On her way to school, high school girl Nana sees a train accident. Then Nana and her friend Kanae start to come across various bizarre phenomena, including red fingerprints and a female spirit who 'lives' on the station platform. One day, Nana's younger sister is lost, and the only possibility seems to be that she had been taken by these spirits. The missing tracks. The predictions that a mysterious woman makes.
Ghost Train presents a chilling premise of cursed train cards and a vengeful spirit haunting passengers, yet rushes its setup and relies more on exposition than atmosphere. Although the mystery behind the tunnel and the entity is eventually explained, limited tension, uneven performances—including Erika Sawajiri as Nana—and underdeveloped lore weaken the overall impact. Despite a clear narrative and solid technical aspects, the film feels like a missed opportunity that never fully realizes its haunting potential.
