As somebody who had not heard any of this before, it became a curious phenomenon to sit and watch a film and slowly have the realities begin to click into place.

The movie's neither hopeful in contrived ways, nor hopeless in different contrived ways. Somehow it manages to be wonderful

The plot isn't so bad, but the pace of storytelling is too slow which makes people bored. Certain moments are so obvious and unnecessary for the main plot. I would've fast-forwarded those moments if it was an online streaming. The ending looks like implying a sequel, not sure if this movie will get one

After a brilliantly suspenseful first half, the film deteriorates into silliness. All the characters act stupidly, which is just not normal behavior, and the creatures are more comical than scary. (Great tension and atmosphere in the first half).

Attention, spoilers ahead...This is a good movie for suspense, but some of the things in this really don't add up. The movie lets viewers know that the moon is responsible for what is happening, just like any other werewolf movie, but what doesn't add up is that after night wears on the creatures are still creatures. What is the point of showing the moon as the culprit reason when the creatures don't resort back to human. Otherwise, great movie with loaded horror and classic horror.

Unconvincing horror movie about train passengers stuck on a train stopped in a supposed forest, set upon by a band of werewolves. Or something like werewolves -- it's not exactly clear what these creatures are, nor where they come from, nor how they manage to survive in what looks more like a tame park than wilderness. Given that England obliterated most of its forests centuries ago, it can be challenging to execute the human vs. nature motif in films set there, but lots of movies have managed it nicely, from some Hammer horror films to "An American Werewolf in London." This one doesn't quite manage it. Unfortunately, it doesn't manage much else either, except a few tense scenes from time to time. The actors, led by "Downton Abbey"'s Ed Speleers. do what they can to breath some individuality into the stock characters they are stuck playing, but the script, the direction and even the costuming don't do much to make any of them memorable or interesting. I found it difficult to work up much concern about whether the mostly likable characters lived or the mostly unlikable characters died.There are, at least, some decent production values and some good moments when the action ramps up. You have to sit through a slow start which, in a better movie, would be spent establishing something unique about the various assorted train passengers and crew, and a lot of wheel-spinning. The creature design is fine, but not so inspired as to make this a must-see for creature feature fans. All in all, while mildly and intermittently entertaining, this is a big "meh."

I should have known it's a waste of time watching a horror film of British extraction: they're notoriously mediocre, often quite boring. The horror flick that wants to be more a character study than to deliver thrills, which already reveals the director's inferiority complex. You see, he'd probably much rather direct dramas, but is "forced" to do some horror films first to get his foot in the door. Or something like that. The baby wants Oscars and other hollow accolades, as they all do. It's as if only egomaniacs and insecure losers go into film these days.There's the usual nonsense we associate with this type of horror flick. For one thing, the Britishers are more concerned with arguing and fighting each other than battling the monsters – to the extent where they want to actually kill each other, which only makes the film dumb as well as dull.But the award for Dumbest Scene In A 2015 British Horror Film goes to the scene when the stewardess reaches a station – all bloodied and scared (her, not the station) – and yet everyone there ignores her. A pretty daft touch to round off a fairly forgettable and unoriginal flick.Besides, is there nothing better to do than yet another predictable, unoriginal monsters-on-the-loose story? No other plot ideas? Might as well change one's job from film-maker back to pizza-delivery-boy if the height of your creativity is the zillionth version of a monster killing off passengers of a bus/train/airplane/bicycle/whatever. Boy meets girl? Nobody gives a hoot about that in a horror film.The British really need to stick to what they do best: comedy.No, wait. They suck at that too now.
