Forget “Snakes on a Plane”—we’re upgrading to “Demons on a Locomotive.” If you thought Amtrak delays were hell, wait until you see what’s waiting in the dining car of Speed Demon, hitting theaters and digital platforms on May 31, 2026.

The film stars Katie Cassidy (Arrow) and the legendary William H. Macy in a supernatural thriller that gives “express service” a whole new meaning.

Tickets, Please (And a Priest)

When Father Novak and Sister Lu board a standard transport from Montreal to NYC, they were probably just hoping for some legroom and a decent snack cart. Instead, they get Asmodeus, a high-ranking demon with a penchant for possession and a total disregard for the conductor’s schedule.

As the train transforms into a runaway bullet of pure evil, the duo must battle a carriage full of possessed passengers. But there’s a twist: with Father Novak sidelined, Sister Lu is forced to confront her crumbling faith and attempt the unthinkable—the first-ever exorcism performed by a nun.

Behind the Chaos

This balls-to-the-walls film is directed by Jon Keeyes and written by Domenico Salvaggio. As for the vibe these two created, imagine a claustrophobic slasher mixed with The Exorcist, moving at 100 miles per hour.

Now Boarding: Release Details

Mark your calendars for May 31, 2026. Whether you want the full cinematic experience or prefer to hide under your covers at home, you’ve got options: In Theaters (For the big-screen jumpscares), On Demand, and On Digital.

Pro-tip: If you hear someone chanting in Latin in the quiet car, maybe just wait for the next bus.
