"It's easy to see why American distributors tried to associate it with the original Last House because it essentially plays out like a follow up with the exact same premise, with only the setting being different. That really isn't how the film should ultimately be defined, though. It's certainly derivative, but it also does a few things differently, mostly in the way of presentation. This film doesn't take the raw, voyeuristic approach of Craven's film; instead, it's a much more stylish and moody piece that's actually quite atmospheric at times. It's a bit listless for the first half hour, but once night falls, the film becomes genuinely creepy and eerie. There's a sort of bleakness that the film is able to capture, both in the train and outside of it, as even the landscapes seem desolate and lifeless." - Brett Gallman, Oh, the Horror!
