Snakes on a Train

“First planes... Now trains!”

Premium Crap. CrapScore 78, rated by 1 admin.

Higher CrapScores mean more entertainingly bad. How we score movies.

Why it’s crap
A curse causes a woman to produce snakes while travelling towards a possible cure by train. This mockbuster uses its confined setting for an increasingly impossible reptile outbreak. The title promises a modest change of transport, but the plot has much stranger ambitions.

Synopsis and movie facts

Under a powerful Mayan curse, snakes are hatched inside a young woman, slowly devouring her from within. Her only chance for survival is a powerful shaman who lives across the border. With only hours to live, she jumps on a train headed for Los Angeles. Unfortunately for the passengers aboard, they are now trapped, soon to be victims of these flesh-eating vipers.
