Black Box: Flight 298 review – there’s a monster on the edge of the plane’s terror plot | Video

Bprepare for a ride that is chaotic and highly inconsistent but arrives at its destination with some style. Black Box: Flight 298 is a horror-sci-fi-thriller that mostly takes place on a plane that says it takes off from New Orleans to Seattle, although it is clear that this was filmed in a studio with a lot of green screen to match the background scenery.

However, before director Steven Quale and cinematographer Stephen Susco reveal the monster behind all the mayhem, they linger on the paranoia and fear many feel when flying. The opening statement alarmingly states that the rates at which planes lose contact with air traffic are much higher than the US Federal Aviation Administration approves, which doesn’t sound too bad to viewers who don’t like to worry. But this is just the beginning of a thread that jumps over the tinfoil-hat conspiracy theory – there’s a guy who wraps his head in aluminum foil to protect himself from space radiation – and the growing frenzy around strange objects that hit the stratosphere.

In this series, Tom Brittney comes to the fore as Jeremy, a sad-faced man who begins to suspect that something is terribly wrong when the sky begins to show all kinds of light. He teams up with smart pilot Emma (Holly White), air marshal Lauren (Boadicea Ricketts), and moppet Chloe (Molly Belle Wright) when the big bad thing reveals itself, and hides in a camp with a bunch of desperate dogs. Fun moments are provided when a disgusted first-class passenger (Danny Mac, like many other Brit actors here doing his best in his Yank accent) is seduced and seduced in some irreverent ways.
