No Snakes on this Plane.

#15 - Flight of the Living Dead: Outbreak on a Plane - 2007

I'm going to make this the shortest review I've done, mainly because I'm absolutely exhausted.

There's a Plane heading to France, on it is a mad Scientist with what is a virus he's been developing. A Virus that first of all kills you and then reanimates the organs. Now this just might be me but that's just an incredibly shitty thing to do, even for a crazed Scientist. Whatever happened to just killing people? Now you have to bring them back to life just to rub it in? What a dick.

Anyway, as you've more than likely guessed the virus gets loose and mayhem ensues. Messy, funny mayhem.

Maybe I have a complete lack of quality control but I liked this film. Some dubious acting aside it's actually pretty enjoyable. And it gets a hell of a lot more mileage out of its "...On a Plane" premise than 'Snakes on a Plane' did. Having a largely unknown cast helps the film along to, as you never know who's going to be offed next. On more than one occasion someone who I thought was going to survive is quickly dispatched with, so it all came as a pleasant surprise.

The only real issue I can take with it is that it takes a little while to get going. The shit really hits the fan about 40 minutes in, but once it does its a blast.

Special mention should go to Kevin J O'Connor. The guy was in this and 'There Will be Blood' in the same year. And he's excellent in both of them. Of course it'll come to no surprise to fans of the genre, but to everyone else he's an Actor known as "Oh, that guy!" He also gets that great quote at the top of the page.

The film is nicely directed by Scott Thomas, who also directed something called 'Latin Dragon', which just sounds all kind of awesome. He pulls out some nice shots that betray the films low budget, even though it seems like a glorified TV movie at times.

Oh it also has a Nun getting her legs bitten off. Come on, why wouldn't you WANT to see this?
