Altitude

Comic book writer/artist Kaare Andrews makes his directorial debut with the very Twilight-Zone-esque thriller Altitude. Five teenage friends rent a small plane for a weekend getaway but shortly into the flight, something suddenly goes wrong. The instruments begin to malfunction. The plane won’t stop climbing. A storm is closing in and fuel is running out. Now for everyone on board, the true horror has just begun: A mysterious force wants them all to die. The film is a great ride and I really enjoyed it. The claustrophobic setting is used extremely well and it's got some great effects for such a small movie. Throw in some unexpected twists and solid performances and it's a flight you won't wanna miss. The film premiered at Screamfest this week and Anchor Bay will release it on Blu-ray/DVD October 26th. Spoiler warning: I think the trailer gives away far too much so watch at your own risk.
