In 1943, an injured flight officer (Chloë Grace Moretz) hops aboard a B-17 called The Fools Errand, carrying some top secret contraband with her. The crass crew ends up being the least of her worries when something begins terrorizing the flying fortress. Held up in the ball turret, shit starts getting weird and pretty damn claustrophobic. Of course, the bat-like gremlin creature and cloud-camouflaged enemy airship are making her time in the belly of the aircraft increasingly unpleasant. What’s in her bag? What’s with the monkey-bat-rat thing? And what’s our female badass’ secret? Oh man. This movie does not let up once it gets started. Ms. Moretz is wonderful in what is nearly a one-woman show contained in small quarters for a good amount of the runtime and there’s a fantastic vibe of weird bubbling under everything. Is it ridiculous? You bet your baby-in-hand, plane-crawling ass it is but it’s one god damn fun time.
