*SPOILER* Would have been o-kay, had it not been for the last scene...


If whatever it was could transfer via audio cables, there was no need for the movie to be as long as it was. I know it wasn't Hamill's fault, but still, to take a role like this knowing it was crap was still a bad call. If he dies soon, I will mourn less because he subjected me to this cr#p...

Yep. It wasn't a good movie... it was already down to 2 of 5 stars on Netflix for me... and then the ending pretty much destroyed what little point there was and I had to 1 star it.

It was actually almost halfway decent when it seemed like it was just a killer on a plane. I prefer supernatural movies to slasher movies, but this did such a poor job setting up the supernatural bit that it was worse than nothing.

It was a weird role for Mark Hamill... at times in the movie I could swear they were dubbing him. He should stick to voice-overs. The world will always need his Joker.

I enjoyed the first half of the movie. You were not sure what was going on. But then it just got sloppy and downright stupid. Af first it starts out as a mystery movie. Then it becomes a slasher movie. Then it becomes a heist movie. Then it becomes a ghost movie. And then there is the ending which only pisses you off even more. The movie could have been good, but the writing and ten different directions it was trying to go in made it a film I wish I had not wasted my time on. If you have not seen it spare yourself. I beg you, spare yourself.

Ha Ha, I've just put myself through this and have to agree with you on your comments. I now have to ask myself: who keeps providing the funding for Mr. Dominic Burns to make these sort of movies? Like seriously? Can financiers not see a pattern here? (and I do not mean the same old same old actors that continue to pop up in his films)

and the motives of the villain.

I saw it yesterday, and I agree about the vector for the demon. The writers couldn't devise a way for the demon to live, so they flipped the script.

Just watched the movie again and agree. I couldn't see any auditory signals to many of the early "possessed" (peace-nic who bashed his head in on the box, Teutonic stewardess who shot herself. etc), It seems more spatially related. If the Air Traffic Controller (Mark Hamill) [Is it common for UK Air Traffic Controllers to have an American accent? I'm from North Dakota, USA, but I could probably fake a Manitoba Canadian's idea of a British accent, or a American's poor interpretation of a 40's, 50's movies or East Enders British accent.] could be infected by a radio transmission, why wouldn't such an "evil spirit" transmit over AM/FM/TV/SW bands all over the world? It does seem that the vector was revised midstream.

As for killing all the witnesses, I believe that is more common than anyone is willing to admit - lest they become one themselves.

I thought this thread would be about the fact that the "demon" went from possessing a person on the plane far away up in the air to possessing a person in the control tower! What???
