Dead Heading

Zero plot, zero talent in the acting which was so wooden, the only thing that could improve it is a circular saw, a hammer and some nails. It's only a 1 as there isn't a zero option. Save yourself 90 minutes of your life. I watched it on fast forward and it was still glacially slow with no real ending.

For starters this is what you might call a "B" movie meaning production values aren't that great. And yet: it's quite an engrossing thriller with an interesting ending. This irrational negativity in "reviews" on this platform reduces its credibility to nothingness. Enjoy this interesting thriller with a satisfying ending. I really hope people don't put much value in imdb ratings; for once I didn't look at them and watched this, skeptical because of the production quality, and fully enjoyed it. Definitely found myself guessing and initially figured the film was going to be about the woman being set up and finding the "real killer." Was surprising when it was not that. Give it a shot.

Well, while not the best film ever, it showed promise. It just needed a good edit to improve the pace, and delete some of the scenes that weren't needed and didn't help the plot or anything. It wasn't as terribly bad as some reviews, and i didn't think the acting was so terrible either. Making films is hard y'all. Credit to those who write and produce themselves, try and do something they believe in and just go for it. Sure there'll be some falls along the way.

I bought this on disk from a Dollar Tree having never heard of it, just taking a chance on some lower budget horror.

The set-up is a bit different than the tagline. It's not really "on a plane" but in a hotel, mostly in the main character's room. But other than the tagline suggesting more of a "Turbulence" or "Red Eye" sort of film, we get the idea pretty quickly, as she's in the room right away.

I'll do my best to avoid spoilers, but I'll say that the MC's "motivation" is a little heavy handed. Sure, guys can be skeevie and garbage at taking hints, but I'm not sure viewers will necessarily feel like they're on her side, let's say that.

I wish I could see the budget, because I suspect it was pretty low and yet I liked how it was shot, how things unfolded, and the buried guns as the story progressed. The effects were about on par with what I'd expect at this range, as well.

The story and writing was actually not shabby, considering that many low-budget horror flicks get mired in justifying why the characters do X or why circumstances went in Y direction. That was all right.

Inevitably, the acting is going to get a little rough, but that was pretty much with anyone save for the two central characters, meaning they did a pretty solid job, while you're one-liner supporting cast could prove a little weak (again, kinda expected).

It held some twists I didn't see coming or details I'd failed to remember, which is good. The ending could have been stronger, but that very much felt like a budget issue not a skill issue, if that makes sense.

An occasionally suspenseful film about a reasonably attractive, generally decorous female flight attendant with an ambivalence toward males, a yen for alcohol and a nagging compulsion to be something considerably darker than her occupation would suggest. One could speculate what Alfred Hitchcock or Brian de Palma might have made of such raw material, but, alas, touches of cinematic panache are few and far between. There is some closing ambiguity re whether the filmmakers were rooting for or against their heroine. As usual, that does nothing to bring closure to the viewer, but perhaps there will be a sequel.
