Film Review - Terror Train (2022)

TERROR TRAIN 1

In 1980, “Terror Train” was released during the Halloween season, and it was…okay. The Roger Spottiswoode-directed picture did moderate business, attracting audiences with the strange visual of a Groucho Marx mask used by the killer, and there was the appeal of Jamie Lee Curtis, who spent the year building on her “Halloween” success and cementing her reputation as cinema’s most recognizable scream queen (also appearing in “Prom Night” and “The Fog”). The feature wasn’t big on frights, but it had mood and an unusual location for slasher movie activity. It took 42 years, but a remake has finally materialized, with “Terror Train” returning to life, out to capture attention from older genre completists and younger viewers who have no clue there was an original version of this story. The 1980 offering was no great shakes, but it was odd enough to pass. The 2022 take is a faithful remake, only lacking a more tempting sense of mystery to successfully keep fans and first timers invested in rail-based terror. Read the rest at Blu-ray.com
