If you have low expectations but like these low budget horror-type flicks this is not a bad one. Basically some kids flying to a concert get lost in a giant storm, start having problems with their plane and are attacked by some giant creature. My favorite scene by far is when they decide to fix a problem with the plane's tail section by tying a rope to some guy and throwing him out of the plane in mid-air to fix it. A bad idea both in theory and practice! But I laughed like a maniac because it's something teenagers might actually think of.

I watched the trailer for this. Kind of LoveCraftian. If you want a great horror site http://www.joblo.com/horror-movies/news/
be warned not a PC website

Sci-Fi channel inherited the mantle of every local VHF station's Saturday afternoon monster movie host, and they crank out so many straight-to-cable flicks, heavy on CGI effects and low on script quality, that are so bad, they're funny. How 'bout "Pterodactyl", with rapper Coolio as a Special Forces officer trying to rescue a bunch of idiot kids trying to escape a flock of hungry pterosaurs in Yugoslavia? That was a riot! "Raptor Island", "The Basilisk" (one of a group of movies seemingly inspired by medieval beastiaries--can't wait for "Esquilax!"), "Sharktopus", "Sabretooth" (with David Keith, Vanessa Angel, and John Rhys-Davies, who all must have really needed the money)--so bad, but so much fun to watch!

Prost!

I'm convinced Sy Fy has a software program that churns out the scripts for their movies. There's good-bad and bad-bad when it comes to horror/sci fi movies and most of SF's fall into the latter. And those endless commercials and promos! Watching a movie on that channel is an endurance contest. There are so many sometimes I forget what I was watching by the time it comes back on. BUT I still watch it from time to time. ^&cool

Prequel to "The Thing" coming out this month in theatres! It looks god awful, but I'm going.

Report back on "The Thing" your (not you personally) talking about a remake of one of the best Horror/Sci-Fi movies of all time...which was in itself a remake

I am going to have to check that out-that scene will provide the laugh I need. Thanks for the heads up!

FIGHT ON!
