4 stars out of 5.
Adult Stuff-
After 10- I have seen these game show horror type shows before, and always enjoy the unique and creative craziness, but I don't know if I would get selected for it. Or if I would sign up for it. So far this one has me interested.
After 40- Oh my gawd! Who... what... how??? I can't wait to see what happens.
By The End- Holy SNAP! How is this only a 2 star on Netflix? What a great story idea, and the only way it could have been delivered so well was with actors that brought it home. I mean great! If you like thrillers that rope you in, tie you up, and keep you guessing till the end then sit down, get comfy and enjoy the ride.
After Checking IMDB- Oh wow!! Where to start! So much I wanna say! Chris Crow is the director who shares the writing credit with Frazer Lee, John Shackleton and David Shillitoe. This is Chris's 3rd completed project with number 4 in post-production. I want to track down his other 2 flicks and see how they are. This is the only non-short writing credit for Frazer. John only has 3 other writing credits. David also has co-producer credit on this film.
This team of writers delivered an intriguing story that caught my attention and kept it till the end. I started this movie thinking I knew what was going on,(1)* Part of what makes a good story better, is timing. A good story teller feeds you important info about the story so that you can keep up, or at least follow along. In this story I found I would be asking myself "Why did this happen?" Or "Why is this important?" And after a few moments, while the question is still in my mind and I am trying to piece it together, we get another piece that gives us clarity or understanding, With that clarity or understanding more of the story is revealed to us and we as viewers can progress along with the story. It is a great technique for involving the viewer; and it is done very well in this film. If you don't pay attention to the movie and dialogue, you could easily miss something important that might lessen your enjoyment of the film.
The 300,000 pound budget for this movie I feel was spent well. I think they told a great story for such a small budget, and I feel the only way they could have accomplished it was with the acting talents they found.
I do not want anyone to feel excluded, but I am giving my main shout outs to the 4 main characters on the plane.
Scarlett Alice Johnson 14 credits mostly TV
Jack Gordon 25 acting credits including Wrong Turn 3
Michael Jibson 31 acting credits, I knew I had seen him before. Some of these were other projects with Chris.
Elen Rhys has 20 acting credits, mostly TV and some other work with Chris also.
A small budget, psychological thriller like this needs to be delivered properly. Your talent has to be on point. Without the talent it would be easy for someone to get lost, distracted or lose interest in the story. For me these actors took a good story and delivered it well, which made it better.
Until next time everybody, remember, Protect Your Privates!
Spoilers**
**Think they would have mentioned that in the terms and conditions?
(1)* but after the first round I was a little suspicious of what was going on.* Looking back I should have clued in sooner.
