Red Eye (2005)

This is probably one of my greatest fears; the random stranger you’ll sit beside on a plane? Will the block the bathroom? Steal your armrest? Or be incredibly chatty all the way across the ocean? Or worse, will they threaten to kill you and bring the plane down?

In true Wes Craven fashion, Red Eye is the worst case scenario of an everyday situation. It’s claustrophobic, intense and incredibly suspenseful. In the case of the movie, the terrorist needed his seat mate, who worked at a hotel, to move a politician from one room to another, so he could be assassinated. While the rest of us might not be that important, what can you do if someone holds you secretly hostage on a plane? I hope never to find out.
