 Zombie Airlines Departing Now! September 11, 2009
Richard Nervous (Florida)
I have always been interested in this one. I saw "Snakes on the Plane" and thought it was ok but nothing spectacular but what better movie idea than to have zombies running free on a plane with nowhere to run? It sounded like a spectacular plot idea to me! I love Z Grade zombie horror movies and this one really sounded like it would fit the bill, heck for $5.99 it was worth a try.
I sat down to watch it and really didn't expect too much, but boy was I surprised. This one is actually very good for what it is. The nice thing about this flick is that they didn't put a whole lot of back story in it, it starts and you are already on the plane. The action takes a few minutes to build as they explain why there are going to be zombies on the plane and then off it goes. This thing is a non stop rollercoaster ride of zombie mayhem.
It is pretty relentless once the action starts going and I guarantee that you won't be bored by it. There are even some comedic moments in it to lighten the mood and it looks like that the cast and crew of this movie had a great time while shooting it. You can almost feel that in the film. They knew that they weren't creating the next great epic horror film but a fun ride for 90 minutes.
If you aren't into zombies and bloodletting then this is not the type of film for you, it's not overly gory but I'm jaded as I've seen 1000's of horror films and I don't really realize something is really gory unless it's completely over the top.
For the uninitiated you might be shocked by the blood and gore, for most zombie fans it definitely fits the bill.
Pro's:
Camerawork
Video Quality
Sound
Outtakes are hilarious
Story (there's not much of one, thankfully)
Acting is ok (it's a zombie movie)
Special Effects
Con's:
Stereotypical Characters (is that really bad, heck it's a zombie movie!)
CGI (some of it is hilarious, especially the outside shots of the plane! It's campy so it might actually be a pro.)
In short, take a ride on Zombie Airlines, it will leave you in pieces and laughing at the same time!
Great flick June 6, 2009
Mandy Lynn Caron (elko nevada)
Not a bad movie its got great graphic arts and actors, may come off a tad cheap but its worth the money.
zombie infected mayhem @ 30.000 feet! Surprisingly funny though. :) May 14, 2009

I have seen all of the zombie type films since their creation and this film at first made me pass it over many times believeing it serious crap. I watched it, was amused and had some serious laughs over the absurd hijinks of the living as well as the undead. One point was the fact they were taking a jab at Tiger Woods. Apparenrtly the only Black passenger of two not counting the stewardess who happened to be a golf superstar]. I laughed everytime he appeared on screen. The convict who happened to get away and help be the hero and save the day was more than a mouthful. He never shut up and that made the film lighter than others in the same genre. I laughed at his bumbling antics and smart-@$$ mouth assault throughout the entire movie. I gave this film four stars because it was not too bad and it was so predictable. Every black character died [a standard in horror films now] and again this next one liner had me splitting my sides; The old lady zombie was biting the convict guy and he responede: "She's gumming me to death!" That scene was the best if not the only scene in the whole movie. Right now I am laughing about it writing this review. Give it a try just to have all the zombie type films in your library.
Its alright nothin special April 14, 2009
Leonardo P. Franco (Miami, FL USA)
This movie was pretty good i kinda liked it, the zombies werent like any other wild undead they looked more monsterish n demonish instead of teared skin they have demonish eyes n skin colors but the movies ok its better if they continued from the end.
 I am tired of these mother------ dead on this mother------ plane! February 8, 2009

Flight of the Living Dead: Outbreak on a Plane (Scott Thomas, 2007)
I'm sure I've asked this before in recent reviews, since by my mental count I've now noticed it four times in horror flicks I've watched over the past couple of weeks, but I shall ask it again: why is it that horror movie foley artists are so drawn to the sound effects from the first two Doom games? If it's a zombie movie made in the past ten years or so (and even some non-zombie movies), there's almost a guarantee that if you listen hard enough, you're going to hear a zombie marine, an imp, a revenant, or (even in auto commercials!) the big boss on the final level of Doom 2. Since I started noticing it, it's become quite an annoyance, and in general, I give a movie automatic points off for using them. There are, however, exceptions to every rule, and my exception to this one seems to be movies that are already so incredibly stupid, and yet so fun, that they defy having points taken off for, well, anything. Flight of the Living Dead: Outbreak on a Plane is one of those movies. It's bad, of course it's bad. But really, you don't go into a movie with this title expecting Billy Wilder. If you do, you deserve what you get. The rest of us will be too busy laughing to commiserate with you.
The clichés start coming thick and fast as soon as the script begins; you'll probably be unsure whether this is supposed to be a ripoff of Snakes on a Plane or Airplane! at first. Which is okay, that's what the writers wanted you to think. (I assume, anyway.) And if you think about it, those two movies had quite a bit in common anyway; a cast of established B-list stars and has-beens, unintentional humor weaved in with the intentional stuff, a great sense of comic timing for both, and surprisingly solid character development for its main stars, even if the minor characters were cardboard in the extreme. All of these also apply to Flight of the Living Dead. David Chisum (One Life to Live) is a cop escorting a criminal of the evil-mastermind type (Lord of Illusions' Kevin J. O'Connor). The stewardesses? Kristen Kerr (Inland Empire) and Mieko Hillman (American Empress). The slightly crazy guy who makes everyone ill at ease? Richard Tyson (Black Hawk Down), playing his low-rent-Val-Kilmer thing up as much as possible. Pilot and Co-pilot? Raymond J. Barry (Walk Hard: The Dewey Cox Story) and Todd Babcock (Gods and Monsters). You get the idea. This is not a cast that's going to completely blow it; someone's going to do it right. Every once in a while in a movie like this, everyone does it right, and this is one of these movies. Another thing all three movies I'm comparing have in common is that they wouldn't work unless everyone involved played it as if they were taking it seriously. And it works here just as well as it did in those two movies. (You'll notice I've avoided the usual plot synopsis. That's because, well, you shouldn't need it. I mean, I think this is even the same set from Snakes on a Plane!)
If all this makes you feel the next sentence in this review should be "if you liked Airplane! and/or Snakes on a Plane...", you're right. This manages to be both a parody of an earlier film and a worthy piece of celluloid on its own. As long as you approach it with the right mindset, it's a great deal of fun and well worth your time. ***
