Holiday Tubi: Terror Train 2 (2022)

 So, someone remade Terror Train this Year.  That same someone made a Sequel...also this Year.

The Sequel, unlike that last one, is actually set on New Year's Eve.
Let's check it out...

The original Remake was, for some reason, set on Halloween.

I guess that explains the Magician and the Costumes better, but still.
Next year, Movie- your time will come.

It's been a Year since the last Film and nobody is super happy about being back on THE SAME TRAIN.
They also never caught the killer.

This trip is set up as a challenge to 'wipe the slate clean' by some and, well, just a job for others.

Not David Copperfield here is the latter.

Another killer is on board and, wow, they sure aren't going to blend in, aren't they?

Incidentally, they embrace the Title quite literally, making this basically a Haunted House...but on a Train.  That's...not a great idea, right?

To give the Movie some praise, they introduce an annoying know-it-all Character and then abruptly kill him.

Our Final Girl- who is literally called this by many people, despite others surviving- is there for her Therapy, since she can't even train in Medicine without freaking out.

She's a real Drama Queen about this whole 'saw my friends die' thing, right?

Unlike the other Jamie Lee Curtis Remake/Sequel, Ms. Curtis is not involved in this one in any way.

I wonder if they even bothered to ask.

Would she have said yes?

Since it literally just came out on the 30th, no SPOILERS here.  To see what happens, stream it now.

------

It's...alright.  I can't say much more about it quality-wise though, if I'm being honest.

There are no Continuity Errors or anything.  The Acting is alright, even quite bi-polar at times.

It is a pretty by-the-numbers Modern Slasher with a few decent Characters and a bunch of assholes.  People sure do love to make fake jump scares and act just as dumb as they did in 1980.

For all of the advances in technology our Society has made, our Horny Teens are still dumb as bricks.  No offense, bricks.

Speaking of technology, CGI Blood strikes again.  It's just for quick bursts, so it is better than the Puppet Master Film using it in place of squibs.  They use 'real' blood enough here to make it a minor quibble.

For better or worse, it is a pretty soulless, but inoffensive Slasher.  Of course, using Google to find Images for this gives me weird hits like this...

You now have 2 choices as to which Slasher Film set on a Train during New Year's Eve to watch.  What a World, eh?
