Zombie Movie Database Review...Verhoskan at the Zombie Movie Database www.ZMDB.org offers the following review:
"An Excellent Movie
"Here's another one of those rare commodities--an excellent online movie. Everything about this movie is well done. The acting and directing are both top notch. The special effects and make-up are both excellent. The creators do a great job of building suspense until the zombie, at long last, attacks the man. There are even some funny scenes as well. The footage both outside and inside the airplane is excellently done.
"I give this fantastic movie 9 out of 10."
