My Review

The next movie I am about to review is called Terror Train starring Jamie Lee Curtis so let see how she does in this one some say it not too bad of a movie with her in it but I will see.

One thing for Jamie Lee was indeed young in this one that for sure. Anyway Story starts off with a group picking on this guy sort of like a prank it did end up going very wrong they used what look like dummy’s or something and the guy did get scared and wrap in the curtains he did it scar him I think did it kill him not sure went to intro of movie after that quick it like they cut away from it fast after intro we see it been 3 years later now and they are going home after graduation is my guess on a train there was a guy doing act and got stab and think it was a act it was not someone stab him and push him under the train to get run over ouch whoever did it put on the mask the guy was wearing and got on the train pretty much I think it was guy they tease at the start of movie character name is Kenny is back for revenge after what happen to him.

Hate to say it they made him this way Kenny turn into killer and is going after them or anyway first 23 mins we got 2 kills not too bloody though yet first 2 kills was little scary that for sure. As I was watching this movie I also note a familer face David Copperfield the magic guy who is during what he does best his magic tricks which was cool yep that David I grow up watching that for sure will say it was cool see him again in this one and let his character do magic tricks In this one . The first one to find the body was one of guy on the train engineer I think he see blood but goes back later with the other guy to show him and see the guy who was killed in mask moving later on that costume the person in kills another woman it was indeed not too scary but did find out he cut her throat.

Will say the kills was little slow at first but once you get in into 1 hour mark start to go a little faster they stop the train to find the killer but I think Kenny is smart then Alana figures out it is Kenny.

Then later doc gets killed by Kenny they show his headless flying out sort remind of prom night with headless flying there scary some that for sure. Well say terror train is slow go but still holds on gore and blood and kills and it would indeed be one heck of a twist if David was killer because they went looking for him did not find him I saw nah they would not write that in. So Kenny here went after Alana and what a fight at the end there Jamie Lee was again badass when she fights off Kenny look like he fall off the train but later they show he still hang on there not too much time left of movie here so was wonder how it would end it was indeed Kenny he was many people in this one lady dress up and boy he was very good at disguises but he wanted her to kiss him and she did and he did the same thing wrap up in curtain like started and gets hit with a shovel and fall out very brutal death that for sure for Kenny but he was insane as movie does end with Train still going.

Well final thoughts have to say another horror movie that start off slow but did pick up at end for story I thought Jamie Lee Curtis was great fighting off bad guy again her acting is very good in horror films Kenny was pretty scary some dress up as many to kill it was odd path he went though after what they did to him at start pretty much the last 20 mins was highlight of movie with Alana vs Kenny at ending was alright it probably the way I would end the movie Kenny death was indeed disturbing that’s for sure have to say so have to say in the end Terror Train (1980) was not bad now there was a terror train 2 release in 2022 maybe I review that soon have to say maybe on that and that it for this review of Terror train (1980)

I gave Terror Train (1980) a rating of 7/10
