What seems like a standard commercial flight goes horrifically wrong when a few scientists fail to keep their experiment contained. The fact that said experiment is a living person who’s been intentionally infected with a modified version of the Malaria virus should indicate where this story is headed (if the goofy film title didn’t already lead you down the proper path). Under guise of a nasty thunderstorm and the subsequent turbulence, the genetically altered captive is freed from confinement. When a long lost extra from Wolfgang Peterson’s Outbreak pumps the escapee full of lead, all hell officially breaks loose.
Up jumps the corpse, fully reanimated with an evident thirst for blood. The stellar guard on duty is quickly disposed of, but not for long, as he too rises after being turned into a human entrée. It’s safe to assume this problem escalates at an alarming rate, »

From the amount of genre news that's filtered through the site these past seven days, it's tempting to ask, "What recession?" But except for a very few high profile films, the majority of the projects currently in various stages of production are quite modest, whether they are indies or studio funded. And lucky for us, some sound quite promising. Which are the five that stood out during the week of March 29-April 4, 2009?
First up is Section 8. Paramount, Gaumont, and MySpace are teaming up for this new web series, which will debut exclusively on MySpace in the fall. Do we need another supernatural thriller with a Ten Little Indians premise? Isn't that what "Harper's Island" is? But Section 8 is additionally part social experiment as "it will have elements designed to allow viewers to use various functions of the [MySpace] networking service while watching the segments.

Ever notice whenever there's a non-comedy made about magicians they're almost always either using their powers of magic and illusions to fight evil or commit it? The pattern continues with the serial killer thriller Magic Man. The real magic might well be its cast: Billy Zane, Robert Davi, Armand Assante, Bai Ling, Andrew Divoff, and Richard Tyson.
Billy Zane stars as popular Las Vegas magician Krell Darius. Tourist Tatiana (Estelle Raskin, not familiar with her) just happens to be the daughter of a magician's assistant killed on stage during an illusion gone wrong. Of course she falls under Krell's spell, and, of course, it turns out her mother's death may not have been an accident after all, and, of course, Krell may have been in some way responsible. Could Krell be a master magician whose greatest trick is getting away with murder? And could Tatiana be next?
As Tatiana's beautiful »
