7500 [2014]

Director Takashi Shimizu takes another stab at bringing his spooky supernatural horror-chops to American audiences with 7500.
Instead of wasting your time with a brief plot synopsis, I'll just say it's Snakes On A Plane with ghosts.  Depending on how seriously you want to take this film will have a great effect on what sort of enjoyment you get out of it.  It's silly, predictable and packed with more than enough groan-worthy lines of dialogue but with a few decent creepy moments and mildly surprising twists I couldn't help but find myself giddy with this cheap thriller.  It has a helluva time finding a cohesive plot or purpose but due to it's strong genre cast and wonderful use of space, it rises a bit higher than the shit-fest it was destined to be.
