Movie Reviews of Terror Train
Movie Review: Party Pooper...
Summary: 4 Stars
Jamie Lee Curtis (Halloween, Halloween 2, The Fog) plays a college gal who is tricked into playing a sick joke (involving a cadaver) on a freshman frat pledge. Three years later, all is forgotten, as the fraternity brothers and their girlfriends hop aboard a rented steam train for a big New Year's Eve costume bash. Little do they know, someone has killed one of their pals and taken his place! So, one by one, he fools his victims into getting close enough to kill. Then, he puts on their costume and assumes their identity (It's a neat trick, and is similar in effect to the scene in Halloween where P.J. Soles mistakes Michael for her boyfriend)! Jamie Lee is convincing enough to make up for some of the shabby acting around her. Ben Johnson (Sugarland Express) is solid as the concerned conductor. David Copperfield is only mildly annoying as the magician (what else?). TERROR TRAIN chugs along at an enjoyable pace, never stopping long enough to become tedious. I recommend it to all Jamie Lee Curtis fanatics out there (like me). Well worth owning...Movie Review: A STANDOUT
Summary: 4 Stars
If this movie were to come out today, it would be a hit. There is so much more in a bloody towel or a blood trail rather than someone being disemboweled every three seconds. This is a classic . This movie tells a story, as opposed to a superhuman killer who only wants antoher sequel. Jammie Lee Curtis is always a believable plus. This movie carried a ring of realism that this could actually happen in it. One can easily relate to one character or another. I would recommend this movie to fans of the first Friday the 13th movie, Halloween 1,2, H2O, My Bloody Valentine and Prom Night. If you are a big fan of the superkillers franchises like Feddy Krueger,Jason and the Jamie Lee Curtisless Halloweens, then you may not like this one. This one is a throwback to the days when the good guys prevailed over the evil killers before they singned longterm contracts. Get this one for your collection.Movie Review: Who else is on the Train
Summary: 4 Stars
The movie starts at a New Years Eve party. One of the pledges Kenney is told that Alana, (played by Jamie Lee Curtis), wants him. The whole thing is setup by Doc, one of the pre-med students. Little does Alana know, but Doc is playing another cruel joke and Kenny winds up in bed with a corpse. He freaks out and starts screaming. The next scene is three years later with the same students are getting ready to graduate. In celebration they decide to have a party on a train. However, someone else boards the train and students start turning up dead.
David Copperfield plays the magician.
If you like the slasher movies of the 80's then you like Terror Train. It is suspenseful, scary at times but it also has humorous moments. I do enjoy the killer wondering around in the Groucho Marx mask.
Movie Review: Enough atmosphere to satiate devoted horror fans...
Summary: 4 Stars
This film can withstand repeated viewings even by the most scrutinizing horror film fanatics. Upon first watching it in the eighties, it left an impression on me. Since then, I dust it off and view it every so often, always finding something different that I didn't notice before. It has lost its gloss over time, but it really exemplifies a period in horror film production that can't be ignored. Of course, Jamie Lee Curtis is there to give it star power. But beyond that, the claustrophobic train and the Hitchcockian themes lend itself to a nice engaging mystery. And the ending is a real surprise. If you are over-saturated with "Halloweens" and "Friday the 13ths", this serves as a nice diversion.Movie Review: much better than it has a right to be
Summary: 4 Stars
jamie lee curtis made a few of these "slasher" movies and for the most part they were very good. i liked this one for many reasons,
1.the cast(curtis,ben johnson,david copperfield,and hart bourcher) are a big plus.
2.the killer is very well hidden and keeps you guessing
3.has some good chills and thrills in it
4.and the train setting helps give it a creepy"can't get away from the killer" feel.
if you like slasher movies you will like this one also i believe.
