Terror Train (1980)
7/10
Desperate To Board It... Dying To Leave It
27 September 2007
Warning: Spoilers
*Terror SPOILERS*

December 31st; three years after a cruel prank on a freshman which ended with the young man going insane, a fraternity, led by the mean-spirited and true jerk Doc (Hart Bochner) boards a train with the intention of partying into the New Year.

But aboard with them, there is also the freshman, who has murder in his mind...

This is probably the most obscure of Jamie Lee Curtis' horror movies, not exactly easy to find, but even though there is quite the cheese, it's thrilling and refreshing, compared to the dreck you find around today (most of them remakes).

It also uses a very interesting and seldomly used location; a train. I have to confess that I have a fondness for trains and thrillers, and this meshed both quite well together.

For anyone who wants to be mildly thrilled, or have some cheesy fun, I recommend 'Terror Train'. It's not great, but you won't regret having watched this 'feel-good' thriller! Terror Train: 7/10.
