A few weeks ago, Lance from Kindertrauma mentioned to me that he thought a new movie called 7500 looked an awful lot like the classic 1973 made for TV movie Horror at 37,000 Feet. I know Lance knows his stuff, so my ears instantly perked up (OK, it was my eyes, since he told me in an email) and I was instantly intrigued.
Based on the trailer I saw before The Woman in Black, I would have to agree with Lance's astute observation. They do indeed feel a bit like kindred spirits. Alas, we will all have to wait until August to have all of our questions answered. I'm still excited. Could we be seeing a trend of 70s small screen moving onto the new millennium's big screen?

ReplyDeleteHonestly, I'm surprised it's taken them this long to getting around to mining the TV movie graveyard. Fingers crossed for a "Devil Dog" movie--now maybe they can *really* show what happened between Yvette Mimeaux and that dog behind the closed door! Heh-heh-heh...
They ran out of 70's theatrical horror films to remake.
ReplyDeleteHi Guys!
ReplyDeleteI think you are both right here. It took them a long time to discover they could exploit some old TVMs and they ran out of other theatricals to remake.
I'll see this though. I'm totally curious.
Thanks for the comments!
