Remember the last VHS tape you owned? We kick off this episode with a cheerful trip down memory lane, reminiscing about our final VHS treasures before diving into a thrilling film review. We also revisit the eerie world of "Darkness Falls," revealing new depths of Matilda Dixon's tragic backstory through a fascinating comic book tie-in. And for all the special effects aficionados out there, we highlight the magic spun by Stan Winston and experience the nostalgic charm of early 2000s ads.
Ever wondered how a low-budget horror film set in a tiny plane can grip you from takeoff to landing? We share our thoughts on the 2010 Canadian horror flick "Altitude." We break down the film’s unique aviation setting and the dynamic, if somewhat immature, characters. We discuss Jessica Lowndes' performance as Sarah, the questionable competence of her piloting skills, and how the film cleverly utilizes aviation jargon to build tension.
As the airborne thriller unfolds, we dissect the chaos that erupts mid-flight, from mechanical failures to monstrous hallucinations. We debate the group's decisions, especially Cory's risky efforts to unjam the elevator and Sal's shocking betrayal. Despite its low Rotten Tomatoes score, we argue that "Altitude" is a hidden gem worth your time, with its blend of supernatural, horror, and mystery thriller elements. To cap it off, we share some practical air travel advice, emphasizing the importance of experienced pilots, and laugh at the film’s quirky release date inconsistencies. Join us for an episode packed with thrills, chills, and a touch of nostalgia!
