Flight of the Living Dead was released in 2007 as a low-budget horror film that combined elements of zombie apocalypse with the confined space thriller genre. Upon release, it received mixed reviews, with some critics appreciating its campy charm and fast-paced action, while others found the special effects and acting to be subpar. The performances of David Chisum as Truman and Laura Cayouette as Dr. Kelly were seen as solid, adding some gravitas to the otherwise B-movie plot. Over time, the film has cultivated a modest following among fans of cult horror films. Due to its blend of humor, zombie action, and sci-fi elements, it is often regarded as an underrated gem in the zombie subgenre rather than a dated relic. While it never achieved mainstream success, its reputation has grown among genre enthusiasts who appreciate its earnestness and entertaining premise.
