gpeltz Plain Dead (2007), aka "Flight of the Living Dead", Directed by Scot Thomas and written by Sidney Iwanter and Mark Onspaugh, is a goofy and entertaining little horror/adventure film, Spoiler Alert ahead, I will be talking detail, so watch the film and see if we agree.Planes make dandy hotbeds for all manner of creatures, The popular and successful Snakes on a Plane was released a year earlier,(2006) Here the creatures are Zombies. In all fairness, the Zombie on a Plane was more recently dealt with in the 2013 World War Z.The earnest cast includes David Chisum as agent Truman, escorting an international con man, Frank played merrily by Kevin O Connor. 'Stereotypes abound on this flight, Heros and villains. Richard Tyson plays a celebrity Golf player, and Eric Avari plays the despicable Dr Bennett, who developed the Zombie Virus, The 747 is carrying the "special cargo" But we need not be concerned, because the cargo was secured, and nothing could go wrong.Aside from defying all laws of Logic, and keeping it's feet firmly planted in the Genera Cliché tradition, This picture manages to entertain, Yeah shoot off yer automatic weapons in the enclosed airspace. Two men are mysteriously killed in the Cargo area? Right, send down two more. By the third reel, options for plot development become slim, as the plane becomes zombified. Admit it, you knew the Nun was going to be zombied out, as well as the young lovers, and the odd Asian fellow, who does not get the concept of, "Unbuckle your seat belt". Not a fun flight for the stewardess either, who are reduced to calming down the passengers by asking if they want coffee. And this was to be the Captains last flight before retirement too. The production values were good, they had a dandy 747 interior set to play with, Music by Nathan Wang was properly suspense inducing, The gore effects were tolerable, and the closing act was oddly effective in keeping with the loony premise. "And what rough beasts slouch toward Bethlem...." Seven out of Ten, "Amuse me," Stars

Gabriel Teixeira A decent entry on the zombie sub-genre, 'Flight of the Living Dead' takes the usual zombie epidemic to an original place: a 747 flying from LA to Paris. During the flight, a mysterious scientific experiment that was being transported escapes, unleashing the zombies upon the unsuspecting passengers.'Flight' does not follow the Romero zombie film's, as in it isn't slow nor does it have a social commentary hidden in it. Instead, it is a gory, somewhat intense, and above all fun horror picture. The zombies are crawling through the airplane and can appear anywhere at any time; once there is an attack in the bathroom, and later some start coming from the floor.The acting is not bad, which is surprising for a movie like this (where good or even decent acting tends to be rarely found). The effects are okay, but the setting of the plane is what really steals the show. There is an incredible lack of logic in here though, especially the ending (which seems to invite a sequel) and the shoot outs in the plane, but the film's violent fun is enough to make this a decent movie overall. After all, this film main goal is to entertain and it accomplishes its task well.

Paul Magne Haakonsen Being a big fan of all things zombie, I just had to get my claws into this movie. And the synopsis and the DVD cover is very promising indeed, and the movie is actually not too shabby.The story is very limited in the sense that it doesn't really have much room to spread out as the movie is limited to action on an airplane. There was a way to have built more story to the movie, though the movie makers didn't opt to do this; they could have added more story and background to the characters and people on the plane. It was done all too shallowly and you never really got to immerse yourself into any of the characters really. That was a shame, because it could have brought the movie up a notch.As for the zombies; well they were actually quite cool. The make-up and special effects were good, and they had the zombies looking cool. However, one thing that didn't sit well with me was the bright yellow eyes! Why? They should have had milky glazed-over eyes, not those yellow eyes that are now associated with vampires with shiny skin and big hair! That made the zombies come off as something less than what zombies usually are.The small enclosed confines of an airplane really worked well for the movie, because it brought about a sense of claustrophobia, and there was no way out, nowhere to run. So that was actually a clever idea and it worked so well."Flight of the Dead" also had a quite good cast. There were some familiar faces on the screen, despite them having little on-screen time. But even the unfamiliar people did it good and worked their characters well.This movie provided good entertainment, and I have actually seen it twice so far. So if you are a zombie fan or a gorehound, then sink your teeth into "Flight of the Living Dead", because it is a good movie.

sharkytrax I loved this movie. If you are watching it as a documentary you will be disappointed, if you are watching it to be entertained you will have a blast. Hot chicks in miniskirts, zombies, campy fun, yet in a well made and directed movie. It's fun to watch it and say "Why can he pull out all of those wires and not harm the airplane and yet I can't use my cellphone? Hey, wait a minute, where did all of these guns come from? I want a gun. Why don't the stewardess's on my flights look like this?" P.S. I'm actually married to a stewardess and she screamed at the TV so many times due to factual errors but I'm buying the DVD because it was so fun.
