Not only is an airplane threatened by a bomb on board and a
hijacker (Hideo Ko), it is also forced to crashland by an UFO in the
middle of nowhere. The few survivors of the crash try to make the best
of the situation, which is not all that much since the tensions between
the passengers soon mount, & the hijacker takes stewardess Asakura
(Tomomi Sato) hostage, but when fleeing with her is hypnotized by a
nearby UFO & a bloblike alien creature enters his brain. Meanwhile
the other survivors manage to bring Asakura back to the airplane - their
homebase - & hypnotize her into telling them what happened, but
little do they believe her when she tells the truth, instead prefer to
quarrel amongst each other, making them easy victims for the hijacker
turned vampire to pluck them out one by one. Then he even manages to get
on board the plane, & when shady arms dealer Tokiyasu forces
everyone out of the plane with a gun, he makes it easy for the vampire
to kill him. Then the vampire abducts his wife Noriko (Yuko Kusunoki),
who soon afterwards is used by the aliens from the UFO to make contact
with the humans, telling them that they are to be invaded by the
inhabitants of Gokemidoro, & resistance (as always) is futile. That
said, the aliens make Noriko jump off a cliff to her death - & she
hits the ground completely dried up. By now the number of the survivors
is down to 6, & crooked politician Mano (Eizo Kitamura), war widow
Mrs Neal (Kathy Horan) & scientist Saga (Masaya Takahashi) decide to
take control over the airplane, locking the other ones - stewardess
Asakura, co-pilot Sugisaka (Teruo Yoshida), & a crazy young man who
turns out to be the airplane bomber - out as human sacrifices to the
aliens. But no airplane bomber would be complete without a bomb, &
so he blows a big hole into the plane's hull (& blows himself up
with it), making the plane not such a secure place after all. The
remaining 5 humans decide to join forces, only to immediately split up
in 2 groups again, Mrs Neal & Mano, who go ahead to look for safety
elxsewhere, & Asakura & Sugisaka, who stay behind with a
seriously injured Saga. On their escape however, Mano & Mrs Neal are
attacked by the vampire again, with the woman being killed while the
politician rushes back to the plane for help, & when Sugisaka &
Asakura offer it to him, they are locked out of the plane by Mano as
reward. Luckily, Sugisaka manages to set the vampire on fire - but not
the blob that inhabitated him, who now enters the plane to possess Saga,
who is about to be strangled by Mano anyways but now turns the tables.
Finally he goes after our co-pilot & stewardess, only to be killed
in a landslide ...
And the surviving duo even find back to civilisation (in form of a
highway junction) which seems to have been only a few miles away all the
time - but all the drivers of the cars caught in a traffic-jam appear to
be dead - sucked dry of all their blood -, as do all the patients of a
nearby hospital ... unbeknowest to Sugisaka & Asakura, the aliens
from Gokemidoro have already successfully invaded the earth ...
Very atmospheric sci-fi-horror-thriller that creates as much suspense
with the fight humans vs vampires as it does with the fight of the
humans against each other, giving a great spin to the good vs evil- or
earth vs aliens-plot. As a whole the movie seems to be set in a
geographical & temporal netherland, even though numerous allusions
to then current events (e.g. Vietnam War) are made - giving the movie a
perfect nightmarish feeling all of its own.
