Heres the one you've all been waiting for!
Flight of the Living Dead: Outbreak on a Plane (2007) - Scott Thomas
(I know this says Plane Dead but its the same movie)
Starring:
David Chisum, Kristen Kerr, Kevin J O'Connor, Richard Tyson, Erick Avari
The Plot:
As if the title of the movie itself doesn't explain it to you, look no further for I have the answer to your queries. On a flight from LA to Paris, a mad scientist who is sought after by the CIA bring aboard a coffin containing the body of a colleague who is infected with this virus thats brings the dead back, and guess what... She escapes and reeks havoc aboard this plane turning most into mindless blood thirsty zombies.
Is It Any Good?
Well with a title like "Flight of the Living Dead." What do you really expect? Nothing right, exactly like I had assumed but guess what.... This movie was actually really entertaining. More so than that of "Snakes on a Plane" (and I really liked that one). I was glued to the screen during this whole movie not once was I bored with this film. It was humorous because they all knew the idea of the film was absurd but they had fun with it which is what you should always do.
No when you take a look at the cast its got alot of people you may not know and some you will recognize like the bad dad from Kindergarten Cop, or Mohinder's father from the show Heroes. To me Kevin O'Connor stole the screen to whole time playing the convict who was to be released to Interpol once reaching Paris but mid flight the cop he was handcuffed to gets knocked out during turbulence and makes his break for it. Once you see him you would probably think of John Waters cause he kinda has his look which was awesome and somewhat sounded like him as well. There are quite a few other characters aboard this plane like teh Tiger Woods imitation character, the jocks and their girlfriends. A Nun who made me laugh out loud everytime. And this one Asian zombie who never seems to make it out of his buckled seat.
Of course being a low budget horror flick you know its going to be gory and of course it did not upset. It didn't go to over the top and stayed true to a zombie movie. The make up effects were actually pretty well done for the price range i'm guessing they had. Only a few gripes with this movie like the scenes that took place inside the Pentagon which was always the same room, always the same angle, and the same three actors in there. Either than that though this movie flowed really well, some of the CGI was bad but not to the point where it really stands out. The ending of the film I though was pretty good, could have been better. The writing was like most low budget films but actually had me laughing out loud a couple times with some of the one liners, and such other things.
How Are The Extras?
What extras....... On the main menu your only choices are Play Movie, and Scene Selection. So you don't really have anything extra with this flick. If you want some rad zombie dvd extras get the 4 disc Dawn of the Dead set.
Final Words
If you out there looking for a good campy cheesy zombie flick, look no further this is the epitome of these kinds of films. All in all i loved every minute of it and finished this film satisfied much more than I though I would. Unlike others in this genre it isn't chock full of nudity which is good cause it has time for other things. So definitely check this out if your looking to be entertained
Movie: 6/10 (I'm going to rank out of 10 now, more possibilities. I shall edit the old posts for the new rankings)
DVD: 1/5 (The menus are alright so it gets a 1)
