Snakes on a Train

The atmosphere is drenched in tension, especially as the Mayan curse unfolds. You really feel the pacing kick in once the train takes off and time starts to run out for the main character. The practical effects, especially the snake sequences, have that gritty charm typical of mid-2000s creature features. Performances range from earnestly committed to delightfully over-the-top. It captures that unique blend of horror and dark humor, making it stand out in the realm of horror cinema that embraces its silliness.
