David Copperfield's terror acting


while watching this movie i hated him. his role was so arrogant! after he appeared the first times i believed he was the killer. i really wished he was the killer so there would be a bit coolness in copperfield taking this role.
but then he was killed. didn't matter, it was satisfying enough to me too...

ColvinJD6, Terror Train's been out of print for quite some time, so it's pretty hard to find. Your best bet is to find a videostore either in your hometown or on the net that stocks old tapes (course most stores are replacing their inventory with DVDs and doing away with tapes altogether).

As for Copperfield, I thought that he was appropriately arrogant. I can't see anyone else in the role, nor could they have feasably cast just a regular actor. I don't remember where I read/heard it (an interview in the early '90s perhaps?) but Copperfield said that he wished he hadn't done it and was ashamed of his performance. Take it for what it's worth.

I agree I think he was appropriately arrogant. To me it didnt come off as being extremely arrogant, just disappointed with the crowd he thought he was going to get. I know hes ashamed of the movie, but I thought he did a good job, for what he actually had to do in the movie.

Well, having met Copperfield in real life, this comes as no surprise. My only regret in not seeing this movie was getting to see him get offed. May this movie shame him until the grave.
