Killing Moon (1999 TV Movie)
3/10
This man is dead and we're in Edmonton
22 June 2020
This was bad, super bad even for a made-for-TV movie but I reached a point where I had to see it through. Decent enough acting from B list stars, terrible script, as in no research done or it technically doesn't make sense. Styrofoam pellets used during a scene when the cargo door randomly opens, that sort of thing.

Follows an airplane full of passengers who are slowly succumbing to an mysterious virus on a commercial flight to Hawaii. Think a very weak version of Airport crossed with Outbreak. As an FYI this was filmed in Edmonton (as Los Angeles), nothing is filmed in Edmonton and it definitely doesn't look like L.A.

Interesting to watch this during these Covid days though because the whole time I'm freaking out about the amount of touching going on, doctor checking each passenger in turn without gloves, no masks even when they know its a virus. Enjoyed the doctor/mortician guy (Daniel Kash) reminding me of Star Trek as he kept exclaiming, this man is dead! Kim Coates overacts, forgets to limp, carries his cane, passengers spew blood, it leaks out their eyes, CDC agents on the ground try to figure stuff out, one of the Baldwins is in it, he's terrible, Smoking Man from the X-Files shows up.
