Oct 091980
Several years after a prank goes terribly wrong, a group of students have their last college party on a train, with an uninvited killer. As her friends start dropping, Alana (Jamie Lee Curtis) runs for her life.
Quick Review: It isn’t that this is particularly worse than the average Slasher film, but that it IS the average Slasher film. There is absolutely nothing new, different, or exciting. It’s all been done before. Yes, even in 1980, this was recycled. The characters are dull stereotypes; there is some blood (but nothing shocking), a minute amount of skin, some uninspired murders, and the usual screams. The murderer is obvious early on, even wearing different masks, and his acts are impossible (it’s a train! How does he manage to get from one end to the other without passing anyone?). Decent productions values, Jamie Lee Curtis, and David Copperfield save Terror Train from the depths, but there is simply no reason to watch it.
