Only to find that Captain Kirk has taken a dump on the dance floor and Jed Clampett slipped and fell in it. What can you really expect from a made for TV movie starring a bunch of people who are at least a decade past their prime? Not much I'd say and that's what you get with this movie. My favorite part is when the little girl gives up on her lame British accent. While it is a dumb movie, it's probably Shatner's best work.

I really was hoping for better with this cast and the idea behind this film but I found it somewhat disappointing - mainly some of the characters that ruined this movie. 3 female passengers that are witchy with a capital "B". Two that are "witchy" wives and one zealous religious nut - I really wanted to slap all 3 of them. There is also one really screwed up crazy woman, one irritating child and one freaking clownish cowboy. The rest of the characters are okay enough it's just the 6 I mentioned that got on my nerves. (Notice I said the characters NOT the actors themselves).The story is good enough for a film of this type but I wasn't crazy about the pea-soup coming out of the baby doll... that was just dumb.5/10

A familiar cast of TV veterans star in this entertaining, reasonably effective TV movie that stars Roy Thinnes("The Invaders") as an architect transporting an old Abbey altar on an airplane from London to L.A. that comes to demonic life, threatening all aboard, like William Shatner("Star Trek") as a former priest called back into action to defeat the evil, and Chuck Conners("The Rifleman") as the pilot. Buddy Ebsen("Barnaby Jones") and Russell Johnson("Gilligan's Island") costar.Interesting coincidences here: both Shatner and Johnson starred together on an excellent episode of "Thriller" called 'The Hungry Glass', and Shatner also memorably appeared on "The Twilight Zone" as a similarly tormented man('Nightmare At 20,000 Feet') Both Shatner and Conners would later costar in spoof "Airplane II: The Sequel" Just out on DVD, and worth a look.

The Horror at 37,000 Feet (1973) ** 1/2 (out of 4)AIRPORT with demons is the best way to sum up this made-for-TV flick that isn't one of the best out there but thankfully there's a terrific cast that helps make it entertaining. What we've basically got is a flight from London to Los Angeles where a couple bring on board an ancient abbey. Half way through the flight an invisible demon breaks free and goes after the passengers. THE HORROR AT 37,000 FEET isn't a masterpiece by any stretch of the imagination but if you enjoy these TV movies and you like the genre then you should be able to at least get a few kicks out of it. We get a pretty impressive cast that includes Chuck Connors, Buddy Ebsen, William Shatner and Paul Winfield and there's no question that these familiar faces help keep the film moving at times. I think out of all of them Winfield comes across the best as a good-hearted doctor trying to help people. Shatner is fun to watch as the former priest who has turned to alcohol instead of God. The screenplay offers up several interesting ideas, although not too much can be done with such a short running time of 74-minutes. I really liked how the demon was using the cold to work its magic as this here is something I've never seen before. There are some major problems in the picture and one is the incredibly bad and campy sound effects that play whenever the demon is at work. These things are never scary and quite often they kill whatever the film had working up. The shots of the plane flying are also quite laughable in how cheap they are but this here doesn't kill the film too much. THE HORROR AT 37,000 FEET is short enough and contains enough fun to make it worth viewing.
