“the part of this that actually got under my skin is that stretch before anyone understands what's happening, when it's just a plane and one old guy stumbling out of the lavatory and everyone doing that thing where they pretend not to see. that's the whole nightmare fuel right there, being trapped in economy with your seatbelt on while something goes wrong two rows up. once it commits to the bigger idea it gets louder and a little less scary, and yeah i've seen every piece of this movie somewhere before, twilight zone, the mist, the whole airplane-paranoia canon. but quale keeps that cabin so tight and airless that i still felt my shoulders creeping up to my ears for most of it. honestly i'd have watched another hour of them just being scared and confused, the confusion was better than the answers”
