Terror Train All aboard, folks. Get ready for one hell of a ride and let the Conductor take your tickets and your lives. Scream-queen, Jamie Lee Curtis (Halloween, Prom Night) stars as Alan Maxwell, miss popularity, and a pawn in a college fraternity prank that goes horribly wrong, leaving a student traumatized, and sent to mental ward. Four years later, the fraternity's graduating class decide to throw a costume party aboard a train in celebration. But someone has slipped aboard, deciding to crash their party, disguised in the costumes of these revelers. A classic without a doubt. Directed by Roger Spottiswoode (Tomorrow Never Dies, The 6th Day) this compelling thriller keeps you on the edge of your seat, guessing up until the very end the identity of our killer. Sharing star-billing with Jamie Lee are Hart Bochner (Die Hard, Urban Legend 2) as president of the fratnernity, and David Copperfield (magician extraordinaire) as a magician booked as entertainment on the train, and Ben Johnson (The Wild Bunch, Major Dundee) as the conductor of the train. Soon after Halloween and Friday the 13th, major studios began making the kinds of films associated previously with independent companies - releasing such classics as Happy Birthday to Me (Columbia), April Fools Day (Paramount), and My Bloody Valentine (Paramount) - 20TH CENTURY FOX is no exception with this masterpiece of horror. Sure it's b-horror, but it is b-horror at its best. You will honestly not know who it is doing the killing until the very end. Even when the killer is shown on screen without their costume, they are still in costume..... I know it is confusing but you'll have to see it to believe it. The murders are cleverly staged and even when you think someone is going to discover one of the dead bodies and blow the lid on the killer's plans, the killer has a few tricks up his sleeve, so to speak. And even when we, as the audience, know these frat boys and their naughty female companions are dropping like flies, their mysterious attacker poses as them--wearing their disguises to get close to the next potential victim. Very suspensful. A must-see for all you horror buffs out there. Jamie Lee lives up to her Scream-queen title in this one, hands-down. Contributed by Royce Freeman. >>Back<< >>Archive Index<<
