I'm not sure I ever knew what the title was, as I didn't have the headphones on and didn't catch the opening credits. It may have been a European movie that I'd never heard of for all I know. What I am certain of is the few times I looked at the screen there were scenes I found horrifying - one that particularly bothered me was where a person in the upstairs part of a house had their throat cut and then the action shifted to the room downstairs, and the camera kept showing the ceiling. First it was clean, then a little red dot, then a drop of liquid, then gradually a dripping of "blood" into the room downstairs. The scene in the downstairs room seemed to last forever - and sitting in a dark plane with nothing else to do, it's hard not to look straight ahead at the only bright area for an extended period of time.

So you checked the NW flight logs for May of '94, and that jet that looked like an NW plane really belonged to KLM, and the flight crew all had the wrong uniforms on?
