For New Year's Eve, Adam and Zands dip into the murky depths of the 80's slasher bin. Is this 1980 Jamie Lee Curtis vehicle (get it?) really just "Halloween on a train?" or is there something more? In this slow-burning slasher, a group of med students, responsible for a sadistic prank, board a New Year's Eve masquerade train only stalked by a costume-changing killer, all under the veneer of bright lights and a magic show by David Copperfield. Adam and Zands discuss the film's depiction of frat culture, toxic masculinity, hazing, sexuality, illusion and its gender-bending twist.
CW for dated and problematic depictions of drag, sex-based fraternity hazing and necrophilia.
Zands' Rating: 3.5/5
Adam's Rating: 3/5
