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.

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.)

Terror Train 2 (2022) is currently available on Tubi and picks up after the last film with the survivors from the first Terror train. Alana, who was the hero from the first adventure, has received national attention but is also struggling mentally recovering from the event. Her friends and psychologist think getting on a train again to help recover from the past events is the logical next step. As she gets on the train, the horrors begin again. Is it all in her head or is she the target of another vicious serial killer?

This movie is directed by Philippe Gagnon (Terror Train, 2022) and stars Robyn Alomar (Utopia Falls), Nadine Bhabha (The Christmas Exchange), Nia Roam (Polar), Romy Weltman (Backstage), Tim Rozon (Lost Girl) and Daniel Gravelle (Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark).

This movie was definitely rushed and feels like it in every way. The writing for the storyline doesn't know if it's a sequel or a remake. The dialogue, writing and acting is awful...somehow much worse than the first film despite the same director and many returning cast members. The kills and gore are very inconsistent, but there was one throat slash/stab that was excellent.

Overall, this movie is very bad and not worth your time. I would score this a 1/10 and strongly recommend skipping it.

Not bad but the only thing I couldn't buy was the killer in the sequel. Just too unbelievable for this character and the motive was absurd. I don't want to spoil it but I strongly believe a different killer with a non laughable motive would have made this better. Still believe the first remake was stronger. The sequel just not as good.

The acting is pretty decent. The Magician was a perfect cast for this role. Alana is also pretty good as well as the conductor. The rest of the cast is OK. Cinematographer did a good job as well and I believe the scenes are lit quite well. All in all, entertaining.
