Claustrophobic horror Altitude features a giant flying octopus and other assorted madness, but is it any good?
The group are suitably excited about the festival (Coldplay, wooo!)
and things seem great, until a fault with the plane means that its constantly ascending.
But, would you believe it, theres nothing but dead air on the end of the radio.
Whats causing this madness?
Is it a genuine fault or are there other forces at work?
This brings us on toAltitude, and the area in which the film fails most spectacularly: the performances.
The performances here vary between poor and tolerable and act as a distraction from the films fairly interesting premise.
His performance brings down those around him as he commits to the obnoxious buffoon act a little too fully.
As mentioned earlier, the premise is fairly interesting, but it fails to deliver on the promise shown.
As such, its hard to recommendAltitude,even to those with a morbid fascination with low rent shockers.
But problems soon emerge when the plane is lost in the clouds and the effects failings soon become apparent.
Funnily enough, the sound really kicks in when the picture starts to show signs of failing.
Better mixing could have resolved this, but given the quality of the transfer overall, its hardly surprising.
For a release like this, theres a surprisingly decent array of features.
Director Kaare Andrews sounds distinctly uninterested and reveals only the basics of the making of the film.
Other extras include a concept gallery and a trailer.
