(1967, Anamorphic Widescreen) Allan Edwall, Lars Ekborg, Karl-Arne Holmsten, Heinz Hopf, Elsa Prawitz. This psychological horror thriller has been described as a “Giallo film shot in Sweden.” The central action takes place on board a speeding train, where numerous gruesome killings take place. Who is the killer? There are numerous depraved and drunken passengers who are suspects. On the surface, Sleeping Car Killer appears to be a taut murder mystery; but its overall atmosphere and countenance also place it in the horror genre, as denoted by IMDB. This is a very cool little chiller. Directed by Arne Mattsson. Now available with English subtitles. From 35mm.
