Exorcism at 60,000 Feet [Blu-ray]

Product Information

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. 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 ] It was essentially the storyline that killed the movie for me. I found it to be dull, pointless and rather simplistic. There really was no purpose to the storyline, and that made it feel like a movie without a drive. 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.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. After an exorcism that ends with a house full of dead bodies, Father Romero (Robert Miano, The Cloth, Assassin X) needs to catch a flight. And what a flight he catches. Flown by the hard-drinking Captain Houdee (Lance Henriksen, D-Railed, Mom and Dad) and with flight attendants Amanda (Bai Ling, The Crow, When The Devil Rides Out) and Thang (Matthew Moy, 2 Broke Girls). However, the flight to Vietnam gets turbulent when Garvan (Bill Moseley, The Church, Minutes To Midnight) begins possessing passengers. One absence is surprising though, William Shatner. 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.

Where Exorcism at 60,000 Feet falters is inconsistent pacing. You don’t get a sense of what this movie is doing until you’re knee-deep into the threadbare plot. Jokes are given priority seating which is understandable. However, the plot is crammed into whatever seat is leftover making for too much confusion. The film does clip along nicely which makes “casual viewing” a breeze. By the end, I thought this was a fun horror comedy that would pair well with a few beers. The talent alone is worth admission. Sure it's rough around the edges but isn’t that what we’re looking for in a movie like this? The effects in the movie were adequate. Although you shouldn't expect to be blown away by spectacular Hollywood CGI effects.Opening Night with EXORCISM AT 60,000 FEET". Hollywood Horrorfest (Blog post). 21 August 2019 .

There's no glaringly wooden acting like you see in a lot of other lower budget horror-comedies. The directing and the editing were also very well done throughout this fast paced film. a b c d e f g h i j k l Gingold, Michael (March 13, 2019).

Well "Exorcism at 60,000 Feet" is listed to be a horror comedy, and I suppose it is. However, it just failed to turn out to be funny in my personal preference. I didn't really laugh or enjoy what transpired on the screen.

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. I managed to sit through half of the movie, before I gave up and decided not to finish the rest of the movie. Director Chad Ferrin just failed to entertain me with what he did with the material from writers Robert Rhine and Daniel Benton. 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.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. 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. Exorcism at 60,000 Feet" feels somewhat like a strange mutation of "Airplane", those classic comedy spoofs, but it just fails to deliver as much humor and enjoyment as they did. 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.
