It may be called Plane Dead, but it was clearly DESTINED to be called Zombies on a Plane. I’m going to have to imagine that this movie was greenlit sometime in the past twelves months after the hysteria started… it’s just too hard to imagine someone thought of this independently. Oh well, here are some graphics:
It’s got an official website, an IMDB page, a story on Fangoria and a page on the production company’s website. It’s like they’re a real movie… aww… isn’t it cute? Here’s the plot description:
“Plane Dead” is a special effects packed Sci-Fi/Horror/Action thriller about a routine flight from LA to Paris on which a renegade scientist, on the run from the CIA, has smuggled a secret coffin containing the body of a scientist infected with a deadly genetically engineered virus.
The 747 jumbo jet collides with two massive thunderstorms at once which drops it into the eye of an inescapable storm. The non-stop turbulence triggers the release of the infected “flesh eating” scientist from the cargo hold.
A life and death battle ensues as the virus turns the unsuspecting passengers into “the undead” and the terrified uninfected passengers try to survive the flight they wish they had missed.
Now, no government will allow the “infected” 747 jumbo jet to land. Stranded in the air, the passengers have no place to hide from their ravenous tormentors…
flying the deadly skies…
I’m totally unclear as to why the words “flesh eating,” “the undead” and “infected” are in “quotes.” Perhaps they’re not really flesh eating, the undead or infected and it’s all just a subtle metaphor for modern life.
Damned CIA scientists.
Zombies On Plane this is right up my alley. Okay, Better would be that Snakes were infected with Rage ( The disease that the monkeys hosted in 28 Days Later. The Snakes bite the passengers and the passengers become flesheaters. I know that is not the plot but it would be great if it was.
They could have Lawerence Fishburn instead of Sam Jackson and he could say Enough is enough, I have had it with these Muthrf@#$kn Zombies on This Muthrf@#$kn Plane.
I will stop now but I knew it was only a matter of time before they combine the two. Brilliant “Straight to Video”, But Brilliant none the Less
