Name the conspiracy/monster film

This is not a competition so much.
I have a vague recollection of seeing a film, probably on American Sky TV on holiday that looked to have been shot in the late 90s or early 2000s.
It was a particularly haunting film that while not blockbuster material, I wouldn't mind seeing again.
The plot was about a conspiracy.
A number of children had won a competition and had gone on a light aircraft which crashed and those onboard were killed.
One child's parents suspected that there was more to the incident than a plane crash.
In the end, it became apparent that the plane journey was a setup. The aircraft had been consumed by some kind of creature that was normally invisible.
The whole competition was to get the children together and provide them as a kind of human sacrifice to the creature.
When the parents got too close to the truth, the firm that organised the flight tried to dispose of them.
The parents had the help of a black female police officer who was killed either by the creature or, I think, by the firm's henchmen.
I remember she used a Glock 17 to defend herself when she investigated a building but it didn't do her much good.
The form of the creature as I recall was like a giant mouth in the sky with tentacles and was ghost-like, even when it could be seen.
I thought I'd come across the film here at first because the poster looked similar to the creature and the basic premise is similar but the plot is completely different:

I've tried searching after all sorts of combinations of keywords but Google won't help me. Can anyone help me nail down this (probably-made-for-TV) movie?
