''The Asphyx'', ''The Tingler'', or some of the more outré H.G. Wells stories, insofar as it takes a flagrantly ludicrous premise, and proceeds from it in complete earnest."
	* Awix at No Chic.

	* Marty McKee at Johnny LaRue's Crane Shot ([http://craneshot.blogspot.com.au/2014/08/horror-express.html link]) - "The plot by Julian Zimet and Arnaud d’Usseau, who also wrote ''Psychomania'' together, is farfetched and the science is dubious, to say the least, but fast-paced direction by Eugenio Martin ... and a thrilling score by John Cacavas ... make ''Horror Express'' a very entertaining ride. Do I need to mention the expert thesping by the British dynamic duo at the top of the bill and Telly Savalas’ hammy turn as a crude Cossack? ... Clever twists and dark humor abound in ''Horror Express'', but it’s hard to imagine the film working without its lead tandem of Lee and Cushing."		* Marty McKee at Johnny LaRue's Crane Shot ([http://craneshot.blogspot.com.au/2014/08/horror-express.html link]) - "The plot by Julian Zimet and Arnaud d’Usseau, who also wrote ''Psychomania'' together, is farfetched and the science is dubious, to say the least, but fast-paced direction by Eugenio Martin ... and a thrilling score by John Cacavas ... make ''Horror Express'' a very entertaining ride.
