The incident of the missing MH370, also Marsha Wattanapanich being in this film're the main reasons why i wanted to watch this particular Thai horror film about a plane flight. The introduction of the characters in the beginning(1st 15 minutes)'s okay, it made me expecting the usual good quality horror film plot. But once the conflict/problem (ghost haunting) starts to appear, it's definitely not what i was expecting. The horror element's so mediocre, some unimportant weird scenes're added, nonsense secondary characters which had bad actings/dialogues totally ruined it, some unserious comedy points also made the movie even worse, bad use of CG, one scene in 75th minutes shows how dumb the survivors trying to fight the ghosts, the background plot of how this ghost haunting/attack happens is also pretty weak, although some sudden snaps of the ghosts might actually still give the viewers some jolts a bit and the aftermath's a little unexpected but it made no effect to this film (the viewers may even feel glad that the film ends).

I'd have to say this film, just like the other decent Thai produced horror movies actually had some potentials(the apparitions, plot, dialogues, character developments) to be explored which the film-makers failed to dig and present. Overall the movie's pretty much under standard. So it's preferable to watch another horror movie to prevent the boredom, sleepiness, confusion, headache, and other effects this film may cause.

4/10

After being let down by 7500, I thought give this Asian ghost movie on plane a watch.

What the hell were these people thinking, when they were making this , ti

It had the most annoying cast in the world.

There were some really very nasty, nasty,horrible and irritating.

Its was so annoying to watch!

This movie was more comedy then horror and those Comedy scenes was so shocking bad.

I actually felt sorry for the poor ghost on that Plane and I was on there side!

During a flight, passengers and crew are haunted by spirits. The passengers die one by one and the flight attendant New (Marsha Wattanapanich) has the sensation of Déjà Vu.

The awful "407 Dark Flight 3D" is among the most mediocre horror movies ever lost between an unfunny comedy and a non-scary horror. The story and the screenplay are ridiculous and stupid; the characters are non- charismatic and annoying; and the cast is horrible. The reviews promoting this flick are also ridiculous. Better off watching another film. My vote is two.

Title (Brazil): "407: O Vôo das Trevas" ("407: The Dark Flight")

Definitely recommend this movie! Many people said that this is a bad movie, however, i would say otherwise. This movie is the scariest movie i've watched although the ending was a little unexpected. It sends chills down my spine. upon watching this movie, i kind of developed a mini phobia of taking airplanes. This movie shows the journey of a passenger plane haunted by ghosts that gradually tricked the passengers into going insane and killing each other.This movie isn't the kind of comedy horror hence don't expect it to do. Additionally, the effects of the movie looks super real. The film is that scary that i have to split the movie into 3 cause i don't know what to expect.

I have great respect for Horror films made in Thailand. So, I was quite anxious to watch it. I am not totally disappointed of having watch it. I'm glad of having do it. However, I don't think that I am going to watch it again. Since it wasn't what I expected. I wasn't bothered by the poor special effects (mostly in the plane on the air shots) and you have many action during almost the entire film without any moment of rest. However, the story is kinda messy. I think that it if they would make some of the ghosts more recognizable and/or with a better defined personality, people could enjoy better the film. However, if you like Thailand horror like me, you might want to take a look at least once to this film.

"407 Dark Flight 3D" is a fast-paced and highly entertaining Thai horror movie. Even though most reviews are quite negative and call this a trash flick with annoying characters, bad special effects and unnecessary slapstick elements, I enjoyed watching this film. Let's talk about these different elements in detail.

The story itself is quickly told. Several individual groups of characters take a plane from Bangkok to Phuket but evil ghosts end up controlling the machine. The surviving passengers must find a way to get rid of the demons but personal conflicts, bad weather conditions, lack of time and a weird secret that lies in the past are in their way.

First of all, the characters of this movie are quickly and well introduced in about twenty minutes before the tension rises. The different characters are sympathetic, evil, eccentric or ambiguous but the viewers do react to them in one way or another. The characters are definitely not shallow. The development of the complicated relationship between a powerless father who is repressed by his authoritarian wife and his disappointed rebellious daughter who is torn between studying abroad and becoming a Pilot in her home country is a strong guiding line throughout the entire movie. The romantic connection between a brave mechanic and a mysterious air hostess and the fateful love story between a charming Chinese woman and a reckless Thai man add some depth to the side characters. The acting is mostly really solid even though a few characters turn out being slightly superficial. The fearful male air hostess is the only truly annoying character but even his presence adds something to the movie in form of some slapstick elements that break with an otherwise intense horror atmosphere.

The special effects might not be up to expensive Western standards but they don't look cringeworthy either. Some of the demons look actually quite scary while others are rather exchangeable due to the limited budget. What adds to the movie is the clever use of dark colours in the settings and the outstanding lighting techniques. The claustrophobic locations such as cockpits, lavatories and load rooms are simple but really appropriate for this kind of movie. Last but not least, the sound effects are intense and the soundtrack is decent and fitting.

There are a couple of slapstick elements that try to add some diversity to the somber script that also has everything but a happy ending. Personally, I'm not a fan of this kind of humour which feels childish, distracting and superficial to me but I can understand the director's intension to keep this controversial element. First of all, it's definitely entertaining and provokes a strong reaction among viewers. Second, this element might have helped to get a lower film rating and avoid a restricted audience for an otherwise quite brutal movie. Third, this kind of humour can be found in many Asian movies and is therefor rather popular. It might feel out of place for Western audiences but it could make much more sense for those who are familiar with films from East and South-East Asia.

In the end, horror movie fans and those who like Asian cinema in general should get well entertained with this film that convinces with claustrophobic locations, intriguing characters and good light and sound effects. "407 Dark Flight 3D" might not be a breathtaking genre flick with incredible actors, an innovating plot or stunning visual special effects but it's an honest genre effort that doesn't deserve much criticism. I would definitely present this movie to some of my friends and watch it again.

This is the weirdest horror film I have ever seen. The story line is pointless, the acting is bad and stiff. I think only the end of this film is clear, there is no horror that I feel.

If you enjoy solid b-movie mysteries you will be positively surprised by this one. The movie proves that even with the simplest means good movies can be produced. You just need passion.
