I've read some pretty scathing reviews about Tape 407, so I naturally didn't have many hopes for it. Plus I'm getting as sick as most horror fans about the amount of 'found footage' films that are being churned out. This is one of those 'Blair Witch' movies filmed from a single camera all the way where you constantly shout at the screen "Why are you actually filming all this?" We know the 'first person' gimmick is just a way of filming on the cheap, but, if you can get over that here, it's not quite as bad as people are making out. Not quite.Perhaps one mistake was making the camera-person a sixteen-year-old American girl from L.A. She does tend to shriek quite a bit. However, her shrieking is soon drowned out by everyone else. The plane she's on crashes in the middle of an American military testing base/desert and the survivors end up getting stalked by a load of monsters.The film also leaves you a bit shaken due to the excessive shaky camera-work to go with the shrieking. All in all, it's a tough watch, but it's not all bad. Some of the characters are actually quite fun to watch - the air hostess is believable and passenger 'Charlie' is wonderfully annoying, making you just want to strangle him.However, and I hope this doesn't count as a spoiler, the opening test card to the film tells you that this footage is 'found' therefore you don't have to be a genius to guess the ending. The ending. The ending has left a lot of people cheesed off. Anyone who was enjoying it up until the end feels like the film-makers used one too many clichés to be believable.Yes, for all its - many - flaws, I did sit through it and feel I didn't entirely waste an hour of my life.I can't bring myself to recommend it, as it's clear that the majority of people didn't. However, I think there will be a few people out there - like me - who at least saw SOME good in it.

Also known as FILM 407; either title doesn't change any opinion of this movie. The sub-genre of found footage has hardly died. Be ready for obnoxious characters and endless chances of motion sickness. Not exactly THE BLAIR WITCH; this film is about survivors of a plane crash between NYC and Los Angeles on New Years Eve. Two teen sisters capture that horrifying flight and night on video. Of course crash survivors suffer shock, but there is always some level heads among them. A devoted stewardess and a female Air Marshall manage to keep a strange mix of personalities together before being killed one by one by an unrecognizable monster in the darkness. The shakiness of the camera matches the storyline of being filmed by an amateur and along with the horrible dialogue and almost endless bitchin' and moanin' among survivors makes the viewer prone to a buzzing headache. But then on the other hand, this type of tension may be the right setting the director was looking for. You may find the flick more irritating than just plan bad. No doubt about it, the climax grabs you. Players include: Abigail Schrader, Melanie Lyons, Samantha Lester, Brendan Patrick Connor and Jimmy Lyons.

Don't want to spoil a movie for anyone! The actors and actresses played great roles. There's complete closure at the end. Shot in first person video in present day. If you direct a movie that is supposed to be in present day, how about make the events believable and not silly. I didn't mind knowing what was after the people, but most of the events that unfold are outlandish. It's like a 10 year old directed the movie with the help of his dad! The first part of the movie takes FOREVER to unfold and once you're into the thick of things it is just plain disappointing. I usually stick with a movie no matter how bad it is to give it a fair shake. I did that with this one, but I came closer than ever to turning it off. You can watch it if you want, but just be prepared to lose interest, and be disappointed.

When you sit down to watch a horror flick the last thing you want to deal with is a bunch of loud, obnoxious and whiny people that are preventing you from enjoying the show. That is where this movie falls on its face from the word go. Seriously, we have something as miraculous as a group of misfits surviving a plane crash in the middle of the desert, but within 10 minutes I would have rather they all perished and the movie ended immediately. But let's focus on the plane crash a moment. Each and every passenger is coated in blood like a bunch of blood-frenzied vampires from what appears to be gaping head wounds. That's cool and all but it doesn't slow them down for a second nor does it shut them up. Half the party is locked up over a girl that has a splinter in her forearm or something about that critical. A tourniquet is in order for this poor girl. In the mean time some fool is running a video camera and blinding everyone in the face with it. I was amazed that the plane was in shambles with all cargo strewn about the desert but conveniently the camera with the giant lighting assembly is unscathed.Things are moving along, including the fat man that is singlehandedly annoying the crap out of the rest of the survivors. He does manage to find food for the survivors. This is when things start getting ugly. "I sar two eyes, I sar a tail, I sar some teeth" now I don't know about these idiots but I sar a dinosaur. Fast forward through an hour of them sitting in a shed crying and yelling at each other that leaves the great escape. They finally manage to find a radio and call for help and are told to go back to the plane. they find an SUV and drive back to the plane but the driver decides she doesn't like one of the other guys so she just casually runs him over. But I don't want to give away the end of the movie so go out quickly a watch this so you can see how this masterpiece ends.
