Very interesting and engaging story. The lingering on

Very interesting and engaging story. The lingering on the antagonist's own pain made it drag though.

I’d say to anyone who is a fan

I’d say to anyone who is a fan of this era of horror that they should watch this. Whilst not the best and a bit daft I still enjoyed it. That “Mind the Doors” will be in my head forever

Revelling in the grimy atmospherics of Central London

Revelling in the grimy atmospherics of Central London, Death Line is a brilliant mix of a police thriller and arthouse slasher, melded to a corpse-filled underground world inhabited by cannibals. A raw, visceral and often unflinching exploration of the monstrous, the film lends an intriguing, sympathetic eye toward the underclass symbolised in the form of a wandering cannibal. Equally eerie and deeply sad, you'll never hear the words "mind the doors" the same way ever again. Gary Sherman takes what could be a potentially trashy and ludicrous concept and gives it the A-grade treatment, using the concept as a metaphor for something completely different. The result of his high-minded intentions is a deceptively complex film tailor-made for cult fandom. One that manages to be mysterious, moving, and somewhat melancholy. The directing and photography are simply fab, stylishly grungy, and hauntingly effective, delving deep through the pitch-black, rat-infested tunnels with terrifying fluidity and a deeply unnerving, rumbustiously sleazy musical score to match. Beyond its terror overtones, what ultimately gives the film a tremendous lift is the delightful repartee between Donald Pleasence and Norman Rossington. Pleasence bites into the sardonic possibilities with relish, given free rein to pretty much play Calhoun as he pleases, bouncing off Rossington's Rogers with joy. Although the story takes quite a while to come together, when it does, Death Line is the most fun you can have on the Piccadilly Line since they banned drinking on the tube.
