Comments: Shuttle was a surprisingly good film about a group of people abducted on a shuttle on the way home from the airport. I was a bit concerned at how director Edward Anderson planned to stretch this concept over an hour and forty-five minutes, but it worked out rather well. Sure, there's a few moments where characters make idiotic decisions only to further the script (I'm pretty sure there were at least five different times when a character or characters could have made a clean break). However, this is (sadly) a common occurrence in horror films anymore so I've come to expect it. Outside of that, I really enjoyed Shuttle. It's competently written and directed, and there's never much of a lull in the action. Even though the general concept has been done before, it's still worth a watch. Recommended.
