what the hell?


did i miss something? this movie makes no sense....
if the crash victims want revenge then why do they kill the photographer and his girlfriend?
how does using the pilot and the medium help them find out why the plane crashed? aren't the spirits like around us all the time....eavesdropping?

in the book you find out there was an evil man on the plane...its his ghost that is going round killing people

That helps a bit.

After peeking at the reviews that were all very positive mainly the title "True sleeper that's highly enthralling!".. and Jenny Agutter.. thought I'd give this a go, but agree with OP.. What the hell?

Had a few things going for it:
1. Awesome opening sequence, wondered if there was some stock footage so well done. Which reminded me of Pitch Black.
2. Cool end scene in the warehouse walking and lights.
3. Brilliant cinematography and music.
4. Jenny Agutter

The rest was a mess. Surprised no-one mentioned The Omen. Agree with an outside reviewer, trying to cram to many different horror aspects into the one movie pie. But I think all that was to confuse and distract you from what was a very predictable 'twist'.

// Brilliant cinematography and music.//

that's pretty much the only thing it has going for it. besides that its a pretty awful movie.

yep, you missed something. we all missed something. very little of this film makes sense. it's a mess. it seems like half the film is missing

i think they killed the photographer & wife because they were going to profit from the crash

Having read all Herbert's novels but 'The Survivor', I just got round to watching this movie and came on here to see if I could fathom what the hell I'd just seen!

Dreadful movie and completely over-run by the loud music.

I read the user comments and can't belive what I saw - they all sing the praises of it saying it's one of the best Aussie movies - I sure wouldn't want to see the worst then!

Maybe I best get hold of the book?

All my own humble opinion of course.
