Story: On May 12th, Vista Pacific Flight 7500 departs Los Angeles International Airport bound for Tokyo. The take-off is routine but what transpires over the next ten hours is anything but ordinary. As the overnight flight makes its way over the Pacific Ocean, the passengers encounter what appears to be a supernatural force in the cabin.

Likes : After 2 years of waiting for this film if finally got released, but after viewing this film i can see why they delayed it, because some of these scene are very intense & upsetting. I was expecting a supernatural horror which it is in some ways, very frightening When you see a movie directed by director that done The Grudge, you would expect something of similar standards in this film.
 The concept of the movie is very interesting, and the characters are quite well-developed,The film is very clever on not given to much away to early given that the whole of this movie takes place on a plane, i was interested in this movie because of the way the trailer came across as a very spooky film.
One thing your notice about this film is the way it tease you in to think this is happen while on the other hand misleading the audience as something much darker is happen, this is brilliantly done by  director Takashi Shimizu which bring's a brilliant, cold chilling haunting dark twist in the concept you wont see coming.
This dose have the constant jumpy frighting scene that keep you off guard but its one of those film if you talk though it or miss key points it will leave you with plot hole & you saying why did this happen or when did this happen, it a film you really need to sit down a watch all the way though to get this film concept.
 If you are looking for a supernatural horror expecting a creepy looking ghost to appear you will be disappointed in a some way but yes this is a supernatural horror in other area's, personally i don't think this film's got it fair due to be honest at its not a bad film deserve more than the rating this got its a worth watching thriller horror as it has that elements of poltergeist with the mist effects which add to the creepy atmosphere of the film.

Dislikes : The Flaw this film has which in no way bring the film down but prevents it from being a high rating film, The C.G.I is slightly questionable as you can see that the plane look C.G.I & the other thing as well is this film concept feels like a long twilight zone film it a way which was ok but this could of been better for the concept.

Overall : Very intense, frightening, creepy, brilliant twist, great concept, worth watching.

Rating: 5  out of  5  for entertainment / 7 out of  10 for story / concept
