Last Stop on the Night Train (1975)

Dir- Aldo Lado

One of the most influential and often copied movies was Ingmar Bergman's 1960 drama The Virgin Spring. Wes Craven's first movie, The Last House on the Left, was the first of many films that utilized the premise of a murdered innocent and the violent justice met on the criminals. Italian director Aldo Lado's revenge horror movie "L'ultimo treno della notte" improves on Craven's controversial film by setting the events on a train from Germany to Italy and having the violent assault on the young women occur in transit. The rest of the film follows the plot of Last House, only changing the ways the perpetrators are dealt with in the end. In 1975, Last Stop on the Night Train joined a collection of revenge films similar to Last House, and it was considered one of the better revenge movies of that era. Lado's film was released in several markets with titles such as Night Train Murders, The New House on The Left, Second House on The Left, Don't Ride on Late Night Trains, Late Night Trains, Last House Part II, and Xmas Massacre.
