Termini Station is a Canadian drama film, released in 1989. It was directed by Allan King, and written by Colleen Murphy.

The film stars Colleen Dewhurst and Megan Follows as Molly and Micheline Dushane, a mother and daughter living in a small Northern Ontario town. Molly is an alcoholic, which creates tension between her and Micheline and inspires Micheline's fantasies of escaping her stifling small-town life. The film's cast also includes Gordon Clapp and Debra McGrath as Molly's son and daughter-in-law.

Termini Station was the only film besides the Anne of Green Gables movies in which Follows and Dewhurst worked together. The film's promotion consciously played off expectations created by their reunion.

The film was nominated for six awards at the 11th Genie Awards, including Best Picture and Best Actress nods for both Dewhurst and Follows. However, it did not win any awards.

Jill, frightened to extreme measures, arms herself as she receives one final call from the nefarious stalker. Soon after the conversation, Jill receives a call from the police, only to find out that the stalker is calling from inside the house.
