Horror Express

About This Movie

Horror Express (2025) dives into a unique premise where Joo Hyunjoo, a YouTuber, fakes supernatural phenomena for views – a commentary on modern media culture, really. The film's atmosphere is dark and claustrophobic, heightened by its setting on a train, which adds to the tension and pacing. There are some solid practical effects that remind you of classic horror, and the performances by the trio – Joo, her brother Hyunsoo, and his girlfriend Soyeon – bring a relatable edge to their unsettling circumstances. The struggle between authenticity and fabrication plays out in ways that feel quite timely, giving it a distinct flavor that's both eerie and thought-provoking.
