I'd say it was more successful with the former as I don't recall feeling on the edge of my seat or anything. I really did like the characters, though. Especially the conductor. The dude they got to play the killer was appropriately creepy and did make a believable woman (from far away), although not a very pretty one. Copperfield hadn't quite reached the Claudia Schiffer standards at that point in his career, I guess. <br /><br />Also, I think I see another big lapse in logic. Maybe I'm a bit daft, but I don't understand why he needed to kill the Gracho Marx guy to get on the train. Since he was the magician's assistant, he already had a way onto the train, as well as a great disguise. What am I missing?Miskatonichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10458189434988263478noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5110147752122772426.post-17796182484532729082010-04-01T11:57:06.181-07:002010-04-01T11:57:06.181-07:00That prank from the beginning of the movie would h...That prank from the beginning of the movie would have scarred me for life if it was pulled on me. Just saw this for the first time over Netflix. I liked it much more than others who rated it and it taught me to take those ratings with a grain of salt.Gunslinger19https://www.blogger.com/profile/01661648586210264839noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5110147752122772426.post-13816075347953879502007-09-24T23:22:00.000-07:002007-09-24T23:22:00.000-07:00Out of all the post-Halloween slasher films in the...Out of all the post-Halloween slasher films in the early eighties, this has always been one of my faves. However, I don't know if that's saying much since I'm pretty much stuck comparing it to dreck like "Final Exam," "The Burning," and "Graduation Day." But still, great twist at the end and some geniunely scary moments that still make me a little skittish today. This is one I show a lot to people that don't watch many horror movies except the obvious ones.Jonathanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09548468568645800735noreply@blogger.com
