The Horror at 37,000 Feet (1973)

Overview
"The Horror at 37,000 Feet" is a 1973 scary film directed by David Lowell Rich. The film stars Chuck Connors, Buddy Ebsen, Tammy Grimes, and William Shatner. Set on a commercial airliner, the plot unfolds as the passengers and team find themselves haunted by a supernatural force.

Premise
The movie starts with wealthy designer Alan O'Neill who charters a Boeing 747 independently so he can transport a centuries-old abbey that he's purchased in England to America. The pieces of the abbey are packed in the cargo location. Among the visitors aboard the plane are his separated other half Sheila O'Neill, an inebriated ex-priest, a former singer, a playboy, a worried stewardess and flight engineer.

Conflicts and Supernatural Mischief
Bizarre occurrences quickly take place. The plane experiences a mysterious rise in elevation and inability to come down, in spite of no evident mechanical troubles according to the captain. The temperature in the cargo hold drops considerably and a green slime starts to ooze out from the taken apart abbey, spreading out across the plane's interior.

Light bulbs shatter inexplicably, drinks freeze instantly, and even a guest's pet is found frozen in the cargo hold. Objects proceed their own, concentrating on annoying the passengers. The travelers and team begin to realize that they are handling an unearthly entity tied to the bit of English abbey.

Additional Mysteries and Climax
The green slime takes a life of its own, presuming human type in minutes. At one point, it manifests as a ghostly spectral nun, who torments Sheila. The nun exposes that the abbey was home to a group of monks who dabbled with dark forces till they lost control. They had actually sacrificed a girl by walling her alive inside the abbey to contain the dark forces.

As the emergency escalates, the travelers and crew effort to calm the supernatural force. The climactic scene sees them staging a makeshift exorcism in the passenger compartment. The previous priest, Manya, and the captain play substantial functions in this desperate effort.

Conclusion
Last but not least, the film considerably fixes as Paul Kovalik, the ex-priest, provides himself as a sacrifice to the evil entity. He vanishes, which lastly calms the supernatural force and the aircraft has the ability to descend from its locked elevation. The passengers are relieved and deeply shaken, while the captain lands the aircraft, now devoid of its unnoticeable weight. The movie's conclusion leaves audiences reviewing concepts of sacrifice, history and humanity's flirtations with dark forces.

"The Horror at 37,000 Feet" is a cooling ride, literally and figuratively, that keeps audiences on edge. In spite of mixed evaluations for its a little campy content, the movie attained a cult status in the scary category and showed itself to be a remarkable movie-going experience with its unique story and unexpected plot twists.
