Goofs

About halfway through the movie: "The Twilight Zone: Nightmare at 20,000 Feet", an episode of The Twilight Zone which features a gremlin on the side of the plane, slowly dismantling it while terrifying William Shatner's character is being shown as the in-flight entertainment. In reality, any visuals of that intensity would be censured so as not to cause discomfort in passengers.

User Reviews

Disappointed

I waited years to see 7500, after numerous delays I thought I'd never experience it. The trailer looked promising, and rather terrifying too. Finally, I've seen this supernatural thriller set on a plane, and I am wholly disappointed. 7500 looks cheap, the dialogue is so unnatural it makes for unintentional laughter and the characters have no backstory or depth. Praise however goes to Nicky Whelan, whose performance is very real and rather amusing at times as a clean freak chatterbox who feels the need to boast to any passenger in her proximity. I've met people like this in real life so this character is relatable and plays a good foil to the supernatural element...An element that fails thanks to some of the most shopworn and cheap jump scares ever put to film. Without an eerie atmosphere or dread, this flight is grounded.
