Flight of the Living Dead: Outbreak on a Plane plot
"At 30,000 feet, there's no where to run."
A flight from Los Angeles to Paris takes a strange turn when it turns out that a scientist has smuggled a corpse, which is infected with a horrific virus, onto the plane. When the plane gets caught in a big storm, the corpse rises from the dead and escapes. The passengers are then attacked and one by one also turn into the living dead. But because the plane is not allowed to land, it is becoming increasingly difficult for the survivors not to become infected with the virus.

This is a stroke of luck. Flight of the Living Dead sounds eerily similar to Romero's classic and then you quickly look at the box to see if the Asylum label is not secretly on it. Fortunately not, and given the quality of this film - although it is not great - this entertaining work could never have gotten out of that shit stable.
The screenplay, on the other hand, perhaps, probably written by a five-year-old. A life-threatening experiment transported on a passenger plane already smells a bit. But what happens next is incredibly ordinary. Bombs explode, bullets fly around your ears, half the plane is stripped of electricity cables, but the plane continues to function without any problems. Although it is completely ridiculous, I believe that you should not look for logic in this and so I will not deduct any points from it. After all, it is more entertaining than the plane crashing with one fired bullet.
The cast is not very good, although there are still a few nice faces and an O'Connor whose humor does not work this time. The Pentagon stuff is cringeworthy and literally adds nothing other than explaining why the shit hit the fan. It really doesn't matter at all.
Where Flight excels in a positive way are the special effects, especially when expectations are quite low. The bloody make-up often looks nice and dirty and the intestines also look somewhat realistic. The CGI, however, is terrible, but I understand why it was chosen for budgetary reasons. The slowmos are overdone and sometimes there is a lack of a score, which makes it look a bit duller. But actually not a bad film at all, but you have to take the poor screenplay for granted.

The director's intention was clearly serious, as evidenced by the introduction of the superior
passengers who may be outwitted later in the film. Unfortunately, both the acting and
the direction leaves a lot to be desired and it all comes across as quite stupid. Nice find
maybe the hole in the aisle (By the way, apparently fragile as crepe paper), and it falls
All in all, it's still pretty good in terms of entertainment. Regardless, the film leaves some tension
to feed. A movie about zombies that only takes place on an airplane is of course also like that
restrictions. That is a bit different than, for example, in The Evil Dead, especially with the threat
from the outside. Or in World War Z, with a scene in an airplane but only incidentally,
and then depicted in a particularly intense and effective manner. But of course this is also more of one
low budget movie. Who sometimes pleasantly surprise me. That this film is not.

Little expectations from the start, although the trailer seemed quite nice, something that doesn't have to say much. Ultimately, this was quite an entertaining film that could have been a lot worse, but also better, and should certainly not be taken seriously.
They take a plane full of unsuspecting passengers and a load of something contagious that escapes or breaks out and causes carnage. That's all it takes. Original? No, not really, but hey, what else is there in zombie land? Then an airplane is quite something. It's certainly nice how the zombies run rampant and cause carnage once at full speed. No slow walkers in this case, but fast and out for the kill. The Gore is quite fun with a number of humorous kills and, for example, how patient zero at one point crawls by like a dog with a loose arm between its teeth.
Bad moments include the long run-up before something finally happens. And the pace remains precarious from there anyway. The pace seems to speed up wonderfully when something happens to a zombie and then drop terribly again until the next death or bloodshed. It feels like running or standing still. The reality with Molotov cocktails and a lot of shooting at I don't know what height is something I'm not going to start talking about. You shouldn't look at that at all. No, as far as the effects with the Tomcat or the passenger plane itself, it doesn't really matter, because you know this in advance. And well, the cast and acting are not good.
With a film like this, the question is usually whether it is not that bad how bad it is rather than whether this is a good product. And I'm happy knowing that I can see the humor in a zombie film. Add to that an extremely beautiful flight attendant in the form of Kristen Kerr and I find it acceptable. That's why it's especially nice for once.
