Flight of the Living Dead (2007)

For all the hype it got I was expecting a lot more!

A lot more amusing than I thought it would be.

The performances transcend the film's tropes, grounding it in characters that feel more complete than this subgenre often produces.

Story: It's very simple but honestly that is fine.

Flight of the Living Dead is exactly what you'd expect it to be. A low budget, campy, silly zombie movie that is ludicrous, violent and full of D-list actors. It's a film full of "Hey! I know that guy!" actors who play the bit roles in a thousand different shows and movies.The special effects are pretty bad, definitely low budget. The airplane they're on is definitely built to "Hollywood standard". Having crucial control panels in places where they never would be, amazing ducts that seem to have more space in them than the plane itself, sections of the plane that are made of titanium or cardboard as the scene requires. lolThe acting is wonderfully bad, with lots of stupid one liners, completely out of place comments and just horrible decisions that only ever happen in the movies.All in all, it's a fine example of a fun movie to waste a couple of hours with.

Even "1" star is way too high a score.This film is so bad it actually does not even deserve a review, so I have used the following sentences to give you an idea of its quality. "Show me a freshly painted wall, I'll watch it dry." "Help me! My brain has started to melt and it has only been 10 minutes." "I love custard pies in the face." "Pass me that bucket I'm going to be sick." "Please can I have my brain back?" "Take my eyes and ears away!" "Oh whoops I've stepped in dog pooh." "My TV has fallen in love with a sledgehammer."The above sentences represent the viewing experience from start to end.Take care everyone and may all your dreams come true! :D

FLIGHT OF THE LIVING DEAD is one of those bargain basement horror outings that it's all too easy to pass by in the video store. The title alone makes it sound like a cheesy riff on George Romero's classic zombie fest and you just know it's going to invariably be low budget and rather silly in places. As it turns, it's far from the worst zombie movie ever made – it has better production values than APOCALYPSE OF THE DEAD, for example – but it has crucial flaws that spoil its entertainment value.One of the worst is how the scenes involving the undead are actually handled. They're portrayed in the cheesiest, over-the-top manner possible, with some CGI effects that are absolutely awful and some make-up and contact lenses that look like they belong at a Halloween party. It's strange, because the rest of the film is played relatively straight and seriously; there's a B-movie atmosphere, yes, but the actors are game and it all hangs together relatively well until the zombies show up.The interesting thing about this movie is the high number of familiar faces rounding out the cast. The captain of the plane, Raymond Barry, was a series regular on THE X-FILES; the bad guy, Erick Avarj, and the criminal, Kevin J. O'Connor, were both in THE MUMMY; Dale Midkiff was a leading man back in the day (think PET SEMATARY) but is now way down the cast list, while B-movie stalwart Brian Thompson shows up and is so embarrassed that his face is covered for the entire duration of his appearance (I only noticed him because of his name in the credits). Genre fans might enjoy themselves with this one, but I can't say I was particularly impressed; there are a lot better movies out there, and FLIGHT OF THE LIVING DEAD doesn't offer anything that we haven't seen before. I like the premise, but the execution could have been a lot better (and scarier) had it been handled more subtly.

If Wes Craven was to try his hand at a zombie film, this would be the end result, and I sincerely mean it was that bad. One part in particular brings this to mind, the people getting pulled through the bathroom mirror, just like the mother getting pulled through the window at the end of the original Nightmare on Elm Street. The cheesy teen drama and the 80's guitar ballads were so appropriate. Why not just call in Nightmare on the Plane. At the end of the film, somewhere between zombies flying through the air and the captain's head bursting like a water balloon, I began to believe this is probably the worst zombie film I can recall, apart from Night of The Living Dead 3D. With the Halloween shop gory effects and the acting, which was a step bellow a preschool presentation, it leaves me wondering why I rented this film, even if it was free. I'm sure I could have seen it on SyFy or Chiller.
