Flight of the Living Dead

It's zombies on a plane, you get the idea. Actually well done, a bit wonky in spots as it has the feeling that additional scenes were shot to fill out the movie and the additional scenes don't quite mesh with the rest of the film. For example when the plane is going through extreme turbulence, apparently certain areas of the plane are completely immune. Also, I don't know much about piloting aircraft but I'm pretty sure the tower's call sign isn't 'base'. One of the biggest goofs that I noticed was the plane suffers explosive decompression several times.

There are some real comedic moments especially with Derek Webster who plays as a golf pro named Long Shot. Long Shot carries a gold putter that he uses quite effectively against the zombies, even to decapitate a few getting a giggle from me each time. In a later sequence, Long Shot has quite the medley of zombie destroying weapons as he valiantly fights his way to the cockpit. The zombies are of the 28 Days Later variety but they are true ghouls here, not infected humans. The zombies are really what make this movie fun to watch. They are quick and devious and they skitter about like vicious beasts. My favorite skittering scene being a stewardess scurrying through a crawlspace in a short skirt carrying an arm in her jaws, beautiful! One of the best scenes happens in the bathroom, I will never feel safe in an airplane bathroom again.

The girls are beautiful and the stewardesses are sexy but all of them keep their clothes (I know some of you want to know this). The R rating to come is earned purely through blood, gore and violence. For the most part the characters are reasonably intelligent. There are some stupid things that happen, sometimes intentionally for comedic pleasure and sometimes because the film makers were lazy but this is a B movie so I can forgive a few gaffs. FOLD manages some true moments of suspense. Were the movie more polished I could have easily given it a 7/10. A must see for zombie fans or lovers of campy action movies.

I was very skeptical whether I should spend my time on watching this movie. First of all it has a very cheesy name, sounds like another cheap remake and DVD cover looks also not that good. But being a fan of zombie movies I decided to give it a try. I started watching it and first 35 minutes were just as I expected the whole movie to be, but surprisingly after first 35-40 minutes it gets much better, special effects, plot and even acting gets better, well acting gets better because all amateur actors are killed by zombies. I would say you can fast forward first 25 minutes, since nothing much happens in the beginning.

I liked this movie and would recommend it to all zombie fans :)

it's not a "hard zombie" film, but yet it manages to have a few "clever" scenes while mixing along some humour (not always necessary, one must admit it), which makes this film enjoyable and pleasant to watch.

the acting is fairly decent and well accomplished and the storyline, though not brilliant and all that elaborated. it still manages to keep the film from being yet another pretentious zombie production, producing good moments of solid action with a couple of more "heavy/scary" scenes, though i wouldn't quite call it a horror film.

a good option to consider ;)

If you're a zombie fan, this is worth watching, but it's not one of those gems, like Undead or Dead Meat, that you could watch again and again. Ideal for a good one-night rental.

There are tons of really awful zombie flicks out there, with stupid dialogue, bad acting, and even worse makeup and F/X. Then there are the few really awesome offerings, that just hit on all cylinders, and keep you on the edge of your seat and begging for more. This movie is neither. It's truly not a bad movie, either in the general sense, or simply as a zombie flick. In fact, it's actually kinda fun. The worst thing going for it is simply that it's virtually impossible to come up with anything new, since it's all been done before, so you can't help but make comparisons. Had most of the events we see in this movie not been seen before in some guise, this would probably be considered a keeper. But, since we have seen it all before, it's important to ask yourself one, simple question: Did I enjoy myself while watching this. And the answer is yes.

It's true that there are slightly campy moments. It's true that there are back-to-back scenes where in one someone hears a distant moan, but in the next doesn't hear gunfire from the same location. It's true that some of the dialogue is cheesy, and you feel the pain of the seasoned pro doing his best to recite them without feeling silly. Nevertheless, if you just allow yourself to sit back and be drawn-in to the story, and can sustain a little suspension of disbelief without falling back on the tried-n-true (albeit fun) habit of nitpicking every little mistake and silly bit, I really think you'll enjoy yourself, and can kill and hour-and-a-half that you may never get back, but won't mind losing. :)

I will never understand the haters of the zombie genre. Just like romantic comedy these gems are not made for everyone.

The few people who appreciate a good zombie movie will see the originality and joy in this movie. Granted it is not scary..AT ALL and it isn't nearly gory enough, but still this movie deserves its due. It took a concept that has been done to death, people locked in a confined area fighting back a zombie invasion...(Night of the Living Dead being the blueprint) and gave it a twist that I really appreciated.

Being trapped in a confined space with the Zombies, leaving you with zero room to hide and none of that long drawn out psychological mind-screw most films rely on to kill time.

I loved this movie, and if you love zombie flicks, I'm sure you will too.
