Awful but...
iwndev10 May 2019
Ed Westwick is so good even if this movie sucks. I see some good emotional part between pilot and flight attendant. It's cliche but remains cute, the rest was dramatic scifi, fake effects, nonsence scenes and zero fear. I'm sorry!

Awful. Poor attempt at flight "horror" -- "Snakes on a Plane" without the camp or humor
monto29 November 2014
Warning: Spoilers
Bilingual (English/Mandarin) Chinese production of a horror/thriller set on an overseas flight, as those on board start mysteriously dying off one by one with gruesome scratch marks, by and large in real-time.

Filled with one-dimensional characters and clichéd tropes like the newly separated romantic pairing who still have to work together, the snobbish first class couple with only disdain for everything and everyone, the cocky jock who ribs his faithful friend the gentle nerd, the blind prescient woman who everyone ignores due to her "craziness" but apparently sees all... The list goes on and on, all with cheeky dialogue borrowed from the worst of TV soap operas. It was wholly unbelievable to see almost all the actors being under age 30 who, although present plenty of eye-candy, nowhere nearly resemble a representative flight audience and the supposedly complex characters they are portraying.

Frankly this would have never gotten funding to be made in the US, certainly not without substantial rewriting. The idea of a movie set almost entirely on a plane is inherently a challenging subject, much less a genre film like this. Even with moderately well schemed plots and seasoned veteran actors, we can only hope for the likes of thrillers like Non-Stop and Air Force One. Or perhaps, with reality largely thrown out the door, we expect the camp and over-the- top fantasy that is Snakes on a Plane.

Last Flight falls very much short of anything and everything. Very disappointing.

Interesting take on low grade horror
sgmi-535792 October 2022
Made in the guise of a full scale Hollywood thriller, this film is definitely low budget through and through. Tossing in bit of every genre (no kitchen sink?), we actually are left with a pretty entertaining b-grade thriller. The acting leaves much to be desired, but there is a lot of care in the details. Aboard a final flight from a secluded vacation island, the capitan, crew, and nine passengers encounter an unimaginable terror, and fight to survive. If you can appreciate the idea, and the cheap execution, you will probably fall head-long into this campy slice of entertainment. Fun, silly, with a couple good scares; if you're a horror aficionado, this comes with a mild recommendation.

watch if you like scifi
yumi_lee20 May 2023
This gripping and thought-provoking film explores the darker aspects of the human psyche and the power of unity in the face of adversity. The film expertly captures the fear of being trapped in an enclosed space, as the passengers desperately fight back against a deadly creature. The storyline compile with multiple themes that includes desperation to live, betrayals, love and the consequences of meddling with nature but some scenes are quite unnatural such as the death scenes and the uncertain fate of the characters makes audiences question the possibility of escape in those situations. Not much of a horror.

So bad it's bad
Craig-48-4581181 July 2018
Lasted a full 15 minutes of this utter tripe. A 747 with 4 crew and 9 passengers - so very very bad

great movie
kerbaulangit28 May 2023
Unredictable storyline with over the top effects but it was an enjoyable movie nonetheless with some twists and turns along the movie. Quite surprised to see some interesting characters in the storyline and there were a number of comic scenes with the over the top special effects which did not turn out the way it was envisioned. It is like Snakes on a plane without any direction on humor or entertainment.

Watch this movie if you have some time to spare on a long weekend and switch off your mind for some entertainment.

Hope there will be a new movie of this.

Cant wait to see the new movie of this.

Easy watch
ash_01016 June 2023
The aforementioned movie seems to be a low-budget thriller that incorporates aspects from several different genres. The movie manages to fascinate the viewer with some of its attention to detail despite the imperfect acting skills. A group of individuals who are leaving a remote holiday island on their last aircraft run into a horrific situation and are forced to battle for their life. Even while the picture might not appeal to everyone, those who prefer goofy with a few excellent scares will probably like it. The film is quite entertaining with some ridiculous adventure that is well worth seeing.

straightforward and action-packed thriller
m-6480525 June 2023
Warning: Spoilers
Despite the film's focus on suspense and horror, "Flight of Hell" fails to delve deeper into the underlying themes it hints at. The story touches upon human nature under extreme circumstances, exploring how fear and survival instincts can bring out the best and worst in people. However, these themes remain largely unexplored, leaving the audience craving a more nuanced examination of the human condition in the face of imminent danger. The plot unfolds along a well-trodden path, adhering closely to the conventions of the survival horror genre. As a result, seasoned viewers may find themselves anticipating certain twists and turns, diminishing the element of surprise. However, for audiences seeking a straightforward and action-packed thriller, the movie still offers plenty of heart-pounding moments.

Thriller but not thrill enough
leekhaiwan15 May 2023
"Flight from Hell" is a thriller that follows the harrowing journey of nine passengers aboard a red-eye flight from a small Pacific island to Singapore. As the plane reaches the middle of the Pacific Ocean, a series of disturbing events unfolds. An aboriginal old lady becomes agitated, demanding to disembark with her granddaughter. Mysterious interruptions on the TV screens in the business class add to the growing unease. The autistic girl's behavior takes a strange turn, and soon after, a stewardess named Jessica disappears. The discovery of Jessica's lifeless body covered in claw-like marks triggers panic among the passengers.

They soon realize that they are being hunted by a mutant cat-like creature, and their survival depends on fighting for their lives. Trapped inside the confined space of the aircraft, the passengers must confront their fears and work together to outsmart the relentless predator. As the tension escalates and the body count rises, they must find a way to stop the creature before it claims all their lives.

