Ghost Train presents a chilling premise of cursed train cards and a vengeful spirit haunting passengers, yet rushes its setup and relies more on exposition than atmosphere. Although the mystery behind the tunnel and the entity is eventually explained, limited tension, uneven performances—including Erika Sawajiri as Nana—and underdeveloped lore weaken the overall impact. Despite a clear narrative and solid technical aspects, the film feels like a missed opportunity that never fully realizes its haunting potential.
