The Horror at 37,000 Feet (1973)
** 1/2 (out of 4)
AIRPORT with demons is the best way to sum up this made-for-TV flick that isn't one of the best out there but thankfully there's a terrific cast that helps make it entertaining. What we've basically got is a flight from London to Los Angeles where a couple bring on board an ancient abbey. Half way through the flight an invisible demon breaks free and goes after the passengers. THE HORROR AT 37,000 FEET isn't a masterpiece by any stretch of the imagination but if you enjoy these TV movies and you like the genre then you should be able to at least get a few kicks out of it. We get a pretty impressive cast that includes Chuck Connors, Buddy Ebsen, William Shatner and Paul Winfield and there's no question that these familiar faces help keep the film moving at times. I think out of all of them Winfield comes across the best as a good-hearted doctor trying to help people. Shatner is fun to watch as the former priest who has turned to alcohol instead of God. The screenplay offers up several interesting ideas, although not too much can be done with such a short running time of 74-minutes. I really liked how the demon was using the cold to work its magic as this here is something I've never seen before. There are some major problems in the picture and one is the incredibly bad and campy sound effects that play whenever the demon is at work. These things are never scary and quite often they kill whatever the film had working up. The shots of the plane flying are also quite laughable in how cheap they are but this here doesn't kill the film too much. THE HORROR AT 37,000 FEET is short enough and contains enough fun to make it worth viewing.

A transatlantic airliner full of stereotypes finds itself terrorised by an evil supernatural force that resides in the container hold. William Shatner stars in this one and he had this to say about his appearance, "I get sucked out of an airplane while carrying a lit torch into the airliner's baggage compartment while trying to confront a druid ghost." If that isn't a recommendation then I don't know what is! It is a film with some silly plot developments for sure (the doll!) but I am a sucker for any 70's movie set on a Boing 747 where disaster strikes and this is another one, even if it makes Airport '79 seem believable by comparison.
Disaster movie meets horror movie as supernatural events happen on a passenger plane.
This might be just a TV movie but this is more fun than Airport 1975 and Airport 79 put together!
1960s sci-fi stars William Shatner (Star Trek) and Roy Thinnes (QM's The Invaders) dealing with more out-of-this-world dangers in the early 1970s, that is what draws me to this movie.
But if you don't view the film that way, well, you might not get such a blast out of it. The horror element is very mild, in fact the first 30 or 40 minutes of the flick are more about the quirks of the passengers and crew of the plane...not much horror.
Produced by Anthony Wilson who was the story editor for all 83 episodes of Lost In Space.
I just found this long lost gem of a movie on YouTube with a surprisingly good print. I hope others enjoy it on YouTube, if it does not get taken down.

Reasons to recommend this TV-movie:
The story centres around an evil druid artifact that threatens the passengers and crew of an airliner in flight. Now how much more potential for good creepy fun could a premise hold? It's like something Matheson and Lovecraft might have put their heads together to come up with.
Eerie phenomena galore as the windows on a aircraft suddenly frost over as if blasted by an arctic breeze, spooky sounds (borrowed from "Forbidden Planet") echo through the plane and a flight officer inside an on board elevator is turned into a frozen corpse.
Great atmospheric music courtesy of Morton "Hawaii Five-0" Stevens.
William Shatner in one of his best post "Star Trek" roles plays an ex-priest who reclaims his faith to combat the evil force threatening the plane. It's almost too good to be true seeing Shatner once again on a plane encountering the supernatural just as he did in the similarly titled "Nightmare At 30,000 Feet" episode of "The Twilight Zone." And he's really good in this, too.
Roy Thinnes from "The Invaders" and "The Norliss Tapes" comes along for the ride playing the guy who brought the cursed artifact on board.
Also on the passenger list: grabbing an extra pay cheque in between episodes of "Barnaby Jones" is the one and only Buddy Ebsen. Hmm, actually he coulda' stayed on the ground, but then with a cast so jam-packed with stars at least one actor's presence is likely to stick out like a sore thumb, right?
Anyways, despite a little bit of questionable casting, a smidgen of scenery-chewing and a dash of dated effects, this is still quite an enjoyable little horror story that someone really ought to consider remaking.

... there is some degree of atmosphere (mostly taking place in the cargo room) in the movie, even though the acting looks like it leaped off the page of a graphic novel. Chuck Connors is Captain Slade, who flies the plane in the dark of night from London to New York. But something sinister is in the cargo hold: an ancient Druid altar containing a demon. Jane Merrow seems to know what is going on and blurts out the reason they are in danger, failing to leave anything to the viewer's imagination. William Shatner is a former priest who drinks far too much, and the inside temperature of the plane continues to drop. The big question is: will the airplane reach New York by sunrise?
Roy Thinnes, Russell (The professor) Johnson, Tammy Grimes, Paul Winfield and Buddy Ebsen provide reasonable support in this made-for-television movie. Best watched at the time I did (which was past midnight!), only one of the passengers makes a sacrifice to the demon.

- ट्रिवियाAt one point, William Shatner is seen alone, peering through an airplane window into the night. The shot recreates many similar scenes from Shatner's manic performance in the legendary Nightmare at 20,000 Feet (1963) of the original Twilight Zone series.
- गूफ़The airliner on take off is not a 747 but a T-Tail design airliner.
