Summary: A Pretty Good 80's Slasher!!!
Comment: I received this as a Christmas present, and I watched it on Christmas while waiting for my family to come over. This was a pretty good horror movie about college kids celebrating New Year's Eve on a train. Someone on board the train is killing them one by one. I'd probably recommend TERROR TRAIN!!!!!

Summary: Better than Halloween!
Comment: The story to Terror Train is quite simple really,some fraternity boys play a prank on a new member and unfortunately it put him in the nuthouse.Several years later the sorority has a masquerade party on a train to celebrate their graduating of college.Little do they know their prank victim is on the train in disguise and killing the fraternity members and their friends.Jamie Lee Curtis was the person seriously involved in the prank and he's after her.The movie is very chilling and has a dark atmosphere to it.I personally like Terror Train ALOT more than Halloween.. .why?halloween has so many unanswered questions which the sequels reveal in the future,but halloween also drags along very slowly and doesn't build that much suspense.Terror Train is chock full of suspenseful moments and you won't believe the ending-a total shocker!

Summary: All Aboard!!!
Comment: One of the cheesiest 80's horror flicks out there. Worth the price of ownership/admission just to see David Copperfield "act" and the ever lovely Jamie Lee "scream" with terror. I loved every minute of it!

Summary: zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
Comment: A group of freshman college students play a mean prank on a nerdy looking kid who you can easily tell life has been hell for. Three years later they're seniors and they plan to have a costume party on a rented train. It doesn't take very good long for people to disappear and turn up a bloody mess.
I really don't see the big deal with this movie at all. I find it to be one of the most boring slashers I have ever seen. Slasher films are hard to mess up when you think about it. They can either be character driven, story driven or even a visual work of art to appeal to the sophisticated horror fan. Or mindless disturbing gore for the blood thirsty gorehounds. To me, "Terror Train" fails miserably on every level.
"Terror Train" starts out well enough but soon dives into the realm of bordom. Certain events were drawn out too long and just weren't fun to watch. This film to me was just a waste of solid visuals and a crafty idea. The usage of the killer had a spark but took a serious back seat to some partially useless filler. A certain character gets too much screentime that adds to the mystery a little bit. But it was severely overdone.
The gore was bad, death scenes bad, plot bad, acting weak, there is nothing that I like about this movie. Well some of the girls was hot, I guess I should count that. The slasher at that time was a fast moving juggernaut and this meant to cash in on it. It probably only took them about three days and a wake up to make this one. Normally I would toss out recommendations but this one time I really don't need to. You can go to a video store, hit the horror section blind folded and pick out something better. So I recommend doing that. This flick is monday through friday week!
