Terror Train (1980) Director: Roger Spottiswoode
The film opens with a group of teens having a party for new years eve. A boy gets tricked into going upstairs to have sex with a girl who is actually a dead body. The rest of the teens come in and start laughing as he freaks out and the scene fades to black. Again common slasher devices are used: teenagers drinking and partying. Overall the intro is about 6 minutes long. This traumutising experiance leads the teen to become a killer. Another key note is the film features Jamie Lee Curtis who appeard in haloween and prom night. The clothing of the characters is important as well as it shows they are college students. There isnt alot of exposision in the opening scene just a brief introduction to a few of the characters. However should you be a fan of slasher films its quite easy to figure out what the plot might hold in store. One of the interesting points of the film and what makes it unique is the killings take place on a train. Overall it has many of the common slasher devices which build tension and suspence.
