Couple questions...

-Just saw this last night on FOX Movie Channel, pretty good slasher. Was wondering how it was received/how it did when it was released? Also, how was Docs friend killed (forget his name) he was sitting right next to him I know but I missed what happened. He was bleeding from the neck and he was cut on his chest or something? And who else loved the ending when Kenny goes berserk and falls out of the train on to the icy river. The sound effect of his body smashing on the ice was pretty intense and the subtle way they show you his head crack off, awesome. Wish the movie had a little more gore though, kinda odd since it came out around Friday the 13th, still decent slasher though.

Yeah, Moe's death (Doc's friend and Alana's boyfriend) doesn't make sense since if it's only the Assistant, she was up on stage at the time. That's why I was thinking she and the Magician were working as a team - he was standing right beside Moe during the reveal of the trick. Plus, they had the whole place looking at the stage for him to do it and no one notice.

And the movie couldn't have more gore....as it was, it's hard to imagine how the killer got things cleaned up so well so damn fast as it was. And what happened to the body of the guy in the Lizard suit, anyway?
