The Truth Can't Hide Forever

Limited Release in few theaters this Friday, October 24th, 2008 is a new supernatural thriller, Passengers, starring Anne Hathaway. There isn't much publicity about the film, so it is nearly impossible to offer up a decent preview of what looks like a very freaky movie.

Claire Summers is a psychologist who is sent in by her mentor, to counsel ten survivors of the mysterious plane crash of Flight 117. Each is experiencing their own shock and trauma from the tragedy, but one of survivors, Eric, is dealing with something else entirely different ... he has discovered he now has certain powers, since the incident, like knowing the personal details of his new therapist's life!

Claire begins to fall the rather secretive Eric, while she tries to unravel the mysterious events regarding the plane crash. The airline company doesn't want her digging too deep into the crash, but her new patients are beginning to disappear. And other manifestations that she cannot explain are appearing and disappearing, at will.
