Movie Reviews of Terror Train
Movie Review: An awesome horror classic
Summary: 5 Stars
The scream queen Jamie Lee Curtis was so great in this film, I know that she stared in The Fog, Prom Night, Halloween, Halloween 2, And Halloween H20 20:Years later, but then their was only one more horror film I missed that she stared in and it is Terror train and when I saw the trailer for terror train it looked so scary and good, then I bought the movie so I could finally see the film and when I watched it, it was scary and really good, Also poor Jamie because I thought she was gonna get killed by Kenny and her name in this film is Alana Maxwell and also showing the train outside when they film it on the tire track's is really cool because I like train's and it was amazing seeing Halloween on a train which is a great idea from most horror movie's, This film I would give on a scale from 1-10 is a solid 9.5 because everything about it was scary but the only thing I didn't get was the mask's because he first had the mask on this cover of the DVD, but then it changed to an alien creature mask then finally turned into a hunter mask, but everything else was really good for this great horror film, Spoiler alert, but why did Alana kiss Kenny because I know that Kenny wanted the kiss in the beginning of the film but he expects that after everything he did to her friend's and killing them, Last Spoiler alert, thank god that the captain of the train hit Kenny with his shovel twice and then the shovel hit Kenny hard enough so he could get of the train and also fall to his death and then, the movie end's happily because if they killed Jamie's character that would be sad because she's the best, Anyway if your a fan of the scream queen Jamie Lee Curtis you will have to see this film and also her other horror film's which are The Fog, Prom Night, Halloween, Halloween 2, And Halloween H20:20 Years later, This was a great horror movie and Jamie Lee Curtis is a great actress and is great at horror movies and this film will always be a classic.Movie Review: ALL ABOARD FOR SUSPENSE AND TERROR!
Summary: 5 Stars
I remember watching TERROR TRAIN on television at various points in my childhood. I even taped it off of FX five years ago. And now TERROR TRAIN is finally out on DVD and looks better than ever! This movie is just too cool!
Jamie Lee Curtis, one of the best actresses ever to appear in horror movies, is a member of a fraternity of pre-med students who are celebrating a New Year's Eve costume party on board an old-fashioned steam train with Ben Johnson as the conductor. But the party is crashed by a pledge that was subjected to a humiliating prank three years prior. He kills each pledge involved in the prank and disguises himself with the victim's costume. Oh, and David Copperfield is on hand to provide magic to the guests with help from Vanity (aka D.D. Winters).
TERROR TRAIN is terrifying without being overly gruesome, relying on the aftermaths of the killings for any blood. The opening prank alone has the impact of any of Tom Savini's fine effects in FRIDAY THE 13TH. Curtis is great as usual, but Johnson steals the show as the conductor that gets caught in the middle of the mayhem. The highlight of TERROR TRAIN, showcased in the widescreen version, is the camera work from John Alcott who is best known for his work with my favorite director, Stanley Kubrick; Alcott adds the right level of tension and suspense to this film, especially during the climax!
TERROR TRAIN is required viewing for slasher fans and Kubrick buffs alike!
Movie Review: A Great Thrill Ride From Beginning To End!
Summary: 5 Stars
AS we all know actress Jamie Lee Curtis is defintely better known for Prom Night and half of the Halloween series as well! Much of the Halloween series being great and Prom Night being CRAP! However this is another horror/slasher that she was in and unlike Prom Night but very much like the Halloween movies she was in was effective and JUST AWESOME! When you watch this movie what you get is a classic feel and concept of a slasher movie done right with just enough suspense and not too much gore! Basically this is a who done it as well a well acted, well written, mostly believable horror movie and best and most unique of all is it centers around a bunch of fun-loving college students partying(albeit for the last time for much of them) and enjoying the magic tricks of charasmatic magician David Copperfield! In my personal opinion there is really no way that you will really be able to guess who the sly killer is. The murderer in this movie is definitely more clever than most in that not only does he kill the sexy college students but he also steals their party costumes and blends right in! But probably his best disguise is as David Copperfield's female assistant! So if you love 80's horror/slashers as much as I do, enjoyed any of Jamie Lee Curtis's other horror movies or just enjoy a good murder mystery than Terror Train is defintely a train you will not want to miss! All Aboard!Movie Review: Forgotten slasher jewel!
Summary: 5 Stars
It's New Year's Eve and college students are throwing a costume party on a charter train including Alana Maxwell (Jamie Lee Curtis). While everyone is trying to have a good time, there's a party crashing madman on board as he or she is out for blood.
Entertaining and scary low budget Canadian horror thriller that also stars popular magician David Copperfield and Ben Johnson as the conductor, this sometimes bloody slasher flick has decent acting mainly by Curtis and has good cinematography and atmosphere that gives the movie it's eerie mood. What i also liked about this movie is that it's one of the better post-Halloween/Friday The 13th films of the time and has a good ending, this is a must have for slasher fans and a remake will come soon.
This DVD has good picture and sound but the only extra is the theatrical trailer but it's still a good buy for your collection of horror movies.
Also recommended: "Halloween Series", "Friday The 13th series", "Sleepaway Camp", "Psycho (1960)", "Psycho II", "Psycho III", "Maniac (1980)", "Happy Birthday to Me", "The Texas Chainsaw Massacre series and 2003 remake & The Beginning", "A Nightmare on Elm Street", "Scream", "Scream 2", "Tenebre", "Deep Red", "Tourist Trap", "Saw", "Saw 2", "House of Wax (2005)", "Prom Night", "Bloody Birthday", "High Tension", "Phenomena".
Movie Review: All Aboard with Jamie Lee Curtis & Vanity!
Summary: 5 Stars
"Terror Train" was one of my favorite slasher pics from the 80's but I haven't seen it in nearly 20 years! Even more thrilling than finding it on DVD was seeing it again. Wow! This movie still works. The plot is pretty straight forward - psychopath gets revenge on college pranksters, but the combination of the train setting, costume New Years Eve party, and dark winter atmosphere results in an excellent equation.
Jamie Lee Curtis was riding high as the horror queen at the time this was made, fresh off of "The Fog" & "Halloween 1 & 2". As a skilled actress, she definitely brings something more to her roles in these pics than anyone else would have.
Another reason I love this movie is because it features VANITY! Only here she is billed as DD Winters (the same name she used for the soft core romp 'Tonya's Island'). She has a decent sized role and light ups the screen in her sexy Cleopatra costume. After "Terror Train" she hooked up with Prince and became Vanity, then maintained a film career into the early 90's.
Most of the slasher pics that came from the 80's can easily be dismissed as cable filler, but "Terror Train" is not one of them. It's not as scary as "Texas Chainsaw" but it does offer enough thrills to please any horror fan.
