Mediocre slasher from the 80's. Interesting setting for a slasher film having it unfold onboard a train, but that's about the only bit of originality about it. The kills themselves are mostly gore-free and tame, and the killers' big reveal is predictable. The best moments are of ... read more
This is just an average slasher movie, it seems to try to be a train mystery movie at the same time, but it really isn't. This movie is really boring most of the time. I didn't like this one at all, and I don't recommend seeing it.
Terror Train is essentialy another Halloween clone. The only difference is that the murders are happening on a train. The film stars scream queen Jamie Lee Curtis, and she seems kinda out of her element in this film, I mean it looks as she's bored with the story. Whatever it is, ... read more
Oh, Jamie Lee Curtis, the shit I put up with for you.
This is an entirely serviceable early 80s slasher, perhaps most notable for its status as a David Copperfield vehicle (?!). Stage magic is to this movie as dancing was to Prom Night, a completely irrelevant interlude designed... read more
Definitely not the most memorable of slashers from the slasher era, but definitely worth a rent at least.
Jamie Lee Curtis was once again cementing her status as the Scream Queen, after the successes of "Halloween", "The Fog" and "Prom Night", but this one unfortunately wasn't as successful as the previous ones and remains the least remembered. But that doesn't mean that this movie i... read more
A fun ass horror movie from the 80's. An underrated gem.
Nothing original here, same old slasher hack-em up concept, but still a whole lot of damn fun. A good movie to watch when you're alone at night. And although it probably will not scare you, I'm sure in the end you'll be ... read more
I used to think this movie was dark and uneventful. But then I watched it again and it great on be big time. It's got a great killer who keeps changing appearance during the movie, taking the costumes from the victims during the on-board masquerade. There's a well-done mystery ab... read more
The story is predictable from the get-go and isn't fresh, but the movie is well-crafted for its genre and manages to build suspense.
A run-of-the-mill slasher film whose central gimmick is setting its action on a train. Full Review
Just a little more skillfully done than many of its contemporaries, and whatever esteem I have for it is largely nostalgic, but at least it tries to be different. Full Review
Sends you a chill down the spine that won't subside until those final few minutes...see it before the upcoming remake Full Review
Just another slasher picture.
Holds the tension in a bone-chilling manner. Full Review
