NavyVet07🔥🔥🔥Feb 22, 2026Slasher magic 🤔 but what kind of magic. Well I'm a bit disappointed. I was ready to embrace a perfectly cliché, cheesy 80s slasher, the kind of “so bad it becomes good” entertainment, but the end result really stabbed me hard in the side, and not even the unique setting…
werskuOct 9, 2021I begrudgingly respect that the killer's panic response is to twirl twirl twirl.

Kinda boring slasher that won't leave a lasting impression on me. Even Jamie Lee Curtis doesn't manage to upgrade this flick.
kat🕷Mar 1, 2022Action! - The March of the (3) Rogers: Stop Or Buddy Spottiswoode Will Shoot Well, it's about time I watched this one. And what a way to finally see it, on a marathon from a director (the last Roger) who I never assumed would be behind something like this, especially at…
Rafael "Mister Movie" JovineOct 5, 2014Hoop-tober film #2 Roger Spottiswoode's tight little 80's thriller features Jamie Lee Curtis, mid-horror-marathon, and a lovely small role for Oscar winner Ben Johnson. The who-done-it aspect isn't terribly hard to figure out but T.Y. Drakes script does throw a couple…

Jamie Lee screaming like she is out of Activia. The character Doc as the quintessential asshat jock. Ben Johnson as the kick ass conductor and David Copperfield as a creepy magician. This all equals 80's slasher fun on a train.
Todd GainesOct 18, 2021Terror Train has a cool concept for a slasher movie, however, it's really boring, and the pacing of the film is so off. No tension, one dimensional characters and rubbish kills. Jamie Lee Curtis just about saves this from being a monstrosity.

- Morgan likedTerror Train
watched this for new year! i enjoyed the train as the setting and the killer switching disguises after every kill the kills could’ve been more unique though and the plot drags pretty badly… thank goodness for the magic show and the reveal at the end, that made it worth it for me
GENAI lovedTerror TrainThis movie ate so bad I can’t even. Evil gay men, Drag queens, unique archetypes that feel genuine, Jamie Lee Curtis at her most scrappy and bloody as she goes through genuinely intense chase scenes with REAL momentum in her slayful thigh high boots AHHHH. I’m so shook. 100/10.
Atticus is "meh" onTerror TrainSo I think people nailed it. This movie is enjoyable for what it is. I do not know how no one recognized him, that ending is so damn boring and it’s barely a slasher, if anything it’s a murder mystery. Jamie Lee Curtis is definitely the best part of this movie
- Damien is "meh" onTerror Train
I mean it was good for the time. The twist of the killer is pretty obvious. And for a slasher it doesn’t slash all that much really. If Jamie wasn’t in it probably I would say avoid it but it’s a classic to at least check out.
JJ Jet-Plane is "meh" onTerror Traininteresting idea, good atmosphere, but many weak performances, and stupid ending. it can drag at certain times. second JLC movie i’ve seen with the same killer twist. 4/10
joey is "meh" onTerror Trainthis was slow. i liked the setting, unique plot, the david copperfield cameo is crazy, but i just couldnt really get into it. the costumes are beautiful though
- Farkle Prime likedTerror Train
79/100 so I watched TT remake and 2 before watching this one and I think the remake was spot on but still average at best - C+
The Horrornomicon likedTerror TrainIt was an enjoyable New Year’s Eve themed movie but not something i would rush to buy and add to my collection
Edward Kronkvist likedTerror TrainA pretty enjoyable slasher flick with some cool kills and a unique story that it was set on a train.

Metacritic
Terror Train is a curious hybrid that doesn't seem to know just what it wants to be. It has, I guess, few artistic pretensions, and yet it's not a rock-bottom-budget, schlock exploitation film.
