What Is Devil’s Express About?

The premise of Devil’s Express without spoilers.

A 50,000‑year‑old death curse begins stalking New York’s subways. Kung‑fu student Luke and his friend Rodan go to China for training, where Rodan steals an ancient amulet that had sealed an evil spirit. The spirit escapes, possesses a victim and follows them back, killing commuters underground. Luke must apply his martial‑arts mastery to undo Rodan’s mistake and stop the killings.
