Terror Train

DVD/APPROX. 97 MINS/1980/USA UNRATED
Oh, you crazy kids are going to be the death of me!!!!! Being the fourth filmed effort by Ms. Curtis (Halloween, The Fog and Prom Night preceding
it) and being by far not one the better ones. This film pairs the tired hat of a practical joke gone bad and a wacko soon swinging a knife in the
name of revenge. Slated in the early 80's when every teenager was being stalked at party, campsite, or drive-in. So hand over your boarding
ticket, you have now come taken a seat upon The Terror Train.
It's New Year's, and a group of collegiate go-getters have decided to hold the night's fun of frolic on yes, you guessed it… a train. Alana (Curtis),
and Doc (Bochner) become two of the hunted when a masked madman seeks vengeance for a prank pulled four years earlier. Stalking the train for
those guilty of the hurtful ha-ha (and those not so guilty) the body count soon starts to climb. With the help of raspy-voiced conductor (Johnson)
the search is soon on to find the killer before the next body falls.
This film is tired and way over done much by 1985, as are most things proven to make a dollar in Hollywood. Curtis's acting is young and hollow,
much like most of her career, except for the brief three minutes in Trading Places where she didn't even say a word (isn’t that right guys?). [Hey
fucko, you're talking about the woman I Love!! - GV] Grab a rubber mask, various amounts of goodies to kill someone with (found only in the areas
of where you are doing the killing), and a guy that never gets laid or has been made a fool of while trying to get laid, and there you have it. Even
renowned magician David Copperfield's appearance cannot save this ship from sinking at the opening credits, but I wish he had made an attempt
to make it disappear.t
