Blood Red Sky could lose a few minutes, but overall, it's a ferocious and fun merging of vampires and hijackers. Read full review

There’s an efficiency that settles in and manifests itself through the problems and the problem solving. The viewer is in on it, because we “get” the genre conventions they’re playing around with, we know why X, Y or Z as a counter-measure will work. Read full review

Blood Red Sky both is and isn't the movie you think it'll be, but it's perfectly suited for Friday night entertainment. Read full review

What could’ve been a fun chimera that someone Frankensteined together from two wildly different films instead becomes a low-flying slog that fails to sew its mismatched parts into a monster with a personality of its own. Read full review

From the “how do you mess that up” school of filmmaking, 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 blows it on poorly choreographed action, momentum-draining flashbacks, and an interminable runtime.

It’s clear that Thorwarth was trying to say something about how we judge people by their color, not their character. But the message is garbled, doused in blood, and lost in viscera, which makes its weak, half-hearted attempts at something to say even harder to stomach. Read full review

A mother who is fighting her evil for the sake of her kid is such a clever and impressive point added in this movie. The character development is great, the acting is too good, the makeup of vampires is excellent and the all-over cinematography is great.… Expand

Created an account just for this Gem, I’ve never rated a movie before, but these Karen reviews got me feeling like I have to defend what’s overlooked...

Ps: Watched with Subtitles and English Dubbed

A surprising gem. The film runs a bit long but the story is interesting. Hijackers on a plane get a little more than they bargained for in the form of a vampire passenger. It was a cool idea and the main cast acted well. It reminded me of 30 Days of Night which was also a great film. This isA surprising gem. The film runs a bit long but the story is interesting.

It's an interesting premise and it makes for an OK B-grade horror movie. It's a little over-indulgent with the gore and blood.

Vampires on a plane.

Kudos for the imagination, but let's just say the creators neglected how to balance the action movie with the storyline that's trying to make a dramatic effect with the mother protecting her child. Only in this case the mother is a vampire. I saw an overlong butVampires on a plane.

Only in this case the mother is a vampire.

I saw an overlong but thrilling story that failed to connect or accommodate its horror twist over the other motivations of the plot and, completely avoiding wanting to save surprises for viewers, delivers everything quickly and automatically, building a climax that looks more like Train to Busan than The Strain.… Expand

To top it all off, the vampire lady then starts murdering everyone as the hijackers were probably thinking the same thing we were while watching this movie. "???????? what ??????????"
Honestly even including the vampires the concept was half decent, they just had to then show a solid 40 minutes of murder.… Expand

Absolutely one of the worst movies I've seen in quite some time. Basic 'monsters/vampires' movie mixed with a 'we're trapped on a plane' movie. Pretty lackluster, unsurprisingly and obvious plotpoints. A lot of blood for the sake of blood.
