Exorcism at 60,000 Feet [Blu-ray]

Product Information

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.

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? 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? 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 film does look and sound good, the opening shots of the priest approaching the house are striking. And Ferrin gets the most out of the few sets he had to use. There’s also a great score by Richard Band (Re-Animator, The Resurrected). 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. 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.

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. a b c d e f g h i j k l Gingold, Michael (March 13, 2019).

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.
