Train: The Little Engine That Could’ve Been a Remake

Posted by About.com Horror & Suspense on November 4, 2009

The movie Train began as a Thora Birch-headed remake of the ’80s Jamie Lee Curtis ~~classic~~ competent slasher Terror Train, but at some point, the powers that be bucked the remake trend and decided to downsize the title and go with a whole new plot involving college athletes and eastern European organ harvesters. Will this unusual restraint pay off? Well, it’s going straight to video, so commercially it might not work out, but we’ll see how it turns out creatively when Train is released on November 17. In the meantime, check out the trailer and these pics.
