My Movie Review: The movie is a build up suspense when group of terrorists pick the wrong plane to hijack in a Netflix thriller that never finds the right way to accommodate its wild! Overall Blood Red Sky itself is a fantastic premise that starts off really well but sadly hits too many obstacles along the way to make a great sequences while keeping their emotions intact:) An innovative horror thriller after a long time, Blood Red Sky is an entertaining affair that has the right levels of chills and spills to keep you on the edge of your seats like most of the time! The brilliant Peri Baumeister stars as Nadja, a troubled mother to a precocious young son who has boarded a plane to get treatment for a mysterious illness for as the same plane gets hijacked by a bunch of ruthless armed mercenaries as she deal with same the rest of the story! Blood Red Sky takes a phenomenal concept that mixes genre hits like From Dusk Till Dawn, Snakes on a Plane, and Train to Busan and just gone to ringer, when the bite's fatal with rage:) In the end, Elias has to make a terrible choice blowing up his mother and the other vampires to contain the situation but it might seem like an overly dark and shocking way to end the story, but Elias' decision is actually the culmination of him, Nadja's relationship as protective mother:)
Critics Consensus: Blood Red Sky makes the most of its high-concept vampire story, such delivering a fast-paced treat for genre enthusiasts. The sense of surprise or playfulness that you would think is inherent in a 'Bats on a Plane' concept just isn't here. Blood Red Sky is itself a fantastic premise that starts off really well but sadly hits too many obstacles along the way to make a great story. Director/co-writer Peter Thorwarth splatters the screen with gore while tossing in surprises, delirious preposterousness and even a few touching moments. It's grand fun. It's an intriguing dilemma - one that a better film would have done more to contrast against the hijackers craven inhumanity as Blood Red Sky fails to coagulate that conflict into action. It's type of plot that screams action-horror spectacle, yet high-altitude thriller defies expectations from the start. A beating heart of familial love pumps through the veins of this intense horror-thriller with a vicious take on vampire lore. We see how even vampires are better fit for society than terrorists. There's something to be said for a film that knows exactly what it is and fulfills its remit to the level best of its ability. It may draw from obvious influences, but it is its own movie, standing alone as a suspenseful, moving, sparks, and surprising film from start to finish!
