Once again, the University of Florida proves to be a hotbed of zombie activity. Zombies have a well documented craving for human flesh. This video, released by Campus Crusade for Christ, suggests some zombies may also have a primitive sense of rhythm.

• GENRE: Zombie Horror
• ACTORS: David Chisum, Sarah Laine, Richard Tyson, Erick Avari, Derek Webster, Kristen Kerr, Kevin J. O’Connor, Laura Cayouette, Dale Midkiff



• RATING: NR (but I would guess it would be an “R” or higher if it had been rated)
• PARENTAL NOTE: Not intended for children. Bad language and questionable situations. Violence. Zombie mayhem and gore.
• INTENDED AUDIENCE: This movie is intended for fans of the genre, and may not be appreciated by others.
• GENERAL PLOT: (No spoilers) Zombies get loose on a plane, and things go from bad to worse.
• REVIEW: This is not your typical zombie B-Movie. I don’t know the budget, but this flick has the look and feel of a major motion picture. This movie is basically snakes on a plane–but substitute zombies for snakes. Major zombie mayhem and gore. The acting is OK, but not much is required (say a few words, scream, get bit by a zombie, turn into a zombie, and bite someone else). The zombies look good. Good action. The plot is original, though not much is required in a zombie movie. Sure, you have to ignore some plot devices that cross the line into just plain asinine–exploding devices on board an airplane, and the whole ending of the movie, for example. Still, I’ve seen lots of zombie movies–the good, the bad, and the awful. Flight of the Living Dead is definitely one of the best the genre has to offer
• RECOMMENDATION:[2. If you wonder why zombie themes and horror films have space on a Christian website like K_Line Christian Online, please see my blog post on point] This is a zombie horror movie. Many people will be highly offended by every movie in this genre because of the graphic violence, gore, language and other questionable elements. However, if you are a fan of this genre–this movie is highly recommended!
• RATING (out of 5 stars): ★★★★★

I love zombie movies. The genre is about good vs. evil. Usually the match is more aptly described as partly and imperfectly good vs. pure evil. Scott Derrickson, co-writer and director of the popular horror film, The Exorcism of Emily Rose, explained how a Christian can be involved in horror movies in a 2005 article in Christianity Today:

Why would a Christian get involved in horror films, of all things?
Scott Derrickson: In my opinion, the horror genre is a perfect genre for Christians to be involved with. I think the more compelling question is, Why do so many Christians find it odd that a Christian would be working in this genre? To me, this genre deals more overtly with the supernatural than any other genre, it tackles issues of good and evil more than any other genre, it distinguishes and articulates the essence of good and evil better than any other genre, and my feeling is that a lot of Christians are wary of this genre simply because it’s unpleasant. The genre is not about making you feel good, it is about making you face your fears. And in my experience, that’s something that a lot of Christians don’t want to do. [1.
