Storyline

The film opens with two teenagers flying from New York to Los Angeles on New Years Eve. Their nightmare begins when their plane hits extreme turbulence mid-flight. The relentless weather attack causes panic and terror amongst the passengers until the plane ultimately crashes in a remote government-testing area. The handful of survivors from the crash, bloody and disoriented, are then insistently pursued in the darkness by unknown predators that, unbeknownst to them, are part of the government's top-secret Mesa Experiment.

User Reviews

i normally hate shaky cam vids but

October 17th Area 407 I have and always will hate shaky camera style that said, the preview for this still intrigued me enough to watch it. The basic and predictable plot is of a plane crash into a secluded desert with prehistoric raptor things hunting the horribly wounded survivors. What makes this different and better than most shaky cams is 1) there's no designated camera holder, it gets switched around between people, 2) it actually aims towards the things happening and 3) at one point the camera is used as a weapon. As predictable as the plot is it still kept your interest on how it was getting to point to point. The acting was really great in the sense that everyone was constantly in hysterics and you got really annoyed with them but at the same time, most people are going to be behaving the way they did if they were getting chased by raptors immediately after a plane crash. As much as I didn't expect to, I really enjoyed this movie to the point that I'm giving it a 7 out of 10
