Blood & Celluloid

Terror Train

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
