What happens

Last Stop on the Night Train (Italian: L'ultimo treno della notte), also released in English-speaking countries as Night Train Murders and Late Night Trains, is a 1975 Italian rape-and-revenge horror film directed by Aldo Lado and starring Flavio Bucci, Macha Méril, and Irene Miracle. Based on the plots of Ingmar Bergman's The Virgin Spring (1960) and Wes Craven's The Last House on the Left (1972), the film follows two girls riding a train through Germany on Christmas Eve, who are brutalized by three criminals who eventually end up lodging in their parents' home. It gained notoriety when it was banned in the UK as a video nasty in the 1980s. Other alternate release titles include The New House on The Left, Second House on The Left, and Don't Ride on Late Night Trains. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
