2008 Horror Fest: Flight Of The Dead: 65 Out Of 100 Stars

Upon starting this movie I was treated to the 3 best words one can ever see appear on a movie screen, "And Richard Tyson". Fuck yeah!!

There's not much to not like about this film as it does the zombie genre proud with some excellent manic direction and fun kills. The story shouldn't be much mystery given the title of the film but yeah, somehow a zombie gets on board a plane and havoc ensues.

My main problem with the film is the long setup, nearly 40 minutes before we get to the good stuff. I wouldn't mind that if there were some good sex, nudity or funny moments but really it's just 40 minutes of set up, which is way too long. We are introduced to a number of characters, the 2 pairs of college couples going on a trip, the black golfer who carries his driver with him (it comes in handy of course), the federal agent transporting a criminal (who's list of crimes includes stealing a jet from the Russian mafia. That skill will also come in handy). A nun, A Sky Marshall played by Richard Tyson in a beret! A beret Jerry!!! Of course there's also a rogue research team that has developed a way to bring dead cells back to life, and the cargo they're transporting is very dangerous!

Once things get rolling we're given a copious amounts of kills done very nicely, a good amount of laughs and just an overall fun time.

Like I said, it could have used some more booty and nudity, boobies never hurt. And it takes awhile to get going, but once it does you'll have a blast. Reserve a seat on Concord Air today, but watch your back!
