Murder on the Suddardy Express

In 2004, Suddard fans were treated to the thirteenth Suddard film, Murder on the Suddardy Express, directed by new to Suddard writer, Rimmer Snow. This film detailed the story of Suddard's journey on a train across the country, which to his shock, has another killer onboard.

Synopsis

Suddard is invited by an anonymous person to travel on the Old Man Express across the country. Suddard always jumps at the chance for a free ride and decides to go. On the train he meets seven other people. These are Red King, Blue Queen, Green Castle, Yellow Bishop, Orange Knight, Purple Pawn and White Chess. These people are linked by their names being relevant to chess and colours. Suddard is the odd one out and when the journey begins and White is found brutally murdered in her room, it becomes even worse. Suddard becomes the prime suspect as the other six lock him up. Orange then opens his luggage compartment and is shot in the face with a load of needles. The group then learn that they have been invited onto the boobytrapped train in order to die one by one and that they must find the killer in the group.

Still suspecting Suddard, the group are quickly attacked by a scary entity who throws Purple from the train to his death. Red, Blue, Yellow and Green discover that Suddard has escaped from his prison and Suddard meanwhile has decided to clear his name and catch the real killer. Blue is separated from the group but is burnt by UV train lights. The remaining three band with Suddard after Blue's death. They decide not to let each other out of the room in a way of luring out the killer but when the train goes through a tunnel, Red is killed. Green is quickly outed as the killer and Yellow kills him. The train driver escapes from the train having been paid to abandon his post. Suddard and Yellow hug, having outed the real killer. Suddard then lynches Yellow, killing her.

Just as she dies, she says to Suddard, "but I was certain that you were not the killer."

Suddard replies with the phrase "Lahl," before ending her and jumping from the train as it derails. The film ends with the audience knowing that Suddard is back to being a killer.

Trivia
