It started out great & even some of the scenes on the plane were great (tho sadly there were no snakes involved). The headbutt was nice. But there was 2 much shit that like that which happened on the plane that no other passenger seemed 2 notice. Pretty unrealistic. And once they got off the plane it became a run of the mill, cliched as hell, I dont know what type of movie, but 1 that I had seen a dozen times before. Brian Cox literally phoning in his performance didnt help matters either. I guess I just expected more from Wes Craven but I should've known better w/ the pg-13 rating.
