I won't spoil anything, but after watching this one and the terror train Remake back to back, I thought I figured out who the killer was because the the killer at the end of the first one didn't die out there on the tracks. So I assumed it could be the same killer, but with a cleverly done twist, it was someone else this time. The killer was pretty crazy, but not as deranged as the first killer. However the kills in this week just as gory and pretty cool. Liked how this time the survivors and a few others were being the ones killed off. The killer still wears different costumes in it also. Overall pretty cool! Hoping for maybe a third one soon!

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.

Still traumatized by the previous rampage, a survivor of a crazed killer is talked into going on a train ride commemorating the original massacre and get over the incident, but when it starts happening again finds herself forced to take action to save her friends and stop the mysterious killer. This one turned into a generally fun if slightly problematic effort. One of the better features here is the fine work spent on integrating the events of the two films to feel like a genuine sequel. The main gist here involving her life coming apart dealing with her trauma affecting her surgical aspirations and turning into a paranoid psycho that can't be anything in the train without being reminded of the previous encounters is all incredibly fair and realistic. That carries over into the other setups involved here, with the exploits of the other survivors ranging quite reasonably from those still dealing but getting over the issue to using the experience to become a faux celebrity in an online community devoted to the incident. There's a lot to like here with these conflicting setups coming into play. As this is set up quite nicely, that turns the film into a stellar mystery about the nature of the killer committing the murders. Abandoning the concept of having the killer stalk anyone by going for the shocking ambush of the victim not believing the costumed person will hurt them before the killing blow, this one becomes a solid series of discussions and realizations about the killer's identity and purpose. This adds a layer of intrigue and suspense as the inability to really nail down a real definitive red herring which makes the stalking and ambushes here come off quite nicely. In addition to this, there's a lot to like here with the kills on display which are a bit more brutal than expected and have a fun component to them also being usually livestreamed to a disbelieving audience online, which all combine together for a lot to enjoy here. There are some drawbacks to be had with this one. One of the biggest issues holding this one back is the superficially obnoxious characters due solely to the specific setup featured here. Playing into the idea of the same train as before is already in bad taste, then to have the characters focus on trying to enhance their social media standings is even more by downplaying genuine emotional damage and distress. That people, supposedly being friends with each other are going through the issues they, to ignore this in favor of what they do here is incredibly shortsighted. Of course, there's also the whole issue of why anyone would want to partake in this setup to begin with considering the circumstances surrounding the whole incident that needs to be addressed, but otherwise, it's not so bad. Rated Unrated/R: Graphic Violence and Graphic Language.

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.

Since they already have the set, why not make the same film again? Alana (Robyn Alomar) is an emotional mess. Her friend Claudia (Nia Roam) arranges for her to "face her fear" by riding the Terror Train again for a New Year's party with the survivors of the first group and the magician (Tim Rozon) who was killed in the first film from multiple stab wounds. The body of the first killer, "Throw Mama From the Train" was never found. She becomes the main suspect killer. Claudia is insanely jealous of anyone who comes near Alana and there is a new creepy looking guy who works on train. With WiFi working everyone is broadcasting and Alana is the most famous Final Girl in the world who does not want the spotlight. You should have seen the first film before watching this one. If you found this one on Tubi, it is one up and two over. Basically it is the same as the first film. The big mystery is how did the Magician survive skewered as much as was in first feature? Guide: F-word. No sex or nudity.

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 !

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.
