James Cameron has a friend who knows a thing or two about making movies on a rather Titanic scale. His name is Steven Quale, and he’s spent time behind the scenes as a second-unit director on cinematic behemoths like Avatar and Titanic. But Quale also stepped into the director’s chair himself, delivering what might just be the finest entry in the gloriously death-defying Final Destination franchise: Final Destination 5. Sadly, Hollywood can sometimes be a cruel mistress, and opportunities to call the shots haven’t exactly been raining down on him since. But lo and behold, here comes 2026, and Quale is back in the pilot’s seat! This time, he’s not only directing the new horror film BLACK BOX, but he’s also handling its cinematography and editing. Talk about a one-man flight crew!

According to IMDb, “Vero Airlines Flight 298 from New Orleans to Seattle becomes the center of a chilling supernatural mystery.” Well, that’s certainly not the sort of in-flight entertainment you want when you’re buckled into seat 14B! After all, what could possibly go wrong aboard an airplane, where pulling over to the side of the road and hopping out isn’t exactly an option? And when the skies turn spooky, who better to supply the turbulence than screenwriter Stephen Susco, the man behind Unfriended: Dark Web and tasked with making sure this fright flight doesn’t run out of fuel before reaching its destination?

Filmed in Sofia, Bulgaria, BLACK BOX features a predominantly English cast, including Tom Brittney, Holly White, Betsy-Blue English, Boadicea Ricketts, and others who presumably won’t be enjoying a complimentary bag of peanuts and a smooth landing. Although the film never received a wide theatrical rollout, it touched down on VOD in June 2026, allowing horror fans everywhere to board this supernatural excursion from the safety of their own couches. So fasten your seatbelts, stow your carry-on luggage, and prepare for some airborne anxiety as your co-hosts climb aboard BLACK BOX to see whether Steven Quale has another franchise-worthy fright fest cruising at 30,000 feet—or whether this flight is cleared for a crash landing!
