The participants are covered in blood afterwards.

Frightening & Intense Scenes

  • The opening of the series is highly intense as people fight to board the back of the train to save themselves. There is gunfire. People are killed and beaten and hit with axes. When the doors close, it's somewhat intense to see people basically sentenced to death.
  • An avalanche causes the windows in the cattle section to break and therefore all of the occupants in the cart freezes to death. We see several cows slowly freeze to death up close. More upsetting than bloody
  • A woman freezes to death in a train cart. We don´t see her death, only the glass freeze up. We later see her lover crying and screaming after hearing of her death. It is later revealed that she survived.
  • A man is forced to disconnect several carts of the train with a lot of innocent people in them. We see their shocked expressions and then how they begin to freeze to death. Very emotional.
