DVD Synopsis

Riding the coattails of the resurgent boom in horror films after the success of Halloween, Terror Train features teeth-chattering direction by Roger Spottiswoode and pristine cinematography from John Alcott. The story is the basic slasher film premise, remounted on a moving train. A college fraternity decides to hold a New Year's Eve party on a train. But an uninvited guest, a disturbed ex-fraternity member, decides to take revenge on the partying students by killing them off one by one in increasingly grisly fashion. On board the terror train is horror film perennial Jamie Lee Curtis, along with David Copperfield, and Ben Johnson as Carne the conductor, who tries to calm the women students by saying things like, "Now you young ladies stay up here --it's too dangerous down in that other car." ~ Paul Brenner, All Movie Guide

Editorial Review of DVD

With her feature debut in Director John Carpenter's Halloween, Actress Jamie Lee Curtis made a name for herself as everyone's favorite scream queen -- but the screaming certainly didn't stop when the credits rolled. Now Curtis returns to do battle with a murderous maniac in this terrifying release from 20th Century Fox Home Entertainment. Viewable in either in 1.85:1 anamorphic widescreen or 1.33:1 pan-and-scan, both versions look great as presented here. In addition to being free of any noticeable debris or digital artifacting, colors are well-balanced and evidence of edge-enhancement virtually non-existent. English Dolby Digital Mono audio is bold and free of any notable distortion, and accompanied by English-language closed-captioning and optional Spanish subtitles. ~ Jason Buchanan, All Movie Guide
