Excellent, Without a doubt!!

A different way of telling a story

The acting in this movie is really good.

One of the film's great tricks is that, for a time, you think it will go down a rabbit hole of unrealistic glorification.

The college students Doc (Hart Bochner), Michelle "Mitchy" (Sandee Currie), Mo (Timothy Webber), Alana (Jamie Lee Curtis), Edward "Ed" (Howard Busgang) and Jackson (Anthony Sherwood) plot a prank for their college mate Kenny Hampson (Derek McKinnon); however the joke goes wrong and Kenny ends up in a mental institution. Years later, Doc and Mo decide to celebrate their graduation with a costume party and a magician (David Copperfield) aboard of a train. In the embarkation platform, Ed is murdered by a killer that wears his costume of Groucho Marx. Then he kills Jackson and wears his costume of The Swamp Thing. The conductor Carne (Ben Johnson) discovers his body, but who might be the masked killer?"Terror Train" is an average slasher, with a claustrophobic story developed in a moving train. The identity of the killer is discovered but the he and his victims wear costumes and is difficult to identify who might be him. My vote is six.Title (Brazil): "O Trem do Terror" ("The Terror Train")

Jamie Lee Curtis stars as one of many graduating college students who board a train to celebrate, but a killer with a grudge(for a cruel prank used against him four years earlier) disrupts the festivities, as he begins murdering the passengers, and donning their costumes(part of the party) in order to fool them. Magician David Copperfield plays a magician(naturally!) and veteran actor Ben Johnson plays the no-nonsense train conductor, determined to get the killer.Film builds some atmosphere in the snowy wastes outside the train(it is wintertime) and Ben Johnson is appealing,(most of the characters are not) but is otherwise dreary and predictable, and sometimes defies logic(killer seems to be a real magician!) Good ending cannot save it.

I didn't even know this film existed until I saw it at HMV, I picked it up along with a couple other scream-factory Blu-rays. I honestly didn't have high hopes for this film, but it actually wasn't too bad. As usual the cover art is great, very appreciated from a fan of collector editions.I have to say, the first 15 minutes were awful, you get some stupid kids pulling pranks and yelling constantly. But once they got on the train, the film picked up. I didn't think a train setting could be pulled off as well as it was in this film, it's a great change of pace for a slasher film. The train almost feels cozy and has a good atmosphere to it. Jamie lee Curtis wasn't as useless as she was in The Fog, which was refreshing. The kills weren't over the top and sickening, I'm okay with that. My favourite character was Ben Johnson as the conductor, it's rare for an older man to be the star of a horror film. Then we got David Copperfield doing magic tricks, which were interesting. I biggest complaint is how the film went on and on, when it should have already ended.Overall, it was a pretty enjoyable film, I recommend it to fans of slasher films. Even if you are not a fan, it's still a good waste of time.

The college days, fraternity and sorority gathering together for a New Year party. There, they have a young pledge who is very timid, goes to meet this young woman. The woman in the bed though wasn't her, it was a corpse! What happens next is far from funny. He ends up in a mental hospital. Now that they are seniors, the gang have their party, on an steam train. How nice. That is why they call it, "Terror Train". Everyone are supposed to enjoy their last year of college, now suddenly, no one is able to go off into the world. All because of a prank done 3 years earlier. The victim has escaped, and has boarded on the train undetected by anyone. One by one, he gets those responsible in gruesome fashion. But when he confronted Alena (Jamie Lee Curtis), he became very unhinged when he kissed her. It appeared that his act of revenge dominated his judgment, and it really sent him over the edge. Jamie Lee Curtis is known well in "Halloween" and "Prom Night".David Copperfield shed some light with his magic. He made the movie more fun. Riding the can be either fun or scary, this movie has a lot in store. 2 out of 5 stars
