Terror Train 2

On the anniversary of the killings from the fist movie, someone gets the bright idea to rent out another train, in a way of showing that life is still going.

Our protagonist and a few of the other survivors board the train for what was supposed to be a healing trip. They are joined by a large group of murder obsessed people. Shockingly enough, people start getting killed.

The writers do a pretty fair job in trying to throw you off the scent of the killer's identity, but anyone that has seen these movies before will do a decent job of figuring out who it is.

The killings are done with a variety of weapons, but the production team went with CGI to show stabbings, a bad idea. They were very clearly not real and they should have spent a few more of those precious Canadian dollars on better effects.

All in all, not a terrible movie and yet not a good one either. It moved really slow and I had a difficult time keeping my attention on it.

In this version, our heroine boards the train only to find more murder and mayhem on the infamous Terror Train. In the first film, it was easy to figure out the killer's I. D. and motivation. I mean, you couldn't figure out who it was and why?

I give kudos to the scriptwriters for making the guessing game a wee bit harder to I. D the killer. I had the killer's I. D. pegged early on. This time, the red herrings made the guessing game difficult. Maybe the killer was this person? Maybe the other? After all, was said and done, I was right all along.

The one annoying thing was the inclusion of characters from the first film. They had nothing to offer to the plot but to remind you of their presence from the first film.

A high body count might make splatter hounds rejoice, but in the long run, this movie is slightly better than its predecessor.

Agree with others, this is a solid sequel to a solid remake. Tubi is doing the right thing in the slasher genre, and that is sticking to the tried and true formula of a slasher. Don't reinvent it, just do it right.

This movie is exactly what you'd expect in a Terror Train sequel. Soundtrack used effectively and enough practical effects mixed in with off screen kills to keep it bloody and not break the budget.

Acting is solid, the Magician and Pet were standouts but overall good performances. It was ironic that some characters were chiding the lead, Alana, for making it all about "her" while most of her dialogue WAS actually shifting the narrative back to her. Good for a perhaps unintended chuckle.

Keep it up Tubi, the formula works. Maybe a good Sleepaway Camp style next time !

I have indeed watched the 2022 movie "Terror Train", but found it to be a mediocre slasher flick. So when I stumbled upon this 2022 sequel "Terror Train 2", which I didn't even know existed, I wasn't really in any rush to get to watch it. But I found the time to do so, hoping it would be a step up from the first movie. And the movie does have Tim Rozon on the cast list again, which is a definite plus.

Writers Ian Carpenter and Aaron Martin, also wrote the first movie, returns to compile the script and storyline for "Terror Train 2". Getting mighty fed up with the pathetic selfie filming for social media. Sure, I get it that this is what the youth enjoys today, but it is nothing but narcicism and not really enjoyable.

Reading up on the movies, I found out hat the two movies were shot back-to-back, which definitely does something for continuation and keeping up with the mood and spirit from the first movie.

The acting performances in "Terror Train 2" were fair. I can see that Tim Rozon, Robyn Alomar, Nadine Bhabha, Romy Weltman and Emma Elle Paterson did indeed return to portray their characters from the first movie, as it does add something to the continuity of the movies.

Well, if you enjoyed the first movie, then you will also enjoy this direct sequel. And if you didn't enjoy the first movie, well, let's just say don't waste your time on watching the sequel.

My rating of director Philippe Gagnon's 2022 movie "Terror Train 2" lands on a five out of ten stars.

Watched 2025 on Tubi in Australia; immediately after Terror Train, 2022.

This is the sequel to my previously reviewed "definitely average slasher horror film".

More of the same as before. A story starts to progress and there are glimmers of depth in the first third of the film. But whoops, there we go, back into the land of horror tropes we've seen before "people doing and saying things that anyone with a spoonful of sense in their brain would avoid."

There is less "who is the killer?" this time around; much more of "I hope they get it next". The ending is a slight twist, but it wasn't even enough to keep me particularly entertained. Decent enough production values. Acting again, hit & miss; most of the returning characters do well, but some are worse for this effort. So many missed opportunities for a stronger sequel, some really poor story choices and wooden acting; but having been produced at the same time as the first film, more of the same but with slightly less in-jokes.

Just as last time, Maybe one for big fans of the genre; but for me, a film aficionado and only daytime horror viewer, it gets a very average score of 5, no more.

(My rating system is 0= someone got paid to produce this? 10= flawless entertainment.)
