Altitude (film)

Altitude is a Canadian Horror Film directed by comic book writer and artist Kaare Andrews. It stars Jessica Lowndes, Julianna Quill, Ryan Donowho, and Landon Liboiron.

Years after Sara’s mother died in a midair collision involving her light aircraft, Sara herself has recently earned her own pilot’s license, and plans to fly herself and some friends in a small plane to see a concert. While one of her friends, Bruce, is at the controls, a brief bout of turbulence causes him to lose control, taking the plan into a steep climb into the clouds.

Now out of radio contact, disoriented by the clouds, and starting to run low on fuel, the four friends must figure out how to get down safely before the giant tentacle monster kills them all.

That’s right, the tentacle monster.

Altitude contains the following tropes:

 * Ambiguous Disorder: There more odd things about Bruce than can really be explained by childhood tragedy...
 * Darkness Equals Death: Hello, impenetrable wall of storm clouds...
 * Dark World: In the clouds, and there are unpleasant things living in it.
 * Eldritch Abomination: The giant tentacle monster that lives in the clouds.
 * Shown Their Work: The tentacle monster is based on a mythological creature called an atmospheric beast, currently lumped in the same cryptozoology category as Bigfoot and the Loch Ness Monster.
