The movie Terror Train was released in 1980 and directed by Roger Spottiswoode. The film stars Jamie Lee Curtis as Alana, who is one of the main characters in the story. She and her friends are attending a Halloween party on a train that has been rented out for the night.
As the train makes its way through the night, one of the passengers is killed. At first, the group believes it is just a prank, but as more passengers are killed, they realize that someone is targeting them.
The killer is wearing a costume and mask, making it difficult for the group to identify who it is. As the night goes on, the tension and fear among the group increases.
Alana takes charge of trying to figure out who the killer is and stop them before anyone else is killed. The movie has several twists and turns as the group tries to survive the night.
Throughout the film, flashbacks are shown of a prank gone wrong that occurred a few years prior, which may be connected to the current killings on the train.
Terror Train is known for its suspenseful atmosphere and classic slasher movie elements. The film received mixed reviews upon its release, but has since become a cult classic in the horror genre.
