Exorcism at 60,000 Feet [Blu-ray]
- Brand: Unbranded
Description
The effects in the movie were adequate. Although you shouldn't expect to be blown away by spectacular Hollywood CGI effects. I laughed a bit, but overall I didn’t find Exorcism at 60,000 Feet anything special. As many jokes fall flat as work, and there’s just too much emphasis on juvenile, gross-out gags. There’s nothing wrong with them in and of themselves. But ninety-five minutes of almost nothing but them gets old fast. One of the big draws of Exorcism at 60,000 Feet is, of course, the cast. Apart from those already mentioned, there’s Adrienne Barbeau (The Fog, Hoax), Kelli Maroney (Night of the Comet, Hell’s Kitty), Kevin J. O’Connor (Deep Rising, The Mummy) and several other faces familiar to genre fans. My favorite bit from Exorcism at 60,000 Feet isn’t an obvious one. It’s not the Twilight Zone“There’s something on the wing!” reference, nor is it the pious nuns making out after being possessed by the onboard demonic fog, and it doesn’t feature a celebrated horror icon. Rather it’s a simple running gag about a bored passenger named Ms. Tang. As the doomed flight is overrun with a demonic presence we routinely cut to a single passenger on her phone calmly sitting in her seat mindlessly scrolling. After a few cuts to Ms. Tang it begins to dawn on me that she is essentially all of us right now lazily staring at our phones as chaos reigns around us. Or is that just me?
The movie begins with a Christian priest, Father Romero, exorcising a demon from two men, Lt. Garvan and Martin, by shooting Garvan in the head and killing him. Romero then boards a flight to Vietnam along with several other passengers. Garvan's remains are also on the plane. During the flight his body reanimates, allowing the demon to possess two of the passengers. Romero manages to successfully exorcise the passengers.

If you appreciate your horror films with a healthy dose of self-awareness and humor, you'll love "Exorcism at 60,000 Feet". This film never takes itself too seriously, and I mean that in the best way possible. The cast, including a slew of horror movie legends like Bill Moseley, Adrienne Barbeau, and Lance Henriksen as well as "The Crow" alum Bai Ling in a leading role have a blast delivering their lines on this over the top claustraphobic and demonic plane ride. Exorcism at 60,000 Feet premiered on August 9, 2019 at Hollywood Horrorfest, [2] [3] followed by a Blu-ray, DVD, and VOD release on May 5 of the same year through Shout! Factory Films. [1] Reception [ edit ]Romero tells a Rabbi, named Feldman, that he had served with Garvan during the Vietnam War. The lieutenant had put him in a coma for several years, due to Garvan having a mental breakdown and shooting both Romero and a little girl he was trying to exorcise. The demon possesses several others, one of which results in a possessed pregnant woman giving birth to a demon baby that gets flushed down the toilet. Together, the priest and rabbi go to the cargo hold to battle Garvan, who manages to escape by overwhelming Romero with visions. A mundane flight to Vietnam turns ugly when Father Romero (Robert Miano) boards the airplane after a, particularly horrific exorcism. Onboard he is met with a host of outrageous characters just trying to survive the turbulence and the irritable cabin crew. When strange things start happening to the passengers Father Romero becomes paranoid that his work may have followed him on the plane. Seeking help from Rabbi Larry Feldman (Robert Rhine) the two men of God try to stop the evil that is possessing the passengers. What lured me in to watch "Exorcism at 60,000 Feet" was the fact that it was a horror comedy, and most definitely because it had Bill Moseley, Lance Henriksen and Bai Ling on the cast list. Well, Lance Henriksen wasn't particularly impressive as the pilot in this movie, in fact his performance was just bland. Bill Moseley, while definitely had an interesting character and role, was just not utilized enough in the movie, his talent was just squandered. Bai Ling, however, well she was great in her role, and it was enjoyable to watch her, but she could do only so much to salvage a boring script and plot. It’s up to Father Romero and Rabbi Larry Feldman (Robert Rhine, Bus Party to Hell) to stop the wave of possessions before there’s nobody left to land the plane. The real question of course is, how funny is Exorcism at 60,000 Feet. That will depend on your sense of humour. The jokes are tossed around constantly, with the hope that people will find enough of them funny to keep them happy. But the ones who will be the happiest are those who find jokes about used tampons in food hysterical. Or think a mentally challenged dwarf dressed up as a little kid is sidesplitting.

Given his roles in The Twilight Zone’s “Nightmare at 20,000 Feet” and the TV movie The Horror at 37,000 Feet, he would be a natural choice. And since he’s doing films like The Devil’s Revenge, he can’t be too fussy about the roles he takes. Opening Night with EXORCISM AT 60,000 FEET". Hollywood Horrorfest (Blog post). 21 August 2019 .

Because of how outlandish some of the scenes in this are, you WILL see one or two things you've NEVER seen in a horror film before. During the chaos, Romero discovers that one of the passengers, Amanda, is the sister to the little girl Garvan murdered. He successfully persuades her to assist him and together they convince one of the pilots to fly the plane to 60,000 feet (18,288 meters), as this will take them further from Hell and the source of the demon's powers. More deaths and possessions occur, but ultimately Romero, Feldman, Amanda and several other survivors land the plane, only to be met by Garvan's corpse and several other undead, possessed people.
