Think The Social Network meets Terror at 50,000 Feet as four strangers win an all-expenses paid trip to New York, courtesy of their favourite social-networking site All2gethr.com however this is no ordinary trip… Boarding a private jet to NYC the foursome find themselves trapped at 30,000 feet and forced to play a game – a game whose prize is their lives, and the lives of their loved ones – by a sinister madman known only as Alligator.
The sub-genre that it the techno-horror is much maligned in the horror community, whilst many have tried to cash in on the latest internet craze (or scare), by the time the films hit cinemas or DVD said fad is usually over and all you’re left with is an incredibly dated sub-par horror tale.

Panic Button is a United Kingdom shot indie film that was recently released on Blu-Ray, DVD and video-on-demand. Made for under $300K UK pounds Panic Button takes place on a small jet with four distressed characters wanting to get off this doomed flight. Comparable to the Saw franchise, Nine Dead and early parts of Marcus Grave's Choose as there are tough choices here, this film can be a little predictable while also raising some important internet issues e.g. cyber bullying, privacy.
Max (Jack Gordon), Jo (Scarlett Alice Johnson), Dave (Michael Jibson), and Gwen (Elen Rhys) have won the trip of a life time or so they think. A trip to New York City promises excitement while a pixelated alligator also promises SUVs, diamonds and assorted contest winnings. All they have to do is sign the terms...

At this point you should understand that we here at horrorbid are backing, Panic Button to the greatest extent possible. The film is amazingly dark while upholding a high level of integrity, and we appreciate that; It takes hard work, thought, and genuine passion to make a high calibre horror picture that regards its intended viewers with respect. Chris Crow, Frazer Lee and the cast behind Panic Button somehow pulled it off, and I must iterate (I…...

As Gertrude Stein once said, “Everybody gets so much information all day long that they lose their common sense.”
While Ms. Stein may have passed away in 1946, her sentiments have never been truer than at present. She might as well have been referring to Chris Crow’s 2011 British thriller Panic Button. Panic Button's theme is: too much information equals a lot of bloodshed. By simply viewing dangerous acts, engaging people with ulterior motives, and hacking private accounts, we are all inflicting some kind of violence upon one another. This is exactly what pisses off an animated cartoon alligator when four members of Facebook (I mean, the fictional All2gethr.com) board a private airplane bound for New York City after winning a competition.