Great movie to watch!

Warning: Spoilers
This movie is a hidden gem that delivers the perfect blend of suspense, horror, and entertainment. Despite its low-budget production, the film manages to capture the audience's attention with its intriguing storyline and attention to detail. The characters may not deliver Oscar-worthy performances, but they are relatable and help to create a believable atmosphere.

An okay movie..
shermainelowyongqi29 May 2023
"Flight from Hell" offers a gripping storyline that keeps you engaged, albeit with a fair share of horror and suspense. It explores the human instinct for survival and the lengths people will go to in order to protect themselves. While the film may not be for the faint of heart, it offers an intense viewing experience for fans of action and thriller genres.

Supposedly a thrilling action film, it follows the harrowing journey of passengers aboard a red-eye flight. As the plane traverses the Pacific, disturbing events unfold, including mysterious interruptions on the TV screens and the unsettling behavior of an aboriginal old lady and an autistic girl. The situation intensifies when the stewardess, Jessica, is found dead, marked with claw-like wounds. The passengers realize they are being pursued by a mutant cat-like creature, prompting a fight for survival. Trapped on the aircraft, they must unite their efforts to outsmart the predator and find a way to neutralize it. With each passing moment, the tension grows as the death toll rises, pushing the passengers to confront their deepest fears in their quest to overcome the deadly threat.

The premise of the movie was promising, but the delivery turned out to be quite a disappointment. Big fan of Ed Westwick though!

Average movie I would say
shirleycheah-614951 June 2023
A quite standard survival film that happen on an airplane. Overall was not tension much although I'm expecting some tension scene but I think it was okay. As the film are trying to create suspense, the characters seems not well brief enough and underdeveloped, which I think that's the main reason failed to keep the audience fully engaged. Probably with a lower budget that comes out with a not-so-thriller wannabe kind of movie, would expect to see more of the plots and the engagement between the characters but it's seems having a difficulties on forming a strong connection within. The pacing was kinda inconsistent. But overall still okay.

Flight from Hell
mhonlii9 June 2023
Flight from Hell offers a suspenseful survival narrative aboard a plane, but it falls short of delivering a true horror experience. While the tension builds at times, the film lacks the scares and intensity typically associated with the genre. The characters are thinly developed, and their actions feel predictable. The plot follows a familiar formula, offering few surprises along the way. Despite these shortcomings, the film manages to maintain a decent level of engagement, thanks to some well-executed suspenseful sequences. Overall, it is a moderately entertaining film, but it falls short of delivering the true horror experience expected.

Fun and Entertaining Thriller
win_hiip_ong7 May 2023
A nice sci-fi film with some romance between pilot (Ed Westwick) and flight attendant (Zhu Zhu) as well as the passengers. The crews and the passengers were returning from a vacation island on a red-eye flight but never did they expect that the normal flight is going to turn into the worst nightmare ever. Everyone have to fight for their life to live from a cat-liked killing creature. There is a few bloody but not at all will I consider it as a horror movie because there is no scaring scene. The film was kind of entertaining and worth a watch for those who does not like film with scare moment.

Interesting Movie...

Interesting storyline, acting by the lead is good but not supported by the other cast members.

Predictable storyline with over the top effects but it was an enjoyable movie nonetheless with some twists and turns along the movie. Quite surprised to see some interesting characters in the storyline and there were a number of comic scenes with the over the top special effects which did not turn out the way it was envisioned.

Watch this movie if you have some time to spare on a long weekend and switch off your mind for some entertainment.

Surprisingly this is better than I thought
shingweilee22 May 2023
I'm not a fans of horror-thriller movie tbh but this is nicer than I thought. The whole movie flow was quite good and all the actors are great to lead the audience enjoy in every scene just like taking a roller coasters. I'm quite amaze with the effects in the movie. TBH I was shouting out load few times watching this especially when seeing the mutant cat-like creature appears and the action sequences are well coordinated. I think this is a great movie that you must pick to watch with your friends/ family especially on a weekends. For those who think this might be those usual horror thriller kind of movie, you should watch this.

I think I would definitely recommend this movie to everyone around me.

This survival thriller presents a gripping and intense scenario aboard a plane overrun by a mutant creature.
kimwiessmann13 June 2023
The film effectively builds tension and keeps viewers on the edge of their seats as the passengers face a fight for their lives. The connections between the creature and the unusual events on the plane add an intriguing layer of mystery and suspense. The makeshift weapons and fortifications created by the passengers showcase their resourcefulness and determination. The creature itself is a formidable and menacing adversary, with its enhanced abilities and insatiable hunger. The characters, though not extensively developed, evoke empathy and drive the story forward. The film maintains a relentless pace, and the race against time adds an additional layer of urgency. While the outcome of the passengers' ordeal is left uncertain, their resilience and teamwork make for an engaging and thrilling watch. While it has its flaws, the movie delivers a solid survival experience.

Good
ingchongg18 July 2023
The usual familiar premise of passengers trapped in a life-or-death situation which falls short of delivering a truly captivating experience. The initial setup is promising but the execution lacks its originality to fully engage the audience. The storyline follows predictable beats, with alliances forming and the passengers trying to outsmart the creature. While the suspense is present, it doesn't reach its full potential, leaving some thrilling moments feeling underwhelming. In general, the film's reliance on generic survival tropes prevents it from standing out in a crowded genre but still manages to offer moments of tension and action that may appeal to fans of survival thrillers.
