The first in a semi-regular (until I get a real job) feature where I review crappy movies or tv. The sort of stuff you would not normally watch unless you were underemployed or worked bizarre hours.
Flight of the Living Dead: Outbreak on a Plane (2007)
Yup, zombies on a plane. Basically someone saw Snakes On A Plane and thought they had a brilliant idea on their hands (Vampires On A Plane, Rabid Badgers On A Plane and so on). This thing is full of pretty much every cliche character there is: the regular-joe cop, the pilot on his last flight before retirement, the dumb jocks and their girlfriends who don't seem to like them, the smart assed criminal who will redeem himself with a final selfless act, the evil scientist, his less-evil assistant who has feelings of guilt &tc. Is screenplay writing so lucrative that even knocking off something as stupid as this gets you a pretty good paycheque?
Essentially the evil scientists create a new form of malaria that infects people. Once infected they then become semi zombies (bit confusing here) and when they die they come back as full-on brainz eatin' zombies.
Wouldn't say a total waste of time to watch this, definitely ok to have on while you are doing laundry or ironing shirts. I probably fast forwarded through about 1/3 of the movie and it took almost 30min before an actual zombie showed up.
My rating 2 out of 4.
