The premise

Mysterious and unearthly deaths start to occur while Professor Saxton is transporting the frozen remains of a primitive humanoid creature he found in Manchuria back to Europe.

Horror Vault's take

On a snow-blasted Trans-Siberian express, a renowned anthropologist's prized discovery — a frozen prehistoric specimen — proves far more dangerous than any fossil has a right to be. Passengers begin dying under inexplicable circumstances, and the sealed carriages offer nowhere to run. Two rival scientists must set aside their egos and pool their expertise as the body count climbs toward the final station. Classic horror icons Christopher Lee and Peter Cushing anchor this stylish, claustrophobic creature feature that blends gothic atmosphere with creeping cosmic dread.
