Many classic horror films have been remade over the years – and now the 1980 slasher classic Terror Train is getting the same treatment. After the announcement that was made a few months ago, Tubi has finally unveiled the official trailer for their upcoming remake of Terror Train.
It’s been stated that this new iteration “is set to thrill horror fans who have been clamoring for a remake of the 1980 cult classic for years.” Indeed, Terror Train has received plenty of attention over the years, much like other horror films starring Jamie Lee Curtis such as Halloween and Prom Night. Unlike those films, however, fans have had to settle for only one Terror Train film all this time. Now the brand is back in the spotlight.
Here’s the brand-new trailer for the upcoming Terror Train remake:
As noted by Bloody-Disgusting, Adam Lewinson, Chief Content Officer at Tubi, had the following to say about their “tentpole for our annual ‘Terror on Tubi’ event in October” aka Terror Train:
“We can’t wait for viewers to take a ride on the Terror Train, the tentpole for our annual ‘Terror on Tubi’ event in October,” he began. “With an incredibly talented team of filmmakers and star-making performances, this movie continues to cement Tubi as a key destination for horror fans.”
In addition, Brook Peters, executive producer via Incendo, shared that they hope to “diversify and grow” their production slate which now includes the upcoming Terror Train remake.
“Our strategy to diversify and grow our production slate is coming to fruition and we couldn’t be more pleased to find such an incredible partner in Tubi for this project. Tubi has had enormous success with horror-genre content, and we can’t wait for them to bring our take on Terror Train to their audience in the U.S.”
There certainly is plenty of potential with a new Terror Train film. As such, it’ll be interesting to see what Tubi and friends have cooked up with this new iteration. Luckily, there’s only a few days left before the film premieres on the Tubi streaming service, so we won’t have long to wait. Hopefully it pleases everyone that’s been eager to see the property brought back.
Terror Train was directed by Philippe Gagnon from a screenplay written by Ian Carpenter and Aaron Martin.
The cast for the film is led by Robyn Alomar and Tim Rozon.
Fans will be able to stream Terror Train via Tubi on October 21, 2022. Stay tuned to ScreenGeek for any potential updates as we have them.
