"The Train Stranger" is one of Alfred Hitchcock's most brutal and thrilling works, telling a horror story that may happen. The whole film is compact and exciting. Death and crisis that come at any time threaten the protagonist, making people thrilling and creepy. Director Hitchcock told the audience a true and credible crime story with his peculiar "murder exchange" concept. The filming technique of the film is delicate and true. The whole film is full of black and fantasy spirit, especially the lighters, glasses and other life props that appear in the film many times, which shortens the distance between the film and the audience, making it difficult for the audience to distinguish between true and false. Although there are few thrilling scenes in the film, the successful psychological portrayal, breathless scenes and atmosphere, intensifying contradictions, gradual deepening of suspense and excellent picture processing make people feel more horrible and real. The film deeply reveals the gloom of the inner world of human beings.

Facing the conflict between morality and madness, Kaihen did not Choosing to commit a crime, but in the end he benefited from the death of his wife, the ending is quite ironic. This is exactly what Hitchcock is wise and profound

In fact, the film is good, showing Hitchcock's good at creating atmosphere, grasping the rhythm and paying attention to details. The story itself is also very interesting. The two strangers who met on the train each have haters, and they proposed a plan to exchange murders. The plot did not fully follow the audience's expectations. It's a pity that this film has a big flaw, which will make people feel that everything that follows is superfluous, purely for suspense and suspense. No spoilers here.
