Scary.
The pace
Fast-moving, at 1 hr 25 min.
What might put you off
Made in 1941: an older pace and style.

Mismatched travellers are stranded overnight at a lonely rural railway station. They soon learn of local superstition about a phantom train which is said to travel these parts at dead of night, carrying ghosts from a long-ago train wreck in the area.
