Genre: Horror/Horreur

Annee/Year: 2010

Format: DVD

Altitude. Director Kaare Andrews is coming from the comic scene. This is clearly shown in his first full length movie Altitude as it is based on a "Tales from the dark side" type of pulp stories. If you are not familiar with the strange story pulp comics then look at this movie as a full length twilight zone episode.

This is the story of a young pilot who takes her friends along for a plane flight to a rock show. In route they enter a strange cloud and start being attacked by an imaginary flying giant squid... Well the story is definitely strange and incosistent but the crux of the story at the end is quite interesting. So the comic 5 page story was probably enough; not sure a full lenght feature was required. Some of the actors are truly irritating (as teenagers often should...) but if you go above that the script is still holding some interest. Definitely not for all.

Altitude. Le director Kaare Andrews nous vient du monde des bande dessinés sur papier. L`idée de ce film provient clairement d`une de ces courtes histoires de BD. Ca ressemble a un épisode géant de Twilight zone.

L`histoire est celle d`une jeune pilote qui embarque ses amis abord d`un bimoteur afin de se rendre a un concert rock dans une ville voisine. Ils entrent dans un nuages sombres et étranges duquels ils ne peuvent sortir. Ils y font la rencontre d`un monstre imaginaire a forme de pieuvre volante géante... Si vous arrivez à soutenir les acteurs adolescents irritants (comme plusieurs ados) vous risquez de découvrir la fin intéressante mis en place. Une excellente histoire qui aurais put être raconté en 5 pages de BD... mais quand même un peu d`intéret. Pas pour tous.
