A US college wrestling team are
taking part in a championship in Eastern Europe. Following a night of partying
that turns rowdy, they arrive late to catch their scheduled train to Odessa.
They are convinced by a young local woman to board another train, where they
will all become the targets of a group of torturers looking to take organs from
tourists to sell them off to buyers who needs them.
I saw the preview for this title ahead of another film and decided to give it a chance. What a boring piece of cinema this is. The only way these slasher films can be made palpable is if they go full-on with the exploitation, be it with gore or with sex. Here, everything happens in the dark shadows and through various subterfuges, so as to suggest rather than show. And most of the acting is pretty bad. The end was somewhat fun, once we see a bit of light, but, other than that, very forgettable.
