This is what I'm watching tonight: The cult classic 1980 slasher movie Terror Train starring Jamie Lee Curtis is getting a remake this Halloween season, with Tubi bringing their own contemporary reimagining to the table. 2022's Terror Train was shot in Montreal and premiered Friday on October 21 as part of the platform’s successful annual month-long Halloween-inspired genre celebration, “Terror on Tubi.”
SYNOPSIS: Eerie excitement is in the air as Alana and a group of college seniors board a party train for a Halloween-themed bash, but their fun spirals into fear as attendees are killed off one by one by an unknown killer. Concealed by costumes and plagued with chaos, everyone is a suspect. As the party train continues full steam ahead, Alana must race against the rails to find the killer before she becomes the next victim.
The new cast is led by Canadian actress Robyn Alomar as Alana, along with Tim Rozon as The Magician. The remake is written by Ian Carpenter and Aaron Martin (“Slasher”), and directed by Philippe Gagnon. Reviews and trailer below.
