9º – Terror Train (Roger Spottiswoode, 1980)
Some college students decide to celebrate the end of college at a big party aboard an old tourist train. However, what should only be fun turns out to be a real nightmare when a psychopath begins to exterminate several of the crew in an act possibly linked to a cruel event in the past. Unappreciated in the interior of the great 1980s, ‘Terror Train’ is an irresistible film of its kind. The idea of bringing the scene of horror into a moving train falls perfectly into the proposed slasher aura, with a unique creation of a jealous atmosphere. The film also has as its protagonist the muse of horror cinema at the time, the beautiful and talented Jamie Lee Curtis.
8º – Narrow Margin (Peter Hyams, 1990)
In the plot, a prosecutor is tasked with the mission of locating a witness to a crime that could lead a mafia boss to prison. The problem is that he is not the only one behind the girl, leading her to undertake, along with her, a frantic escape inside a large train. Regular when we look at the work as a whole, ‘Narrow Margin’ has positive moments of action and suspense that manage to overcome the figure of his weak script. However, it is worth saying that the highlight of the film is the presence of actor Gene Hackman as the protagonist.
