Voo 7500

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.

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.

Hell even the Wayans Brothers make-up in White Chicks was scarier than this

But then again it seems like the director intentionally tried to make it as unscary as possible, with showing as little scares in your face as possible and keep everything very suggestive with little to no visual gore

And the acting doesn't help either, you get no real sense of fear in any of the people involved

The cast on paper is fairly impressive, a lot of famous faces there with actors and actresses that have done well in other things, but here they don't even seem to try

And perhaps my initial comparison with Lifetime movies wasn't that far off, this really has sort of a TV-movie feel to it

It's incredibly slow as well, with a running time of 75 minutes without the credit you'd expect that it couldn't get boring very often but it really does, more than once

There are so many better thrillers that take place on a plane than this one so if you're considering watching this despite of what I just wrote let me instead recommend: SNAKES ON A PLANE, NON STOP, FLIGHTPLAN, RED EYE, PASSENGER 57... Heck even PANIC BUTTON is better than this...

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.
