Monster on a Plane

Is he too old for that ... stuff? No pun intended and yes I know it's a famous line from a different actor! That's the fun with this - and if you had an issue with the joke I made ... well I should warn you, the quality of jokes in this movie ... and the quality of "acting" (intended and not) ... well there may not be a bottom to that barrel - just saying and warning.

Still if you suspend your disbelief and like movies with blood (and some nudity), with terrible one liners and a lack of a script ... well you could do worse I reckon ... which might have been funnier too than whatever it is we got here.

Still the actors know what they are in (movie wise but also sometimes body wise) ... and the monster that also is practical (to see and to touch as you may say) ... well quite the critter .. well it is what it is ... and you should know by the name of the title what you will be getting.

Movies like this are not meat to be taken seriously. In the same vein as movies by The Asylum or a movie like Sharknado this could be either laughably bad or just plain bad and sadly falls somewhere in between. I did laugh at some of the preposterous dialogue and ridiculous situations, but there were long stretches where it was just boring. The actual monster looked like a deranged Muppet. There were some sexy scenes thrown in that added nothing. The acting was all over the place, as if some of them took the role seriously and others were hamming it up. The script appeared to be written by a 13 year old. Be warned, this is a German production and while all actors except one speak English , their English is atrocious. There is some good gore, but for the most part this isn't very good.

Horror-comedies often thrive on absurd premises, but it's the execution, particularly in tone and humour, that determines their success. Monster on a Plane teased a fun ride with its trailer, promising gore and a cheeky tone. But does the film deliver on that promise?

Well, that depends on your tolerance for low-budget genre fare. The creature's rampage is mildly entertaining, and the film shows occasional flashes of inventiveness. However, the decision to shoot a German production in English backfires somewhat as the dialogue, acting and line delivery is absolutely brutal to get through. May be this one works better with the German language track.

In more capable hands, this could have been a gleefully chaotic cult hit. As it stands, it's a curious misfire with moments of charm buried beneath its many flaws.
