Terror Train 2

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.

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.

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 !

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.

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.
