{gore}- Oh yes.

{plot}- As K-Fleet told me "They should of called it 'Zombies on a plane'"
{film quality}- The cinematography and just film quality in general is real nice, however, the exterior shots of the plane are all bad.
{entertainment factor}- Very entertaining.
A passenger flight is carrying some interesting cargo. A woman who's been intentionally infected with a virus, designed for the army, that would allow soldiers at war to die and continue fighting. There's really not a lot of plot here so lets get to the nitty gritty. This movie has great gore and pacing. While the plot is very simple the execution is brilliant. You remember jumping when you watched Independence day and the doctor slams against the lab window and the alien squeezes his throat to talk to the president. This movie will legitimately make you jump out of your seat over and over. Its not like the slasher films in the 80's. The zombies never come from where you expect and they don't overplay their hand in terms of making you look for it. This lack of suspense makes these moments more frightening because they're completely unexpected. The script is not genius. Its execution is. The only thing the filmmakers have to apologize for is the horrible scenes outside of the plane such as the zombie and the engine. These effects are the only thing that stopped this movie from a nationwide release in theatres, but even with the effects it still blows away the zombie movies cluttering the big screen so far this year. OWN IT.

Free stuff is always good no matter if it sucks or not!
I honestly loved this movie though! I mean for a modern zombie movie it doesn't get better than this. (Unless they spend more money on their special effects shots or are smart enough to cut them.) Those plain scenes are the only thing that stopped me from toping it off with anothe star. I'm writing a review right now for a 5 star so you might check back soon. It may or may not suprise you. It'll be one or the other I suppose.
