Deep Rising on a Plane


Altitude Trailer / TK

Trailers | November 16, 2009 | Comments (23)


Well, this is a different one. Here’s the trailer for Altitude, the first full-length film from director Kaare Andrews. The plot is reminiscent of Sci-Fi Channel (I refuse to use the new name) Sunday afternoon fare, except that it actually looks like it could be a decent little Deep Rising-style B-action movie. It starts off looking rather derivative, with that “young and attractive cast getting themselves into trouble” look to it. A group of 20-somethings take a plane trip, only to encounter some sort of bizarre supernatural occurrence and … a monster. A seriously big and weird monster. The cast is mostly no-names — the only one you might have even a chance of recognizing is Julianna Guill, as one of the numerous girls to take her top off (and, of course, therefore get killed) in the Friday the 13th remake — or you might recognize Jessica Lowndes from the “90210” remake currently violating our airwaves. Although if you do recognize her for that, you should probably re-evaluate your life’s direction.

Anyway, here’s the trailer, with the full poster afterward. It’s got “solid rental” written all over it.

Don’t look down? Really? That’s the best they could come up with?

God, this movie looks like something one of the many Serbian/people from some kind of vakia/stan/sia would rent from my video store when there were at least 70 Steven Segall/JCVD/Dolph movies left on the shelf at 10 PM on a Friday. No Joke.

That 90210 girl... I... recognized her. I swear to you, my wife makes me watch it. I think she hates me.

Off topic, but...

Anyone having trouble with the newsfeed for Pajiba through Google Reader? Hasn't updated in 4 days. Could be that the atom.xml doesn't validate properly.

Google Reader + Pajiba is working just fine for me. Also: this movie looks amazing. Truly truly amazing.

Thanks wakeful. Couldn't get it to update for some reason. Had to create a feedburner to get it working.

Wow that trailer is bad.

@faze Yeah, I've been having trouble getting my feed working since Friday.

I've never thrown up watching a trailer before. That looks epicly bad.

Posted by: Jeff at November 16, 2009 7:22 PM

Something about that poster fascinates me. I dig it.

Perhaps I'll never watch the trailer or the full film, so that I might continue to enjoy the pure and unsullied poster goodness.

This totally looks like one of those movies where you find out in the end that the boy scared of flying is just having a bad dream. Love the Amazing Stories references though.

Needs more Samuel L Jackson.

What doesn't?

I HAVE HAD IT WITH THIS MOTHERFUCKING GIANT SQUID, RAPEING THIS MOTHERFUCKING PLANE!

What was that thing? Am I supposed to be convinced it can fly? Is this the apocalypse foretold when the giant spaghetti monster comes to judge us riding his storm cloud?

It seemed to be a sort of monster, or symbol representing a monster, of a form which only a diseased fancy could conceive. If I say that my somewhat extravagant imagination yielded simultaneous pictures of an octopus, a dragon, and a human caricature, I shall not be unfaithful to the spirit of the thing.

Looks like an homage to pastafarianism. Also, flying? Not the safest way to travel. I seriously hate when people say that.

ARE YOU CALLING SUPERMAN A LIAR?!

Posted by: Daniel Hall at November 17, 2009 12:12 AM

This looks slightly better than Mega Shark vs Giant Octopus, by which I mean it looks slightly worse.

as long as a fat black kid saves the day i'm cool with it.

It's the Ogdru Jahad, done by a high school film club...

This is of course the wrath of Godtopus manifesting itself because the airlines are making people pay for checked baggage.

Posted by: Mrcreosote at November 17, 2009 6:33 AM

Flying in THAT type of plane is absolutely NOT the safest way to travel. Anyone getting into one of those commuter dealies has every reason to be scared. Especially when you've got a pilot who states that she's not qualified for flying through bad weather and instead of turning her ass around, goes above the scary clouds.

It's also really convenient that the scared guy has a comic depicting this creature. I'm with James--he's either dreaming it or his fear made it real.

Posted by: DeadBessie at November 17, 2009 8:09 AM

I don't want to admit it, but this thing (the premise more than the execution) scares the living shit out of me. I've always had a slight fear of flying, and the whole 'vast unseen monster' just hits a nerve.

Yeah I know, flying spaghetti monster, Godtopus, Cthulu bastardization, say what you want. I still find this terrifying.

Posted by: theboy at November 17, 2009 9:02 AM

Did they really just show people standing outside the door and hanging on the wing of a plane doing 300 mph at (from the spinning altimeter) what must have been 90,000 feet?

This might be awesomely stupid.
