MrGKB ...in the inherent weakness of the "found footage" genre, "Area 407" further hobbles its cinematic foot by apparently ad-libbing all the dialog (bad idea with such a bare-bones story) and shooting the entire mess in five days (Ed Wood and Roger Corman would, I suppose, be very proud). The results are, to be kind, slipshod. Whiny teenager and older sister flying home to L.A., plane crashes (morphing into an obviously different aircraft, but never mind that), then something begins attacking the survivors (and it's pretty obvious, pretty early, that it's some sort of raptor). Eventually everyone dies, the end. Way too much repetitive screaming, whining, walking, and damn little in the way of interesting characters, dialog (improv is NOT film-friendly), or camera-work. Found-footage films occasionally work; "Area 407" isn't one of them. Back to the drawing board, kids. Avoid unless you have ninety minutes to kill and are fresh out of drying paint. This baby might have been amusing as a half-hour "Tales from the Darkside," but otherwise has absolutely nothing to offer.

dmahn69 Let me start off by saying Abigail Schrader has the voice of a whining, dieing cat. From the beginning scene all i could think of was how annoying she was. However, i gave the movie a chance. It started off as a "suspenceful" plane crash, where the plane somehow changes appearance after the crash. Next is about and hour of shaking cameras, annoying dialog, and half blur images of what appears to be a raptor. Later when everyone is falling prey to these dino's they find some eggs.. "WHOA! plot twist!!", actually no. its one of a whole group of random scenes that do nothing for the movie. All in all it was a waste of my time to watch, but i bared through it, and wish i would have stopped half through it, because the end is ruined by a $50 t-rex image,that is too small of scale to even seem "real".

TarantulasPrime And no, not like the Three Stooges joke - Girl: "You'll like me after we get acquainted. I grow on people." Curly: "So do warts!" The announcement at the beginning that this was a found footage video made me consider turning it off, but I'm glad I watched the whole thing. Unlike some of the others who liked it, I thought that the flight portion was the slowest part. It was after the crash that the actors really started to shine.The first clue that this wasn't the standard disaster movie was the missing Annoying Hysterical Girl Who Keeps Asking Everyone To Explain What's Happening. She's usually the first to die, and with good reason. There was no Evil Angry Guy Who Steals And Hoards Resources, and no Annoying Blonde Bombshell Afraid To Break A Fingernail.Melanie Lyons did a great job as Laura the Air Marshal (and she is Australian, so there was no discrepancy with her accent). But really, all the actors worked hard in their roles, and the overall effect was impressive. Even if the camera wobbled a lot (and so did the plot), in the end it seemed more realistic than a movie that was too heavily scripted. In the end it was reminiscent of one of the original Twilight Zone episodes in black and white, where there were no special effects and maybe not even that much set dressing, just good solid acting and a wicked twist at the end.Was it my imagination, or did I see Green Beanie Guy pull kind of a pervert move while the passengers were boarding the plane?

Queen Elizabeth When you sit down to watch a horror flick the last thing you want to deal with is a bunch of loud, obnoxious and whiny people that are preventing you from enjoying the show. That is where this movie falls on its face from the word go. Seriously, we have something as miraculous as a group of misfits surviving a plane crash in the middle of the desert, but within 10 minutes I would have rather they all perished and the movie ended immediately. But let's focus on the plane crash a moment. Each and every passenger is coated in blood like a bunch of blood-frenzied vampires from what appears to be gaping head wounds. That's cool and all but it doesn't slow them down for a second nor does it shut them up. Half the party is locked up over a girl that has a splinter in her forearm or something about that critical. A tourniquet is in order for this poor girl. In the mean time some fool is running a video camera and blinding everyone in the face with it. I was amazed that the plane was in shambles with all cargo strewn about the desert but conveniently the camera with the giant lighting assembly is unscathed.Things are moving along, including the fat man that is singlehandedly annoying the crap out of the rest of the survivors. He does manage to find food for the survivors. This is when things start getting ugly. "I sar two eyes, I sar a tail, I sar some teeth" now I don't know about these idiots but I sar a dinosaur. Fast forward through an hour of them sitting in a shed crying and yelling at each other that leaves the great escape. They finally manage to find a radio and call for help and are told to go back to the plane. they find an SUV and drive back to the plane but the driver decides she doesn't like one of the other guys so she just casually runs him over. But I don't want to give away the end of the movie so go out quickly a watch this so you can see how this masterpiece ends.
