Flight of the Living Dead Trailers

On a flight from Los Angeles to Paris, a mad scientist on the run from the CIA is transporting a coffin containing the body of a colleague infected with a genetically modified virus. While the 747 crosses a violent thunderstorm, the instability of the aircraft allows the corpse to get out of its container.

Reviews
Perry Kate Very very predictable, including the post credit scene !!!
Connianatu How wonderful it is to see this fine actress carry a film and carry it so beautifully.
StyleSk8r At first rather annoying in its heavy emphasis on reenactments, this movie ultimately proves fascinating, simply because the complicated, highly dramatic tale it tells still almost defies belief.
Francene Odetta It's simply great fun, a winsome film and an occasionally over-the-top luxury fantasy that never flags.
ralphkelly What more can a geek ask for. But this is a genuinely good film despite the lack of star or director power. The effects aren't bad, the pacing is great and most importantly the film never takes itself or the subject seriously, which is what these films need to be. A confined space and flesh-eating zombies have been a staple of horror and science fiction ever since Romero's 1968 magnus opus but its films such as these that make sure the formula never gets old or cliched. (Give Flight of the living dead a chance).
metalrage666 I usually love zombie flicks, the great ones, the good ones, even the adequate ones are worth it for a few looks and a few laughs, but Flight of the Living Dead turns out to be little more than a decent concept executed rather poorly. Basically an altered malaria "virus" (which is impossible for reasons I won't bore you with here), has been engineered to reanimate dead organs and therefore dead people as well, so the doctors who concocted this abomination of science are traveling on a commercial flight to Paris with their dirty little secret locked up in the cargo hold watched over by a machine gun toting lunatic in a bio- hazard suit. After some turbulence shakes loose the suspect cargo and injures the guard, a woman bursts out complaining of pain and suffering disorientation. It seems that this woman is a fellow doctor who's been infected with this retro virus and gets gunned down for her trouble. The virus brings her back to life, she takes out the wounded guard and the rest of the movie writes itself. After the 2 doctors go down to investigate the situation and are killed for their efforts by the now 2 zombies, 2 become 4 and pretty soon there's pandemonium on board as others are bitten or half eaten until the living dead have all but taken over. The 4 remaining survivors manage to crash land the plane just outside of Vegas along with a handful of zombies who get loose and start making their way to the city where the film ends, thereby setting it up for a sequel. This is a fairly abysmal movie even by zombie standards mainly because movie makers still don't appear to have a clue as to how planes actually work or how pressurized cabins react to sudden variances. Usually zombie films aren't known for their accuracy but there's this idea of "well zombies aren't real, so why bother with facts like physics". Another annoying factor is this new breed of zombie that manifested itself in the classic remakes or re- imaginings, where they're all super strong, super fast and hyper aggressive. The movie tries to explain away these traits by saying that the inhuman qualities are the result of the virus but after seeing the same fast paced bloodlust in every zombie/virus film of the last 15-20 years, enough is enough. Call me old fashioned but I prefer my zombies slow and silent. In a confined, claustrophobic space like a plane, slow zombies would have created a better atmosphere of suspense and tension. Zombies leaping through the air like acrobats is just stupid. Aside from all that, there are a couple of interesting and amusing scenes, but the clichéd use of eclectic passengers detracts from focusing on what little story there is and instead just broadcasts a series of lame setups everyone saw coming. Why does every plane have to have a prisoner in handcuffs? Or a couple that just can't seem to wait to get it on in the bathroom. And in this case, it's a cheating couple, so you know they'll end up as food. I've also never known a plane to have crawlspaces big enough to hide in, or big enough for zombies to grab you and drag you through the bathroom mirror. You can't open an aircraft door in a pressurized cabin by simply flipping the handle and the effects of doing that are immediate, there's no build up of vacuum, if you're standing there, you're gone. The number of passengers seems to constantly change, guns used are never reloaded, all the zombies can't wait to sink their teeth into the exposed flesh of any random passenger, except for when the script calls for them to just stand there growling for several seconds in front of a remotely recognisable actor so they can get shot in the head instead. What decent and amusing scenes there are, end up being overshadowed by the excessive use of frenzied camera movements. Be prepared to pause and rewind a lot if you want to try and catch everything that's going on at once. While some have claimed that this is an underrated entrant into the zombie family, I just can't agree with that sentiment. This is OK enough for a late night horror flick but the production value, and effects are far too lame to make this fully enjoyable and 5 minutes after it ends you'll barely be able to remember most of it.
horrorfan198129 I came across this did for a £1.00 at the old woolworths store, full uncut version.I thought it be another low budget attempt at a zombie film...i was wrong.Eric Avari (The Mummy) plays somewhat of a mad scientist transferring a dead female colleague in a chriogenic freezer with a armed guard on a 747 plane from Los Angeles to Paris, after a bit of turbulence the freezer breaks down and she is awake and turns into a zombie and starts to infect all on board.This film does have its small comedy bits but its a 100 per cent gore fest for those who enjoys a good Zombie movie.
matzekarajanov-522-547176 Trailer looks funny, but it's desceptingafter 15 minutes you probably think this is going to be a good movie. The acting from the start is not that bad. But after the zombie virus breaks out, the acting level drops to a seven year old.It is unwatchable, waste of time, and i wan't my 1:20:00 min back. Unreversable regretment.My advice is if you are looking for a movie, with great acting and special effects this is going to be a big disappointment.Worst Zombie movie I've watched in years, Rather watch election propaganda than this, since you already know from the start you get bad acting.
