What's the matter with John (Dean Sills) that he lives in a railway
carriage? Or maybe he's hiding out in an abandoned chapel, somehow the two
seem to be merged. Whatever it is though, he seems to be hiding out, as
reports on the radio about a brutal crime make him nervous. But while he
might be on the run from the law, he's even more on the run from himself,
from his guilty conscience that brings what he runs from back in bits of
flashback, in form of apparitions, and that doesn't let him leave this
labyrinthine world he has created for himself. The Railway
Carriage is a bit of a mindfuck of a movie - but in the best possible
way: The audience is really thrown into the world of the protagonist, and
until the end is left relatively clueless as to what is going on, and yet
thanks to an atmospheric directorial effort, engaging acting on Dean
Sills' part, who carries the movie on his own, and a haunting soundscape
musical score, the viewer is at the end left freaked out all the same and
has the feeling the story has gotten somewhere (even if that might be
guesswork). Quite a cool movie, actually!
