- Who'll love it
- Best for fans of close encounters and horror fans. The aliens are the hook, but the human reactions are the story. Shelve it next to Invasion of the Body Snatchers or Creature from the Black Lagoon.
- The mood
- Scary.
- The pace
- Keeps the tension tight, at 1 hr 30 min. An easy one to fit in on a school night.

- Skip it if you like your stories firmly grounded in the real world.
A new super train is built when a meteorite crashes near by, releasing a tiny creature. Once it kills and consumes everyone on board the train, it begins to grow and multiply into hordes of different creatures.
