Monster on a Plane

The title alone would tell you that this is a derivative plot along the lines of "Snakes on a Plane" or any other number of movies that feature in-flight disaster by some creature. It is interesting that this is a German-made movie mostly all in English but that resulted in weird accents and poor acting. There are gratuitous scenes of sex and nudity, and the plot in general was so familiar that the main distinguishing factor was the monster in question, which is really not explained how it came about or for what reason this mad scientist was transporting it. For lovers of horror movies, there is enough gore to satisfy them, and while some reviewers give this movie a better rating than I am, well, everyone is entitled to their taste. I am usually generous when it comes to bad horror films but in this case, I could not bring myself to give it more than three stars.

With a title like Monster on a Plane, you know exactly what you're in for, and it delivers in the best way possible. Firmly planted in the "Trash Cinema" genre, the film surprises with a charm and quality and a sense of self-awareness that makes it stand out. It's pure, unapologetic entertainment from start to finish, maintaining a lively pace that keeps you engaged throughout. The humour is delightfully tongue-in-cheek, adding a playful edge to the chaos. With several good performances from non-native English-speaking actors, Monster on a Plane is a fun, entertaining, thrilling ride that doesn't take itself seriously and is well worth the watch.

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.

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.
