Tail Sting

“Don't Fasten Your Seatbelt!”

Premium Crap. CrapScore 71, rated by 1 admin.

Higher CrapScores mean more entertainingly bad. How we score movies.

Why it’s crap
Genetically altered scorpions escape aboard a passenger plane, giving the overhead compartments a new and deeply unreasonable function. The creatures are conspicuous, the containment plan is hopeless and commercial interests remain impressively misplaced. A splendidly unsuitable in-flight entertainment selection.
