Man this movie SUCKED! I watched it off Netflix last night cuz I figured since they were remaking it I should check the original. Being a slasher fan and all that. Another Jamie Lee Curtis outing. A prank is pulled on a nerd at a fraternity and years later he comes back for revenge cuz apparently the prank drove him straight to the looney bin. His reaction to the prank was laughably stupid. Well anyways its 3 years later and all the seniors (Jamie Lee now being one of them) are having a party on a train. Anyways the one who got the prank pulled on him shows up and everytime he kills someone he puts on their costume so he won't get noticed.
Ok now that we've got that out of the way. I'll get back into why this movie sucked. The acting is pretty bad, although it being a slasher movie I could forgive that. What annoyed the hell out of me was the fact that pretty much everytime someone died their scream would turn into the sound of the train whistle, and you would see the outside of the train. So pretty much everybody dies offscreen which is pretty freakin annoying. Already knowing who the killer is takes away any suspense. And instead of trying to act all inconspicous (sp?) like someone probably would in his situation, he walks around like a Michael Myers reject. And on top of that the movie is BORING AS HELL. David Copperfield is in the flick so he makes it entertaining for a little while........but just a little while. And I know theres a pretty good chance the remake will wind up just as stupid as the "when a stranger calls" remake. But still after seeing this piece of crap the remake atleast wont be any worse than the original. All I gotta say is remake away boys.......remake away.
Oh and I've just got to mention this spoiler about the ending so highlight if you wanna read......in the end when the train conductor or whoever he was hits the killer with the shovel and knocks him out of the train I laughed my ass off. All you hear is a CATHUNK and he falls out. Hilarious.
