MysteriousWolf

surprisingly another twisted slasher film that is able to keep the tone all the way through.

neither the trailer or the poster does this justice. watch it

" The idea for Terror Train. came from a dream that Daniel Grodnik had. One weekend night after seeing the films Halloween and Silver Streak, Dan woke up and said to his wife, "What do you think about putting Halloween on a train?" His wife answered, "That's terrible". He jotted down "Terrible Train" on a piece of paper on his nightstand. In the morning, he changed the title to "Terror Train", wrote up 22 pages, and made a deal on it with Sandy Howard's company at 3:00 in the afternoon. The f"

October 2021 Horrorfest (70 movies items)

"First viewing - Oct. 24th Train horror double feature I've wanted to check out Terror Train for a whole now but never managed to track it down. Shudder to the rescue. And man I really loved it. The story, the cast, the decision to bring in David Copperfield to perform, the costumes, the effects, all good stuff. If it has a flaw it's with regard to the handling of the villain. Unless this is your first horror movie ever you know who it is, & they aim for a misdirect that falls flat as a result. "
