Review of Terror Train (1980) by Hellholehorror — 13 May 2023
The first and biggest problem that I had with this who-done-it slasher outing is that the picture quality is horrible. I don't know if it was the original or the DVD that I had but the exposure was terrible.
All of the blacks ran into each other and it was difficult to see what was going on a lot of the time. Technical gripes aside this is not the worst teen slasher in the world, it is also not the best and that is the problem.
It is stuck somewhere in the middle of a large field. It is not especially scary and the tension rarely amounts to anything. The killing is unimaginative and the characters are dull. First time round I didn't guess who the killer was but I did remember it for the second viewing years later.
It is far from terrifying, it is much closer to mundane.
