Imagine a classic horror film that Hammer Films never made. A grand epic from the studio's heyday, a blend of the old Dracula and Frankenstein films and The Death Cards of Dr. Schreck. Four passengers meet on a train journey through Eastern Europe during World War I; confronted with a mystery that must be solved if they want to survive. As the Angel of Death travels through the war-torn land, they must uncover: What is in the coffin that everyone fears so much? What is the tragic secret of the veiled Red Countess who is traveling with them? Why is their fellow traveler, the Brigadier General, so feared by his own men? And what exactly is the secret of the diabolical Angel of Death himself? Bizarre creatures, satanic rites, frightened passengers, and the romance of a train journey... in style.
