Altitude
by Paul A. Birkett, directed by Kaare Andrews
Sara, whose parents died in a small-plane crash when she was a child, now has her
pilot’s license and is taking a group of friends to a concert in a small plane. One of
the group is her boyfriend, Bruce, who has the power to make weird 1950s comic book
stories come true. After this set-up, we get a nice dose of in-flight mechanical failure,
horrific monsters, wing-walking heroics, and a piece of time travel that certainly could
have come from anE.C. comic. The most horrific monster, though, is
Sara’s best friend’s jerky boyfriend who—you’re not gonna believe
this!—destroys an actual 1950s comic book!

Aren’t you listening? I made these things come true just by thinking about them!
