'Flight 666' drew me into seeing it, with a cool poster/cover, an intriguing if not particularly original premise and as someone with a general appreciation for horror. That it was low-budget, which from frequent personal experience is rarely a good sign due to that there are so many poor ones out there, made me though apprehensive as well as the low rating and poor reviews.

It is sadly however yet another film seen recently, hence some reiteration because the exact same strengths and flaws those films have are present here, that to me was incredibly disappointing considering its potential which it doesn't do anywhere near enough with. 'Flight 666' is terrible, with a plethora of problems (huge ones too) and doesn't do enough with its potential, which was hardly small. There is next to nothing to recommend.

Lets start with the sole positive. The setting is atmospheric and spooky.

Unfortunately, it is not done justice by the rather direct to video schlocky way it's shot and edited and the drab colour palette, so much so it was hard to appreciate it, it was very clear that the film was made in a rush with no care or enthusiasm. In particular, the camera work was a nauseous assault on the eyes with its excessive amateurish-ness.

Going on further to the negatives, the story does feel paper thin, disjointed and over-stretched and some of it feels vague, under-explained in the last third where the film especially became duller, more predictable, more senseless and less scary. Too many characters are too sketchy and with nowhere near enough to make one want to endear to them. Their annoying and illogical decision making and behaviours frustrates.

Making the film feel bland and forgettable with not enough heart put into it. The effects are ropy at best, the sound quality is obvious and utilised cheaply (being too loud in the build ups and people's reactions) and it's best not mentioning the uniformly lumbering and histrionic acting that shows a huge indifference to the situation and what is going on.

Dialogue can be stilted and rambling, with lots of clichés, lots of unintentional humour that makes some of the film play like a really bad spoof and no depth whatsoever, while the pace goes to a standstill very quickly and drags on forever with very little going on worth caring about and useless padding, never recovering. Found too many the supposedly shocking moments not surprising or scary and the supposedly creepy atmosphere dreary, due to the excessive obviousness, a lot of dumb and vague moments and explanations and the lack of tension and suspense. Would not have minded the lack of originality (the film is extremely derivative and in a dumbed and watered down way) if the story and atmosphere were at least alright in execution, in reality they were both very poorly done.

A lot of 'Flight 666' has underdeveloped plot elements and often nonsensical and confusing character motivations, while too many of the things to make you jump or shocked are far from creative or scary and are pretty tame. The ending makes the film finish on an incomplete and confused whimper.

There is not enough threat, and what there is of it tends to be used poorly, it is completely unimaginative and more odd than creepy, completely failing to show any sense of horror or creativity. Everything here is neither creative, suspenseful or nail-biting. Some badly sagging momentum too. The direction is leaden and like their heart was not in it or ill at ease, with the chemistry between the characters and actors coming over as constantly random and aggressive with the subtlety of an axe.

Overall, awful with no redeeming value apart from an element that is difficult to appreciate with it being complemented so badly. 1/10 Bethany Cox

Actually the 2018 movie "Flight 666" wasn't really as bad as one might initially expect it to be.

I sat down to watch it because I enjoy horror movies, and I wasn't familiar with the movie prior to finding it by sheer, random luck. And it being a horror movie, and of course containing the 666 part, made me want to watch it.

The storyline that writers Jacob Cooney and Brandon Stroud came up with was actually entertaining enough for what it turned out to be. However, this is not a grand moment in horror cinema. But "Flight 666" turned out to be entertaining, enjoyable and watchable enough for what it was.

The acting in the movie was adequate. Now the movie doesn't really have anyone overly familiar or famous on the cast list, for better or worse. I enjoyed that, because it was a heap of mostly new faces on the screen. And I do like watching movies with actors and actresses that I haven't seen before and associate with other established roles.

As for the horror part. Well, let's just say that this is where the movie was lacking contents. I am sure that some younger viewers might find certain things in the movie a bit scary. But for a seasoned horror veteran such as myself, this was a mere stroll in the park.

While "Flight 666" is watchable, it is hardly a movie that you will watch more than a single time though.

My rating of director Rob Pallatina's 2018 movie is a five out of ten stars.

I have to admit even though for a "B" movie it was entertaining. If there is a lower catagory then it belongs there. Definitely seemed like it was a college student making this flick for a class project or something.

I do give them credit for showing the correct plane and cockpit set up but that's where it ends and the technical gaffs abound. For one that plane needs 3 pilots to fly it. They were missing their Flight engineer. Many smaller gaffs in the script for the actual flying and procedures but the biggest gaff of all, the biggest movie mistake of all time that I have ever come across is that the whole time while they were flying.....the cockpit sliding windows were open !!!!!! Tech advisor where are you????? All of the interior cockpit scenes where shot with the windows open. Initially this was probably done for the pilot close ups but then someone was supposed to close them.
