"As with so many other Stephen King adaptations of the 90's, Night Flier has that low budget, made for TV feel that can be hard to shake off as the film progresses.
Unlike others, however, if you enjoy a bit of shlocky horror this one actually keeps interest despite the questionable acting and bizarre editing.
We follow a reporter of dubious morality who is investigating the Night Flier, a killer who flies a custom black plane and leave a swathe of gory destruction in his wake.
As events turn ever creepier, our filthy reporter starts to question his own sanity and if the killer is something a bit more supernatural. It's cheese of the highest order, but the practical affects are wonderful with gaping wounds, decapitated heads and a chilling end reveal that I couldn't help but take pleasure in.
This is never going to win any awards, but if you have to pick something from the king filmography that isn't a well known one, grab this one - it's surprisingly enjoyable"
- 6/10
