Night Train to Terror (1985)

Night Train to Terror is an anthology with three stories held together with a wrap around involving a conversation on a train between God and Satan, while a band plays in another car.

God and Satan tell stories of individuals and debate whether the people should go to heaven or hell.  The segments are:

1. An asylum kidnaps wayward travelers and victims of car accidents to supplement their organ selling business.
2. A young musician working in a carnival dates a man who introduces her to being an actress in adult films to support her piano playing. Later she gets involved with a group that plays Russian roulette using lethal means other than guns.
3. A Nobel prize winner writes a book called God Is Dead, his wife has nightmares about Nazi’s and a stranger named Papini says weirdo Oliver was in WWII even though he’s not old enough to have fought in the war.

The train conductor is privy to God and Satan’s conversations. Only the three of them know the train is going to crash. But until that happens, the band is going to sing the same song in each section and dance poorly.  I thought the drummer had no idea how to play based on how she was hanging over the drums, but then she twirled the stick like a pro.  Did they teach her this or was she a drummer who can’t act like a drummer?

I hate this movie.  Maybe it’s the crappy band and dancing, or maybe it’s because it was cobbled together with each section being a truncated version of an individual film.  Why? It seems pointless.

Ridiculous chorus lyrics repeated ad nauseam 

Everybody's got something to do, everybody but you.

The drummer who can twirl a stick but
can’t convince you she’s drumming

God and Satan

Oh the 80s - sleeveless shirts, one lone glove, new wave makeup,
and lots of scarfs tied on the waist

The Nazi vampire version of David Cassidy

He’s still singing and they’re still dancing

Why hasn’t the band noticed this is not a normal track?
