CLICK FOR TRAILER

Passengers aboard a flight across the Pacific Ocean encounter a supernatural force in the air, they are not alone.

Anybody else looking forward to this?  I think 2013 is going to be the year for horror, putting aside remakes, this movie looks super good, and IMO is super good.

After countless hours searching online I came across the script last month.  It was really good.  Not groundbreaking, but it was a refreshing read with some really great ideas.  It stars Leslie Bibb, Ryan Kwanten,  Amy Smart, Scout Taylor Compton among others.

Don't think there's a release yet.  Not even a poster.  Just the trailer and that's it.  There's an air of mystery around this and that's what I like.  The script certainly lived up to my expectations, but it may not be for everyone.

The trailer doesn't grab me. It seems like any run-of-the-mill haunted house stories, only it's on a plane.

I actually really loved the trailer. And I can tell you it's not your average run of the mill haunted house story, although the trailer might give that impression off to some people.

I'm with Phil, this one ain't for me.

I remember seeing the trailer back in February 2012, and it didn't do anything for me then, either.

I'm always open for surprises, but I don't have high hopes for this... It looks like Paranormal Activity meets Snakes on a Plane, heh heh.

Hmmm... Amy Smart. Worth a look then ;D

Well, of anyone ever wants to read the script, just hit me up.

Regarding the trailer, I love it. I just love the way it looks and the darkness of it, and the song playing over it really creepy, lol.

Hey Curt-- send me a copy, please.

It's probably worth a look...

Not a lot seems to happen in the trailer - it's been likened to Snakes on a plane, but without the snakes ...?

In a mud-wrestling contest between Chung and Smart, my money would go on Chung.

Hey, thanks for sending me the script Curt.

I think I liked it for the most part.  There are some scenes that definitely struck out to me: the 'cargo' scene with Laura and when the two prankster guys sneak upstairs.

I'm not quite sure if certain scenes will translate well to the screen, for example, the 'creature'-thing with red eyes crawling on the nose of the plane toward Captain Hanning... that would probably look like CGI cheese.  I'm also not too sure how all the mist/ghostly scenes will look.

There was a lot of mis-directions with the wooden box, the ghost of Lance, that really never went anywhere with the final 'revolution'... they were just there.

But I did like the ending.  I thought it was going to be a typical, cop-out ending but there was more to it and if filmed correctly, it could be immensely chilling to view.
