Having read the book by James Herbert, I found myself enjoying the movie as well. The good performances by Robert Powell. Jenny Agutter and Joseph Cotten and great direction from David Hemmings all work together to create a solid supernatural horror movie.
The film tells the story of a horrifying plane crash that takes place in Adelaide that kills 300 passengers and crew. Only the pilot David Keller, (Powell) walks away unharmed. The story then unfolds as a creepy little girl appears to a few people that results in their deaths. A clairvoyant called Hobbs (Agutter) approaches Keller to tell him that the spirits of the crash victims are seeking justice against whoever it was that caused the crash.
The scene of the airplane crashing is spectacular and the effects still hold up today. The creepy sounds of the unquiet ghosts, their agonised screams slowly building just adds to the feeling of unease.
This is a movie that should be watched for fans of Aussie cinema and horror. It is from the early eighties when the horror genre was really strong. This is a real gem.
