- Horror
- Mystery
For cynical tabloid journo Richard Dees, facts are always stranger than fiction. Every headline is a dead-line. Serial killers, UFO abductions, tales of molestation, mayhem and murder. To some the tales are mere sleazy fantasy – but his faithful readers believe. And now there's a new story: The Night Flier. What is it that travels by night in a dark-winged Cessna, lands at secluded airfields and murders local residents? Dees begins to track the unknown killer in a Cessna of his own, uncovering clues that reveal a pilot more terrifying than he could have ever imagined.
The Night Flier is a 1997 horror-mystery film about a tabloid journalist who pursues a serial killer operating from a small aircraft. Directed by Mark Pavia and based on Stephen King's novella, the movie follows cynical reporter Richard Dees as he investigates a mysterious pilot committing murders at remote airfields. Now available to watch, it blends supernatural horror with journalistic thriller elements.
