Bad Omen (1992) presents a curious blend of action and tension, all set against the backdrop of a seemingly routine flight. The unease begins when the captain's co-pilot suddenly falls ill, tapping into those superstitions around bad omens. The unique setting inside a plane, especially with Jesus Christ Superstar playing, creates an odd juxtaposition—an almost surreal atmosphere. The pacing is intriguing, keeping you on edge as the flight takes a downturn. There are some interesting practical effects that stand out for the time, especially considering the limited budget. Performances vary, but there's something about the energy that keeps it engaging. It’s one of those films that lingers in your mind, partly because of its odd setup and partly due to its thematic exploration of fate versus free will.
