The cult-classic Jamie Lee Curtis-starrer has been rebooted as part of the platform’s October-long “Terror on Tubi” slate.

Tubi has announced that it will exclusively host the new TERROR TRAIN, which, like its predecessor, lensed in Canada (specifically Montreal). Philippe Gagnon (AMBER ALERT, PSYCHO PROM QUEEN) directed from a script by Ian Carpenter and Aaron Martin (SLASHER), and the cast is headed by Robyn Alomar (UTOPIA FALLS) and Tim Rozon. The synopsis: “In this contemporary reimagining, eerie excitement is in the air as Alana [Alomar] and a group of college seniors board a party train for a Halloween-themed bash, but their fun spirals into fear as attendees are killed off one by one by an unknown killer. Concealed by costumes and plagued with chaos, everyone is a suspect. As the party train continues full steam ahead, Alana must race against the rails to find the killer before she becomes the next victim.”
