Based on the plots of Ingmar Bergman's The Virgin Spring (1960) and Wes Craven's The Last House on the Left (1972),[1] the film follows two girls riding a train through Germany on Christmas Eve, who are brutalized by three criminals who eventually end up lodging in their parents' home.

Blackie then encounters an upper-class older woman whom he attempts to molest in the toilets, only for her to seduce him aggressively.

Finding a compartment in the last carriage, they settle down for their trip and begin to eat a packed lunch by candlelight.

The men throw Lisa's body out the window, followed by their victims' luggage, stealing their tickets and other items.

While in the car, he hears a radio report naming his daughter as a body found near the train track.

Realizing that his houseguests are responsible, Giulio confronts the woman, who convinces him that the thugs killed the girls and threatened to do the same to her.

Adam Tyner of DVD Talk wrote, "Night Train Murders has a few redeemingly uncomfortable moments that make the numerous comparisons to The Last House on the Left seem deserved.

Still, it suffers from so many flaws—poor pacing, an anemic screenplay, weak overdubbed dialogue, and a tendency to flinch during the sparse brutality—that I can't recommend the movie on its own merits with any great enthusiasm.

"[2] DVD Verdict said, "If Wes Craven's train leaves Connecticut traveling east at 25 mph and Alan Lado's train leaves a station in Verona traveling west at 35 mph, then can a cheap imitation of a film actually be better than the film it's ripping off?

It did not get a full release until 2008 when it was finally passed uncut and distributed on DVD by Shameless Screen Entertainment.
