Flug 7500 - Sie sind nicht allein

In Los Angeles, the Vista Pacific Flight 7000 departs to Tokyo in a ten- hour flight. The flight attendants Laura Baxter (Leslie Bibb) and Suzy Lee (Jamie Chung) receive the passengers, among them Brad (Ryan Kwanten) and his wife Pia Martin (Amy Smart) that have broken up; the newlywed Rick (Jerry Ferrara) and Liz Lewis (Nicky Whelan) that are traveling in a honeymoon trip; and the well-resolved Jacinta Bloch (Scout Taylor- Compton), who is sat close to Liz and Rick. Laura is having a love affair with the Captain Pete Haining (Johnathon Schaech) that is married and her behavior is questioned by Suzy. After passing by a turbulence, the passenger Lance Morrell (Rick Kelly) dies and the crew brings his body to the first class. Then there is a pressure drop in the cabin and Brad helps several passenger to use the oxygen mask. When the pressure returns to normal, Captain Haining loses contact with ground control. Soon weird things happen in the plane and Brad, Rick, Jacinta, Pia and Liz decide to investigate who Lace was. Soon they find that he was a dealer of dolls and a "shinigami" inside a wooden box. Jacinta explains that the Eastern doll would be equivalent to The Ripper; however she collects souls only if those that let go whatever hold them to Earth. What has happened to the Flight 7500?

"7500" is a horror movie directed by the cult-director Takashi Shimizu from "The Grudge", with a good story that deserved a better screenplay. The creepy conclusion is a great twist and surprises any viewer. Unfortunately many of them did not understand the message of the story. First of all, death is part of life since everyone is going to die. Therefore, we should not waste time with insignificant things and try to resolve any problem with those we love; otherwise we would regret when time comes. Last but not the least, when death comes, the person shall have resolved whatever holds him or her to Earth; otherwise the person will be trapped in-between. Back to the movie, when Jacinta discovers what has happened to her, she easily waits for the "shinigami". However, the death doll does not collected the souls of the two couples since they still have problems between them. My vote is six.

Title (Brazil): "Vôo 7500" ("Flight 7500")

At first when i read about this movie I was quite interested but the name Takashi Shimizu immediately killed my interest. However since there was nothing good to watch I thought just give it a try if it's boring i can turn it off.

Considering Takashi Shimizu movies are poorly executed this is his most decent flick to date as stated by a previous reviewer. It's watchable, decent storyline but too rushed. If only the ending wasn't so rushed it would be a very decent horror flick.

Overall it is watchable not slow like most movies directed by Japanese directors. Just don't expect anything from this movie.

Usually Japanese Horrors are up there with the top horror movies I have seen (The Ring, Grudge, etc) so when I saw this was Japanese production I had I hopes for a thrill. Unfortunately I feel for some reason the director tried to hard to please the Hollywood crowd.

Lets start with the good.... The concept and plot is fresh and interesting - horror on a plane. The tense build up to the horror is done well. The Twizzlers sticks twist.

Then the bad.... The characters are stereotypical Hollywood horror cast - young couple, goth, guy who cant wait to get some, pilot having an affair with the air hostess. When things start "happening" things get a bit confusing with "things" crossing into many horror genres it does not really make sense and just gets silly.

The ugly... Some of the acting and dialog is a bit amateurish. They could have done with a more international cast The tense build up to that horror scene - is cut away so you don't really see people fate, just screaaaammmm....cut, scccrreeeaammm... cut.

Not too bad. Not very scary either, but entertaining.

It's not a waste of time but might be a waste of your money depending on what you pay to see it, and what the alternatives are.

The ending was truly shocking - I did absolutely not expect such an unoriginal resolution.

-1 for that.

Not much more to say, and I don't see why IMDb requires 10 lines of text in the review.

Not all movies are made by David Lynch and needs to be analyzed to death.

I waited years to see 7500, after numerous delays I thought I'd never experience it. The trailer looked promising, and rather terrifying too. Finally, I've seen this supernatural thriller set on a plane, and I am wholly disappointed. 7500 looks cheap, the dialogue is so unnatural it makes for unintentional laughter and the characters have no backstory or depth. Praise however goes to Nicky Whelan, whose performance is very real and rather amusing at times as a clean freak chatterbox who feels the need to boast to any passenger in her proximity. I've met people like this in real life so this character is relatable and plays a good foil to the supernatural element...An element that fails thanks to some of the most shopworn and cheap jump scares ever put to film. Without an eerie atmosphere or dread, this flight is grounded.
